Sophia Bush

Our girl Sophia Bush has been out and about a lot the last couple of days, handily illustrating the thrill of sartorial victory and the agony of its defeat.

This one, I think, is a win:

Does she look like the world's sexiest referee? Maybe, although she was smart to leave her whistle at home. But she also looks sort of modern and graphic and curvy -- frankly, I think this works, although I'm concerned that her shoes are brown. Surely that's just craziness on my part, however, yes? Brown shoes would be foolishness at the level of the fact that last night's One Tree Hill involved NO MALE SHIRTLESSNESS. Considering that this is the first time that has EVER happened on that show, let's just say....I am concerned. Also, I'd like to take this moment to officially thank the OTH crew for casting Hot Hot Robert Buckley as Nathan's Generally Shirtless Troubled Manwhore Agent With a Heart of Gold and MYSTERIOUS PAST.  I'd also like to share that when I originally wrote that sentence, I accidentally left out the word "Agent," and I admit that I would also watch THAT show.

Anyway, further craziness on Sophia's part, however, is amply demonstrated by THIS:

Fug or Fab: Sophia Bush

You guys, I'm so glad One Tree Hill is back. Seriously. I miss Chad Michael Murray's squints of judgment/joy/sorrow/fear/ambivalence, but it's still juicy. Murderous grave-immolating heart-eaten-by-a-dog Dan Scott is a life coach! He's married to ex-drug addict and semi-trashy cheerleader (and former classmate of both his children) Rachel! Nathan may or may not have impregnanted a ho one night on the road with his NBA team! Robert Buckley is charming and sometimes shirtless! Jana Kramer is hilarious as a shallow movie star! Skills hasn't gone to prison yet in real life and so he's still being all awesome with little Jamie! Brooke Davis has a hot boyfriend for the first time in two years! Haley's hair color is totally wrong! Mouth is... never mind. But suffice it to say, I'm glad the secret greatest show on television is entertaining me anew.

Which is more than I can say for Sophia Bush's dress. Nice transition, eh? No? Well, too bad, so sad -- which, again, is something I might say to Sophia Bush if she asked me about this outfit.

I know that's a pretty negative intro for a Fug or Fab, but here's why the post is filed thusly: This MIGHT be very pretty. But it's hard for me to judge the dress on its own merits, because something about it is so very wrong to me on Sophia. Maybe it's the styling: Loose hair flowing into shoulder ruffle flowing into large ruffled skirt equals a whole lot of STUFF. There's no grace, no neck;  it's all shoulders and floppy bits. The judging panel of America's Next Top Model would be horrified, before complimenting her on her ability to "smize," and yes, Tyra has invented her own contraction for "smile with your eyes." I KNOW. It's only a matter of time before she buys Webster's and puts out a dictionary all her own.

Back to Sophia: I don't think the dress works in motion, either:

Fug or Fab: Sophia Bush

Everyone knows we totally think Sophia Bush is lovely and God knows we're jealous that she gets to make out with dreamy Austin Nichols on One Tree Hill, although this entire past season was FULL of terrible things happening to her including a bizarre through-line in which she quasi-adopted not one but two different children (although one of them was nearly her age, and that storyline actually turned out sort of awesome) and also spent like A LOT of time moaning about how badly she wants to be a mother, which I totally respect, but her character is TWENTY-TWO and it seems like maybe it's a little UNREALISTIC for a 22 year old multi-millionaire media mogul-ess to be SUPER worried about that. Like, you have time, honey. Go make out with Austin Nichols some more. On the other hand, this is a show in which one character has had TWO mothers die on her and was also kidnapped on prom night by a psychotic who was pretending to be her brother, and Chad Michael Murray is supposed to be brilliant author. So maybe I should not expect realism. Especially since its lack of realism generally turns into things that are AWESOME, like the time brother-killer and grave-immolator Dan bought himself a giant headstone in preparation for having his bum heart give out and kill him (which hasn't happened yet and hopefully never will), and said hilarious headstone has been trotted out numerous times to be abused by other characters, with, like, shovels, and whatnot. It's awesome. Anyway: let's talk about the relative awesomeness of this dress:

My gut instinct is that it gets a bit short there. To the point where a very inappropriate pun involving her last name popped into my head, which I will not share with you because this blog is rated PG-13. Usually. If the slit on the dress were shifted a bit to either side, I think we'd be in business, because on the whole, I think this is potentially cute. It just doesn't seem to fit her exactly right.
