Well, it happened: The champ is OUT. There will be a new fugliest fugger for 2009, and it could be, quite seriously, ANY of the people still in the competition. Without further ado, here are Thursday's pivotal clashes:
(1) AUBREY O'DAY vs. (1) SOLANGE
Solange just continues to lay waste to the competition, doesn't she? With 73 percent of the vote, she stormed past Bai Ling, whom voters apparently felt just didn't bring it with her usual zest in the past year. Next, she faces off against some of the most formidably veiny, exposed cleavage we've ever seen. It takes a truly frightening girl to out-fug Courtney Love AND Phoebe Price AND Lisa Rinna in the same tournament, but that's exactly what Aubrey did, winning her C.Love contest with a whopping 70 percent.
(1) SWINTON vs. (1) MISCHA BARTON
Early on Tuesday morning, Lady Gaga had Mischa at roughly 50-50. Then she had a four-percent edge. Then, twenty minutes later, Mischa had claimed that same edge, and she never gave much of it back: With 52 percent of the vote, La Barton surged past the pantsless princess and into her first-ever Final Four. She'll face off against SWINTON, who put back the charge from Katy Perry with 55 percent of the vote.
So, for the first time in our resplendent two-year history, all four No. 1 seeds made it through to the Final Four unscathed. It should be a hotly contested and very fugly day here on Thursday; vote early and as often as your browser cookies will allow.

The Solange/AOD showdown should be a barn burner! I think Mischa will give SWINTON some problems, but she'll take it.
I really hope that the final contest is between Solange and SWINTON. I love those guys!
I am giddy with anticipation!
I really am hoping for a SWINTON vs. Solange finale. That is what I had predicted from the get go so it would quite delightful. I am slightly surprised SWINTON didn't win more of the vote vs. Katy Perry.
I too think the Solange vs. Aubrey O'Day will be a mighty battle of pure fugness.
I cannot wait for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh please please please PLEASE let it be a Solange/SWINTON final!
I predict that Solange/O'Day will be close, but SWINTON will swoosh past Mischa without even noticing the rather sad pile of musty garments and headbands at her feet.
It's all just *too* glorious!
Can I just mention that the Bjork head is really scary? The longer I look at it, the more I wonder what happened to Bjork and all of her fuggliness...
I think Mischa has epitomized fug this year, and will oust hometown fave Swinton in a close one, before crushing So Long, Solange in the final.
Mischa, baby, Mischa!!
Magnifique! It's like a Fug sampler:
SWINTON: deliciously avant garde, like a bizarre haute cuisine canape you dare not eat
Solange: colorful and random, like a schizophrenic salsa made by a blind chef with no sense of tatse
Aubrey: an uber-cheap take on comfort food favorites - like cold leftover Hooters boneless buffalo wings
Mischa: bland and misguided like boxed mac n' cheese
I'm starving already!
Bad girls heart Obama? It's gotta be O'DAY.
omg, i am SO PUMPED! solange is just guano crazy and i cannot wait.
ladies, hats off to you again. you are superb. my fave moment? the obama-as-weary-bystander-of-the-perry-fug. LOVE that!
The Mischa Barton archives are 6 - 6! - pages long. She has been fugged 3 times as much as the other contenders, each of whom only have 2 pages of archives. Mischa is the very essence of fug and her fug is constant and unrelenting.
I'm giving my other vote to Aubrey because she whorefugs and wears that poor little dog as an accessory. Solange is bizarre but whatever; she doesn't give me the heebie jeebies like Aubrey does. I'd dunk girlfriend in a vat of penicillin before I touched her (presuming I ever have a reason to touch Aubrey O'Day, which: no.)
Just goes to show that Heather and Jessica know how to rank these fuggers. ALL FOUR No. 1's made it to the final four. That never happens in "real life." Holy cow! As Harry Caray would have said.
Still hoping for a SOLANGE / SWINTON showdown.
If SOLANGE wins, we all have to start calling her by one name with ALL CAPS.
My bracket is completley shot, but am I upset? No way. I still think C-Love should have beat Aubrey, but other than that I think it is a perfect setup. Final round: Solange v. Swinton!
