Wow. It’s like… a suit cocoon.
It’s a sleek planet indeed whose alien beings hatch out of lapels.

BAFTA Awards Wah-Waaah Carpet: SWINTON
Man, usually people save the best for last. And when SWINTON busted out a big gun at the Golden Globes, we were so excited at where that meant the lunacy would end up come Oscar time.
Instead, she’s been dressing like a woman who is really not all that excited to be attending her own third and fourth weddings.

SAG Awards SAD Carpet: SWINTON
I am worried about SWINTON:
This is so staid. Almost NORMAL. Even…BORING. Where is the delicious wacktacularity, the delightful weirdness, the glorious Bowie-esque bad-assery we’ve come to expect from SWINTON? She looks less like SWINTON and more like swinton. I’m seriously concerned. Can someone go over to the Bel Air Hotel — actually, what am I saying? SWINTON surely stays in some fantastic post-modern glass treehouse in the backyard of, like, a Cal-Tech rocket scientist/conceptual artists with whom she once spent a glorious naked weekend in the Maldives. Regardless, can someone go over there and make sure she’s not running a fever? Because something is amiss.

Golden Globes Well Played Carpet/SWINTONly Played Other Carpets: SWINTON
3 photos in galleryIt seems only fitting that our first post in what will be exhaustive/ing Globes coverage is the High Priestess of Fabufuggery. Personally, I unironically and unabashedly love the hell out of this dramatic suit — I want her to wear it to a wedding at which her salacious affair with the groom will be revealed, or to a press conference where it’s revealed she is David Bowie’s sister — but the other stuff she trotted out this weekend was more SWINTONIAN in its boxy starkness, the kind of thing we either love without reason or dislike with great affection. Join hands as we plunge into the SWINTON vortex.

We Need To Talk About SWINTON
I’m running out of headline options for her: If I were to pull our usual “fug” word switcheroo with her, I think half of Fug Nation would rise up and unseat me, and I am WAY too lazy to go find another chair.
