High Fug Musical

Hark: Ashley Tisdale is blonde again. And is that a hot-pink romper I spy?

Even worse, is that her BRA I spy?

So, help me out here, Ashley Tisdale:

Why the leggings, child? If it's warm enough for a sleeveless dress and peep-toe shoes in New Jersey -- which, I hear from reliable sources, it actually may have been -- then why are you hedging your bets with those stupid things? You don't need them! They are evil! Have we not learned? Are we not, as a nation, past this bit of sartorial madness? Did you forget to shave? Because I have news for you: Leg hair WILL burrow through those, and then you will spend the rest of the night absently running your hand over the prickles and wondering if they are catching the light. Trust me.

On a separate note: Is it just me, or is the pattern on this dress eerily reminiscent of the kind of desktop photos that come standard on a lot of PCs? I'm relieved it's not just a giant scarf she poked her head through -- which is what I thought when I saw this photo in thumbnail size -- but now I can't escape the urge to decorate it with iTunes and Snood shortcuts.

High School Fug: Fug Year

VANESSA HUDGENS: I am a VISION IN WHITE!

ZAC EFRON: I don't know why I always look slightly covered in a light sheen of perspiration.

ASHLEY TISDALE: Are they marrying me and Vanessa off to Zac tonight? What's with all the white gowns?

VANESSA: This is my SULTRY look. What do you think?

ZAC: Did you hear that I'm starring in a remake of Footloose? Certain internet bloggers are ashamed to admit that they might go see that in the theatre.

ASHLEY: No, seriously. Is this some kind of Big Love-esque group marriage, and if so, why did Vanessa get the goddess dress? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO TELL ME? Oh well. At least my legs look good.

Wow, I already forgot that A. Tis used to be blonde:

When she went darker, I was all, "A Tis! Stay blonde! It's so cute on you!" but looking at this, I'm like, "A Tis! Those extentions! They appear to be made of straw! Call your Extension Dude immediately! Also, aren't you cold in that? It's NOVEMBER. Put on a SWEATER. PS: you CAN'T get hot abs without working out, no matter what the cover here says." So maybe going back to her natural hair-suit was a wise move. Mea culpa, Ashley. Mea culpa.

MONIQUE COLEMAN: I know I've had this bob for a couple of months, but it's still REALLY CUTE ON ME!!

ASHLEY TISDALE: Sigh.

VANESSA HUDGENS: I can't even LOOK at A. Tis right now.

MONIQUE: Seriously, am I not CUTE WITH THIS HAIR!?

ASHLEY: I knew this hair was a mistake. I look so boring now.

VANESSA: Did Tis get that dress from Forever 21...in 1987? I have totally seen old people wearing it in, like, pictures of the olden times. It's so sad!

MONIQUE: Things are GOOD!

ASHLEY: I mean, brunettes are hot. Look at these two. But me...I might be better as a blonde. I feel sort of....blah with this hair. And the cut is kind of blah. So very blah. I'm not even wearing lip gloss.  I just feel....blah.

VANESSA: Whereas my hair is so lustrous, and my boots so very naughty. I feel so young and vibrant. 

MONIQUE: I just want to go outside and TWIRL AROUND!

ASHLEY: Am I wearing a headband? Blair Waldorf isn't blah. What's wrong with me, America? WHY AM I SO SAD?

VANESSA: Poor Ashley. She's like the Boring Meat in a sandwich made of Adorable Bread and no one wants to eat her. Or something. You know what I mean.

Fug Or Fab: Ashley Tisdale

We already zapped Li'l Tisdale with a fug-or-fab once this week, but it seems like she's making a habit out of "sort of cute, maybe" outfits.

83163989.jpg

There's plenty of okay elements here but, for me, the whole isn't worth the sum of the parts. I don't know. Perhaps it's that the bodice line seems awfully low. Or that the bling on the belt and neck looks a tad chintzy .It could also have to do with the fact that the entire dress makes her look oddly square. But I suspect my malcontent was spawned by the winged, fussy shoulders -- which I don't object to in principle, but in practice they make it look like Ashley is either shrugging or just incredibly stiff and tense. If she bobbed her head down a touch more, she'd be Hilary Duff circa 2004. Even Hilary Duff would probably react to that with a shudder. She knows.