Today is going to be like Christmas Eve in April. I can't wait till tomorrow! Viva la Fug Madness!!!
I have to agree with the commenter Lisa @ 9:15. That Bjork head is so incredibly scary and awesome, it's almost better than Fug Madness itself.
I'm rooting for a Solange/Mischa showdown. Swinton is awesome, true, but I see her as more of the Patron Saint of Fug. :D
Oh god, if the Mischa "coke freak" photos enter into the competition (with her seated next to Kanye especially), it'll be scorched earth for the competition. Thus far, the Mischa photos have been the sweet deluded Mischa, not the "I've been up for weeks" Mischa. Only time will tell ...
I'm with Ames at 9:57. Solange/Mischa is the dream final, for Solange/Mischa channel the true essence of fug. SWINTON is something special and magical: a totem, a goddess, an inspiration. SWINTON is above this contest and above us all. I wouldn't want to dishonor her with a win. She deliberately performs intellectual fug. Fug with intent.
Solange, Mischa and Aubrey, on the other hand, are pure, tragic, hopeless, unstoppable, 24-carat fug. Fug in the Bai Ling Classic Era mold. Fug to be pointed and laughed at.
Nobody mocks SWINTON.
I am glad that Mischa made it this far...her fug is like the Chloe of last year, only less pompous and more sad...like the flower child who was abandoned at a highway truck stop by her hippie parents. Does the paparazzi still follow her because the OC is debuting in remote South Asian countries? I think SWINTON and Solange should be in the final...but it's going to get nasty...really nasty. And I must correct all of you, "Aubery O'Day" should actually be "Aubery O'Day's Dog."
Wow, look at what Swinton wore to the Met Ball, and look at what Mischa wore to the Met Ball. My eyes are burning.
So, maybe we should ask SWINTON be removed from the competition and simply ENSHRINED as representative of spectacular, incomprehensible fug that simply cannot be critiqued into correction because it is, somehow, so very right?
I'm good with it. Bronze her. Or wait, she may do it herself.
I just don't get Solange. Or Mischa, for that matter. Mischa just looks so genuinely unaware of what's going on in the first place, as if she woke up from a long nap to find herself in these napkins and headbands, and she has no idea why. Solange also strikes me as completely without clue and no amount of quarters will help her.
I guess I'm an admirer of the conscious, deliberate fug rather than the accidental, intervention preventable fug.
And SWINTON.
SWINTON is going to BRING IT!!!
It comes down to a question of what supreme fugliness is; and what we want it to be. Is deranged awesomeness as represented by SWINTON the ultimate fug? Is it the cheap and icky PUT IT AWAY, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD-style of Aubrey O'Day? Or is it the annoying and desperate plea for being percieved as "interesting" and avant-garde that Mischa and Solange embody?
I can't decide. All I know is that I love SWINTON, horrendous tux and all. And I hate Mischa and wish for someone to dump her in the desert so we never ever have to see her again. (Please take Katy Perry also, thank you)
I know SWINTON is a legend here, but she can actually pull off her crazy styles. She's regal and interesting whereas M. Barton is slouchy and weird so I really don't expect it's going to be a slam dunk win for SWINTON. I think Solange is going to win easily against Aubrey. Solange is so thorough and inventive in her fugliness.
SWINTON VS SOLANGE will make all my fug dreams come true
I am tempted by Mischa's SWINTON mini-me-ness (doubters need to look at their faces when they read "i am fug goddess bow down" pleased with themselves) but she needs to study SWINTONese a little bit longer
Also...it could be just that i am a cat person...but it's getting tiresome hearing how people aparently vote for Aubrey based on sympathy for her annoying little lap dog...remember SWINTON, SOLANGE and Mischa did not need tortured animal accessories to get our votes!
Sigh, it looks like Swinton is going to win. I truly hope not - her type of fug is just TOO brilliant for this competion. It is uneven - nobody can even compare.
I am still pulling for O'Day (fingers crossed as I type - not easy).
I think one of the reasons that I want this for SWINTON so much is that I harbor this deep hope that she and her husband and boyfriend sit at home on Sunday mornings, eating porridge from recycled coffee mugs and reading GFY. I rather think that SWINTON would be absolutely tickled that people care that much about her fashion.
