Lemonfugs.com: The Up And Up on Outerwear

Of course Aretha Franklin showed up in a crazy/awesome coat two hours AFTER we turned in this column about the good and the bad of winter bundling. OF COURSE.

We once fondly remembered Alia Shawkat as Maeby Fumke from "Arrested Development" ... but she's burned on our brains now as Girl Who Made a Poncho Out of Her Car's Floor Mats.

If you want to check out the rest of our seasonal Dos and Don'ts, with celebrity visual aids, check out the full piece on Lemondrop.com.

Lemonfug.com: Bests and Worsts from the 'Glamour' gala

This week, for the folks over at Lemondrop.com, we picked out a few (very few) pretty things and some screw-ups from the Women of the Year awards hosted by Glamour magazine. It was surprisingly hard to find stuff we liked, but two people made the cut; as for who we didn't like..

Regardless of your gestational situation, the general public should never be able to trace the contours of your belly button at an event involving heads of state. Or even the head of the PTA.

O, sweet mystery! Click here to read the full piece and find out whom we scolded.

Lemondrop: Sexy Halloween Dos and Don'ts From the Stars

Look. We all know that celebrities LOVE Halloween, because many of them subsist wholly on Red Bull and attention, and what better way to get some attention than by going out dressed like a....well, Sexy Whatever. Am I right? This week, for Lemondrop.com, we examine how to get your own Halloween skank on without actually looking...you know, super skanky. To wit: do not do as Paris Hilton does:

"La Hilton's insane Halloween ensemble from 2005 is the poster outfit for OH MY GOD NO. For one thing, bunnies don't wear lingerie, unless they are on Hugh Hefner's payroll. For another, WE CAN SEE HER BIRTH-CONTROL PATCH."

So, what we're saying is, if you've decided to use Halloween as an excuse to look extra sexxxy this year (no judgment: we've been there), take some hints from the likes of Ms Hilton and the rest of the poor sad fools profiled herein. SAY NO TO FLAUNTING YOUR PATCH.

Lemondrop: The Best Makeovers of Fall TV (and People Who Still Need One)

You know the drill: Your favorite show comes back from the summer break and OMG WHAT DID SHE DO TO HER HAIR? (That was us, upon seeing poor Haley on One Tree Hill, and her new awkward hair color.) This week on Lemondrop.com, we examine the good, the bad, and the ugly of fall TV's makeovers...or lack thereof:

"We would, however, like to give Miss Tyra a high-five for her new, darker hair. After suffering through cycles of Top Model in which (a) she spent 13 episodes wearing a Bret Michaels-style bandanna, (b) her wig was consistently crooked, (c) her hair had a strange yellow stripe, or (d) her weave was teased up higher than a girl's bangs in 1985, it's refreshing to turn on ANTM and think, Damn, Tyra looks HOT."

Seriously, Tyra has been looking AWESOME lately. It's like, in 86ing Paulina, she magically absorbed some of Paulina's hotness. Well done, lady. Who else made the list? Read the rest of the column here.

Lemondrop.com: How to Stand Out In a Crowd

Or, lessons learned by immersing ourselves in the Emmys for an entire week, to the point where we feel as if we directed the telecast ourselves. What have we learned? Other than that Neil Patrick Harris is awesome, and "Jon Hamm" anagrams to....nothing beyond "Jon Hamm." Henceforth he shall be known as THE UNANAGRAMABLE.

Oh, right, lessons:

"Don't bore everyone to tears. Conversely, there's poor Elisabeth Moss. She was nominated, at long last, for her role as Peggy on Mad Men": a prim girl who's been dowdy, chubby and secretly pregnant, although the actress herself is none of those things. (We assume. We did not check her uterus.)"

Another good lesson is not to go around checking people's uterii. The contents are none of your business! Use your Friday workday afternoon productively by reading the rest of the article at Lemondrop.com.

Lemondrop.com: Soap Star Fashion

Wondering what to wear if, as in the case of one Ms Erica Kane Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Montgomery Montgomery Marrick Marrick Marrick Mongomery, you:

"...have been married twelve times -- many of them invalid -- and been to prison twice, kidnapped by Latin American terrorists, became disfigured in a car accident, and had an abortion that magically came back to life thirty years later."?

Have we ever let you down? Check out our latest column on Lemondrop about soapy situations and the outfits they led to at this past week's Daytime Emmys. If you're not in the middle of throwing someone down a mineshaft or impersonating your twin sister so as to steal her baby and sell it to mobsters to pay off your drug debts, that is. That could take awhile.

Lemonfug.com: The Fug Girls' Guide To Being A Famewhore

I'll give you one guess as to which odious couple inspired us to write this handy-dandy primer.

But although Spencer and Heidi are the most virulent famewhores among us, they're not the only ones who offer us all very instructive examples so that everyone can strive to become as famous as possible for doing as little as possible:

"[Y]ou don't need GOOD taste in men: If there's an available dude of any repute at all, even if he's in the middle of a mid-life crisis in which he wears only Ed Hardy shirts and flip-flops while neglecting his houseful of children, POUNCE."

You can probably guess about whom we're talking here. Click here to drop by Lemondrop.com and read the rest of the piece. Unless you are Kim Kardashian, in which case, you might not love what we have to say.