Fug or Fab: Ashley Tisdale

I am torn with A. Tis here. On one hand, I feel like this is sort of cute, maybe:

83135204.jpg

On the other hand, I feel like she kind of looks like a cocktail waitress at a Disney-sponsored futuristic bar called, like, Comets! that serves any number of drinks with dry ice stuck in them for effect. I guess she IS working on the Mouse's dime.

 
There is something hilarious to me about seeing A. Tis standing here all, "Yep. Stirrup tights. On my body. Kinda ruining these hot-ass shoes," while behind her stands her own self in a more joyous (and extremely blonde) moment. Not to mention Zac Efron leaping around behind her, just overflowing with glee.

I don't actually loathe the separate pieces of this look -- well, except for the stirrup tights, but that's hardly a surprise. That top would be cute with jeans while you're out running errands. And the skirt is unusual, but it's definitely not so crazy that you couldn't pull it off with the right top. But all of this together -- pink casual top! neutral astroturf skirt! grey tights! blue shoes! -- makes her look like the poster girl for the proverbial She Got Dressed In the Dark situation. Sharpay would not approve.

Ashley Fugdale

I have to hand it to Ashley Tisdale for being 22 in Hollywood and somehow not a clammy mess of coke-dusted roadkill. Seriously, that's no small achievement. Way to go, Ashley. That doesn't mean I'm going to watch High School Musical, though. So don't ask.

However, I do wish you'd stop confusing me.

I saw this photo and thought, "Yikes. But, you know, she's only 15 or something; she's going to make mistakes like having some sort of creature on her shirt that mostly looks like the telltale trail of a powdered donut." But of course, she's in her 20s. She's old enough to go into a bar, wearing this -- and not even on Halloween -- and order herself a shot of something with "hooter" in the title despite the fact that she's got on cuffed jeanshorts, knee socks, and shoes that the Back To The Future II prop department rejected for lacking realism.

Although, once she changed her clothes, I found myself almost nostalgic for Eau de Sassy Freshman With Designs On the Pep-Squad Captaincy.

High School Fug

The success of High School Musical has taken even star Ashley Tisdale by surprise. Everywhere she goes, she encounters fans and loving homage to her work in the Disney movie. For example, the outfit pictured below, worn recently to some kind of event that we didn't really pay any attention to, inspired several high school musicals of its own:

Westridge School for Girls in Pasadena, California, mounted an all female version of West Side Story, called Weird Skirt Story, a tragedy about the forbidden love between tulle and leggings. Senior Jennifer Monroe was particularly moving in the role of  Boots,  Legging's sassy sister. Her rendition of  "A skirt that like, it killed your brother/ forget that skirt, and find another/ One of your own kind/ stick to your own kind," brought the proverbial house down.

Across the country,  Robert F. Kennedy High School in Hackensack, New Jersey,  found great luck with a musical titled Leather Todd: The Demon Wristband of Fleet Street, in which Tisdale's wristband (thrown away by a Tisdale impersonator in the first act) goes on a killing spree, destroying headbands, anklets, and other defenseless accessories -- all in a desperate cry for attention from Tisdale, who tragically ends up in a meat pie at the conclusion of the play.

Tisdale's ensemble inspired even high school students in other countries. Toronto's School for the Performing Arts hosted a two-week long, sold-out run of the student-penned musical  The Music Boots, the story of a pair of boots that leaves his past as a con-man behind, redeemed by the love of a blonde actress/librarian named, appropriately, Ashley. The dance routine in which Boots convinces Ashley to leave her buttoned up past behind and do fan kicks on top of her library desk was so well-choreographed that rumor has it, it will be performed by the National Ballet of Canada next season.