I can't vote! It is so a four way tie.
Could Swinton really make it to the finals? Seriously? Is this fug championship handed out with loving or loathing hands? Swinton's fug made me want to know more about her, and the more I learned, the more I adored her. The other girls.....they are just....Blechhh! All of them.
What does it all mean!??
PS. There is no way that swinton, even in her fugliest of fashion faux pas, comes close to the fug of O'Day on her best day. The girl has fug in her genetic material.
O'Day makes me like Bai Ling. 'Nuff said?
We should just skip straight ahead to SWINTON vs Solange.
Well, well... we have a dirty, skankazoid fug versus a "I may bathe, but I am still fug." in each of these two battles.
Fellow fug-finders, what ARE we gonna do?
I am glad I will have a few hours to ponder this.
Hmmm... I wonder if there is a psyco-therapist who takes walk-in clients? I may need one after all this.
There is no possible way I can choose between Aubrey O'Day and Solange.
SWINTON, Her Royal Fugness, shall fall before the unintelligible fugshion aspirations of SOLANGE. So let it be written, so let it be fugged.
Solange and SWINTON! SWINTON! for the win!
So we have trashy, dumpy, outlandish and avant garde in the finale? I hope Swinton doesn't win. She's too awesome.
Go Swinton!
Avant garde at least has a point.
The rest of them just can't put together an outfit. Though I must say that Solange shows the most promise of eventually coalescing her style into a point (though not into anything pleasant)
SWINTON is going to take over the world. Just the other day my boyfriend and I watched Burn After Reading, and everytime she came on screen we'd look at one another all trance-like and whisper:
SWIN-TON.
The Kool-aid tastes great, people. Have some.
I'm shocked (SHOCKED!) that Lady Gaga is out of the running. And with that, while I love me some SWINTON, it would feel too much like a coronation at this point, and I'm willing to bet she has plenty of her own crowns and scepters at home, just waiting to be broken out for a night on the town (or run to Ralphs, or stroll around the block). She is SWINTON. She doesn't need our validation, unless she can fashion it into an avant-garde hat. Solange for the win!
Oh, I am so glad that there are two fuggers left that I have nothing but affection for. If there is a god(s,ess), we'll wind up with a Swinton/Solange showdown. And that would be nothing less than fantastic. And if either Barton or O'day end up in the two two, perhaps one of them will hear about it and learn a lesson?
I've been looking over the archives of the four contenders and cackling madly with delight. This is indeed a glorious day.
I wonder if any of these fuggers actually know that they are being recognized for their efforts?
I know Bai Ling made comments about her win in her blog last year.
I would really like to believe that the winner for this year will be as appreciative of our efforts as was Ms. Ling.
I mean, this was not easy to accomplish!!!!!! I know I have spent MINUTES on my voting. I know the rest of you spent your share of minutes, too. Minutes that we could have spent Googling other things, like...
fly fishing
or
antiseptics
...
What bugs me the most about Mischa's fugliness (well apart from the fact that she's a horrible actor)is that most of her outfits are ill fitted. She's trying to cram her tall frame into a small dress. This is unforgivable. I can forgive a bad color choice -we've all made them. I can rejoice at a trully tacky ensemble-it takes balls to go against the grain. Not so with an ill-fitted piece. That's what a seamstress is for. Wardrobe choices should not be made in haste. I feel Mischa picks something out and does not try it on. Nor does she give a thought to the proper accessories which are as crucial as the main piece. Hello??? Stylist aren't that expensive. Then we have SWINTON, the Goddess of Scotland who I feel does have a stylist and there does seem to be some thought process in making her wardrobe selection. I also think she goes to have proper fittings -being 180 feet tall mandates this. But her choices are so gloriously wrong wrong wrong. She reminds me of a Star Trek episode (Kirk and Spock) that had these aliens where all you saw was their deathly pale bald heads. Their entire bodies were covered in gold lame dressing gowns. I did alot of LSD in high school so I could be wrong on my flashback. But those beings remind me of SWINTON. I don't feel Mischa should be rewarded for being cheap and lazy. Vote for SWINTON!
