Fug or Fab: The Sisters Michalka

Jun 9, 2011 By Heather AT 1:00 pm

Fug Nation has been talking a lot lately about the Peldons, and how much we miss them. The Michalkas are not quite a substitute — they are almost too famous, even though to many of you they are still not famous at all — but they are at least enjoyably dramatic.

I mean, A.J. up there is trying to be normal, posing in her actually sort of cute blue and white dress, and Aly is all, “Why HELLO SAILOR Dig my daisy chain?” I’m not even sure her dress is that bad either; it’s just how hard she’s working to sell it.

MTV Movie Awards Fug Carpet: Aly Michalka

Jun 7, 2011 By Jessica AT 8:00 am

Now that Hellcats has been put out of its misery, Aly Michalka — or, as our friend Carrie refers to her, The Michalka — looks forward to her next gig:

Spokesmodel for Bed, Bath, and Beyond’s new Greek Goddess-themed web-series, in which she wanders around Mount Olympus, making outfits from items found in Bed and searching desperately for Beyond.

People’s Choice Awards Fug Carpet: Aly and AJ Michalka

Jan 6, 2011 By Heather AT 10:00 am

God bless the Michalkas. If only Aly hadn’t tasted the success of Hellcats and Easy A, then these two girls would be in the running to replace the gone-but-not-forgotten Peldons as our favorite sibling duo. Seriously, are these kids at the People’s Choice Awards, or are they about to get up on-stage in Vegas at a nightclub called The Shimmer Tank and do a whiskey-sodden, smoky medley of Mandrell Sisters hits?

Unfortunately, believe it or not, a CW show (for Aly, on the left) and being in Seabiscuit (for AJ, on the right) automatically make them too employed to be Peldons. But there are echoes there. Like the kid in The Sixth Sense, I see Peldon People: Courtney could as easily be wearing Aly’s corset-jacket with semi-detached ice-skating sleeves (perfect for wistful reaching into middle distance during instrumental versions of Broadway songs), and my mind’s eye sees Brown sitting up late at night stuffing those giant sleeves with tissue paper and then spritzing them with hair spray to see if they hold their shape, glue-gunning the beads to her mesh waist basket just-so, and losing sleep over whether the neckline looks enough like an adorable inside-out homage to a priest’s collar. Oh, I miss those girls. They knew how to shop the hell out of those EVERYTHING UNDER $5 stores that are knocking off the places that knock off the stuff that Forever 21 is knocking off first.

And so I am at a crossroads: Do I root for them to climb out of their My Paycheck Is Not Big Enough For A Stylist But I Can Still Do Some Serious Damage At The Burbank Media Center Mall, or pray that they stay the course and end up marooned on Peldon Island? I think you all know the answer. Because life just isn’t the same when it’s 9 a.m. and I’m not screaming for Intern George to make me a gin martini.

Fug or Fab: AJ Michalka

Oct 12, 2010 By Jessica AT 2:00 pm

I have a whole new appreciation for the Michalkas after having just mainlined five episodes of Hellcats in a row. Seriously, that show is SO ENTERTAINING — and Aly Michalka (in other words, not THIS Michalka) is totally good on it. Although maybe not as good as Ashley Tisdale. Anyway, it’s totally enjoyable, which is a feat made all the more impressive thanks to the fact that its male cast mostly consists of a bunch of people you know from other teen dramas on the CW and by “other teen dramas,” I mean One Tree Hill, and one of them played a psychotic stalker who pretended to be Peyton’s long-lost brother but who actually ended up kidnapping her and imprisoning her in her basement on prom night and on this show he’s kind of the rakish townie charmer and it actually works. So, anyway, Hellcats is fab. But what about Aly’s sister AJ? WHAT ABOUT HER I ASK YOU?

Too ruffly? Just ruffled enough? Not enough ruffles? Too tulle-y? Not tulle-y enough? Just enough tulle? (Insert “tulle time” or “tulle academy” or “tulle shed” joke here — also, the more I type “tulle,” the less meaning “tulle” has. TULLE. I feel like the word is inching ever closer to being the name of a character on something like Hellcats. Meet the squad’s newest member, TULLE MALONEY! Right? Wow, I need to move on here.)

If you’ve ever wondered what to wear when your sister is on a hit WB show — er, did I just refer to the channel that airs Hellcats as, “The WB?” That’s some good branding, Warner Brothers — and you’re in a movie about horses, AJ Michalka is here to help:

In fact, this outfit specifically says,”I’M THE ONE IN A MOVIE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRESSED IN A VAGUELY EQUESTRIAN MANNER. BUT SEXY.” All I want to know it, is Aly wandering around somewhere in a pleated skirt, holding pompoms?
