Fugger: Isabel Lucas

Fugabel Lucas


Look, I don’t know for sure:

But I feel like it’s VERY UNLIKELY that Isabel Lucas came in and said to her Hair and Face Team, “tonight, I’m really feeling, like, Manson Family about two weeks before the shit really hits the fan. Can we make that happen? Awwwesome.” And yet that is where we have ended up.

Freaky Fug Friday: Now With A Prize


Well, it’s almost Christmas, and in the spirit of giving, we here at GFY have a wee prize to attach to this week’s Freaky Fug Friday — the type of thing where, if you win it and you’ve already got it or you aren’t into it, somebody you know WILL be, and thus it will make a lovely holiday gift for the person in your life who likes Mad Men, and illustrations, and humor (and really, what’s not to love about all those?). Yes, ladies and gents, the prize is a copy of Mad Men: The Illustrated World, by Dyna Moe, the awesomeness of whose name cannot be overlooked. You might recognize Dyna’s work from that time everybody and their mother was making Mad Men avatars for themselves and then using them as Facebook profile photos.

Anyway, to win, you just have to enter Freaky Fug Friday and be voted to victory by Fug Nation. Easy! Except, not, because y’all are freaky-good at these little assignments. This one is a toughie, but I think it will be fun. Ready? Go:

THE SUBJECT: Isabel Lucas, actress and strong candidate for Fug Madness.

THE SITUATION: She was apparently meeting a friend for lunch in Los Feliz, although why that called for trotting out one of Melinda Gordon’s nightgowns from season one of Ghost Whisperer is beyond me.

THE TASK: Since Jessica and I keep talking about how this almost looks like a novel cover, maybe a new print of a classic, your assignment is to imagine that it IS a novel cover. Name the novel, and write its cover blurb — it can be a kicky tagline or a punchy plot synopsis akin to a back-cover blurb. But keep it to just a few sentences, in the interests of keeping your sanity intact.

THE RULES: All entries must be posted in the comments of this post by 9 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday. A reminder: To comment, you scroll up and click on the little talk bubble, and it zips you to the comments section (we are working on another more prominent link to comments, but for now this is what we’ve got); or click on the title of this post and then when the new page loads, scroll all the way down to the bottom.

THE CONCLUSION: Have fun! We hope the winner will be very happy with his/her beautiful Mad Men book. It really is a gem even if you’re not a superfan of the show.

Who Fugged It More (Or Less): Isabel Lucas vs Angela Lindvall


We are becoming pedi-centric here at GFY this week: First Chloe Sevigny’s shoes were in the leadoff spot in a post about her, and now we have this pair, worn slightly differently but to the same event by — respectively — Isabel Lucas and Angela Lindvall.

And yes, you’re not mistaken: The heel is modeled after a deer leg**. They’re Louis Vuitton, hot off the Spring 2011 runway,  but unfortunately I don’t find them graceful and sprightly (a la that professional frolicker Bambi) so much as wonkus and terribly uncomfortable-looking. It draws my attention, too, to the level of foot squish we’re seeing in this minimalist shoe, and then I start to wonder about blisters and chafing, and THAT is some sexy imagery, let me tell you.  ** Apparently it’s actually a giraffe leg, which does at least explain why they don’t evoke Bambi for me, and also, makes me lament the lack of famous giraffes.

Let’s look at what each woman paired them with, beginning with Lindvall:

She is no deer in the headlights

I’m Scared: Isabel Lucas


So, Isabel Lucas has been out and about a lot lately and I think I’ve finally figured out what her stylist is doing:

She’s working a Teen Girl in a Lois Duncan Book look. Not the heroine, but rather the 1970s-era student who, at first glance, appears to be beautiful, cool, and confident — but then later turns out to be, you know, like a psychotic firestarter devil-worshipper. Can’t you just see this whole look – facial expression included — on the cover of a tattered, laminated paperback that you checked out of the library one summer when it was like 200 degrees out, and which you then read all in one go, sitting in the armchair in front of the AC vent and eating a series of Popsicles? I hate to break it to Isabel, but Sexy 70s Cut-Offs Wearing Firestarter RARELY makes it out of the end of those books in good shape. Just a word to the wise.

I don’t know what Isabel Lucas has been up to lately:

But given her outfits recently, I’m beginning to think that the last two weeks have been a live-action performance-art experiment in which she’s attempting to live as the Nerdy Before Montage in a teen movie. Which means, of course, that NEXT week she’s going to show up places looking super styled and beautifully coiffed and people’s mouths will drop open, and they’ll gasp things like, “why, Miss Lucas! You’re BEAUTIFUL,” and “my GOD. She IS All That!” and then we’ll all slow clap. That will be fun. I’ve been practicing my slow clap for years.