This must be an April Fool's joke. SWINTON who can wear a mustard colored toga-like dress and make it look Supreme beat Katy Perry who wore a merry-go-round?
NO.
I love SWINTON and I love thinking of her in all CAPS and I love rejoicing in some of her crazy choices, but she is not the queen of of all that is fugly.
Gah! Bai Ling is out and there goes my dream of the Bai-SWINTON throwdown. I think it's going to come to Solange-SWINTON...or Solangton or SWINAGE.
@BellJarGurl: "I did alot of LSD in high school so I could be wrong on my flashback."
LOL! That has to be one of the best comments yet. I wish that could be the explanation for half these fashion choices.
Mischa must be down, finally! And Aubrey O'Day is clearly no match for Solange. SWINTON & Solange head to the final!!
I'm simultaneously overjoyed and depressed at this development.
On one hand, I'm glad that Katy was held off. On the other hand: MISCHA FUGGING BARTON?!
I mean, yeah, I'm sick of Lady Gaga. But I'm sick of Mischa even more. And if we're going to let SWINTON through because of her costume fug...ugh.
Mischa's like Super-Peldon. Except without the bargain-bin at Wet Seal charm. Speaking of which, I miss the days when Courtney and Brown would go to the opening of an eye.
It's definitely going to be a SWINTON vs. Solange final.
FUGGING LOVE FUG MADNESS
SWINTON ftw!
Because honestly...
http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/2009/03/future-fashion-tilda-swinton.html
She takes FUG and makes it ART.
SWINTON is art
the rest = desperation
and I'm convinced that the lack of work has left barton without a stylist. this is what happens when unimaginative people try to be cutting edge. barton ftw
O'Day - the shining example of SoCal plastic-fantastic at its worst... Swinton, at least knows how to pull SOME of that off... though not very well... Barton is starting to remind me of Amy Winehouse (and NOT in a good way)... and Solange? - The only thing I can think of is that she dresses the way she does strictly for attention. If attention whorism was a religion, Solange would be one of its patron saints.
I'm down for a Swinton-Solange showdown. :D
SWINTON can be fugly with _class_ which, by definition, makes her NOT fugly. See?
Gotta go with Mischa vs. Solange, with Solange for the win.
Plus, I'm running a free office pool (although I'm already out), with fabulous prizes, and my girl in the lead has Solange over Mischa, and I want her to TAKE IT. Then I can give her a used copy of Joan Collins' autobiography or something equally spectacular.
Even though Jan Brady I mean BasementBaby- I mean ~Solaaange~ managed to beguile and confuse the voters with a melange of pity-scoring desperation and My Little Pony flashbacks, I will probably vote her forward this time so that I don't have to look at Aubrey's boobs anymore.
Plus, I kind of like it when she paints her eye shadow all the way across her face. It reminds me of Pris in Blade Runner. Also of a really bad film about the god of trees stalking teenagers in a polystyrene desert on a sound stage, that had a snappy jazz number in it for no reason.
SWINTON won't even need to stretch before this match. Although, Gaga didn't romp home to victory over Sadsack, and she really should have.
Well, I'll be there for you SWINTON.
Fug Queen is not something earned through insecurity and desperation.
It is SWINTON's grace and confidence that make her FUG so spectacular and self-assured. It is undeniably FUG. CONSUMMATE UNPARALLELED FUG. But not one of these little wannabes could hope to achieve it. But they should TRY, next year. ;)
Jael_Paris at 12:59 pm: "So we have trashy, dumpy, outlandish and avant garde in the finale?"
HAHAHA. Yes! I think that sums it up perfectly.
Aubrey FTW!
It's thursday already, here in Australia- oh the agony of waiting to vote.The Obama plea for non-inclusion was fab.
very respectfully submitted
ohh i cannot decide between aubrey and solange... i just cant! they are absolutely the same level
swinton is of course the goddess of fug! whoa, hope she wins!
solange vs mishcha...think about it. waaay better than swinton vs anyone, our goddess of fug. she's too good for this earthly competition.
misha "my coked-out pupils are the size of saucers" barton vs solange and her "breathe right strip of righteousness"?? MINDFUCK.
seriously, whoever coined 'breathe right strip of righteousness' deserves an medal.
