On Topic/ The Fugly Site

"Mme. Remy" <mmer...@gmail.com>
This has been the "topic de jour" on MUA's Cafe board. It's a blog where two
women rant about various fashion don'ts. It's hilarious. And also cruel.
However, I've been known to be just as cruel so I'm in no place to judge. If
you find this sort of thing funny, take a look here:
http://fuggingitup.blogspot.com/ This section (about Vanessa Paradis) made
me howl with laughter:
"And, of course, the crowning glory: the white shoes. I firmly believe that
unless you are a bride, a nurse, or Nancy Sinatra, you should not be wearing
white shoes. And you really should not be wearing them in October. And you
really, really should not be wearing them with black tights. Clearly a sign
of mental instability. (And yes, I know that contrasting tights and shoes
are chic this year, but I cling to the notion that when Vogue advocates such
a look, Vogue means, say, black tights and burgundy shoes. Or even brown
tights and pink shoes. But not the tragic black tights and horrifying white
shoes. Because, Anna Wintour, that is a path down which I will not follow
you. I'm sorry. No. No, I just can't. Stop bothering me. No. Seriously. And
while we're at it, the high–waisted pants? Not going to happen. And tell Kim
France at Lucky that I'm not buying them from her either, next time you see
her in the caf at Conde Nast.)"

I thought this was going to be about Keira Knightley's awful new 'do – lol.

Too funny, I'll have to check it out.
On the subject of the high waisted pants...my man was looking over my
shoulder as I was leafing through said Lucky mag., took a gander at the high
waisted pants pictured and said " I feel sorry for the poor woman who buys
those because she sees them here and thinks they're in fashion. They're
horrible!" Ha ha!
I know that some afers like high waisted jeans, but those pants are truly
laughable. They were up to the model's boobs! Yeah, they might make legs
look longer, but the look as a whole doesn't work (imho). Don't do it!

That's hilarious – thanks for posting it. I especially liked the
picture of JC Chasez and the comment that "if you put him in shorts,
glasses, dyed his hair blue, and had him strategically shaved", he'd
be Milhouse from the Simpsons. ROTFLMAO.

I've been reading and laughing since I saw the post. Some of those (esp the
jabs at Britney, the "Peldens" and Maggie) are priceless!
The Jennifer Lopez entry was by and far, the best though.

I always thought fugly meant fat and ugly, but their usage of fugly as
frightfully ugly is much better!
"Fugly" is a contraction of "fucking ugly". But "frightfully" is more refined.

coughed and sputtered, and managed to choke out these words:

when i was in middle school, it was the combo of 'f*cking' and
'ugly.'

Yeah, I've always heard it means fu**ing ugly, too. I've never heard it
described as meaning anything different. But people *NEVER* call me that, so
I guess I'm entirely exempt from having a say–so this conversation, aren't
I? I'm the opposite. I'm fubbeautiful.
