Fugger: Tyra Banks

America’s Next…I Don’t Even Know


I know at least one of you watched this happen on GMA this morning:

And can therefore explain to me why TyTy Baby is dressed like the cast of Newsies mashed up with Xanadu. All I know is, if this is her schtick for the next cycle of ANTM, I am EVEN MORE IN than usual.

Oh, Tyra. We know you were/are in business school.

You don’t need to work so hard to prove it. Actually, you’re kind of hurting the cause a little, because I’m pretty sure there isn’t actually a class called “The Economics of Being Brenda Walsh.”

CW Upfront’s Fugs and Fabs


Let me just say right now that if something bad were ever to happen to the CW, Heather and I would be bereft. I only watch, like, EVERYTHING on there. ABC Family, as Heather pointed out to me last night whilst we discussed this, can only do so much. If nothing else, there are so many hot young things currently employed by the CW that I can’t help but hope that it, to borrow a phrase, has to be too big to fail. LET’S NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THIS HYPOTHETICAL POSSIBILITY. Instead, let’s look at outfits:

Fug Madness 2011, Round One: Madonna Bracket


FIRST, some housekeeping: Some of you are having issues with the polls working correctly! Please know that our tech dudes are working on it, but we have stumbled upon something that may help, if you find the polls coming up “closed” or if they seem to think you have already voted and you haven’t: apparently, if you comment on the post, the system will then let you vote? Clearly this is a bug, and we promise we’re at work on it, BUT that might work while we’re waiting. Plus, don’t you want to talk anyway? YOU KNOW YOU DO. ANYWAY: hopefully, you will have no technical problems as you vote on THE FOLLOWING:

(6) FLORENCE WELCH v. (11) KRISTEN STEWART

Don’t ask me why we weren’t paying closer attention to Florence Welch — or, as I’ve started thinking of her, FloWel (Flow Well?) — throughout the year. Because she is a CONTENDER:

A contender who never met a sheer overskirt that she didn’t fall MADLY in love with. Don’t believe me?

YOU SHOULD:

America’s Next Fug Model


So, as you may have heard, Tyra Banks is in business school at Harvard. Accordingly — I assume — she popped by the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.

Very appropriate, right? A blazer, necklace, nothing terribly crazy, no Andre Leon Talley in a cape. Is it too good to be true?

Isn’t it always?

America’s Next Fug Model: The Tyra So Far


I’m not sure Tyra Banks can ever top the season of Top Model in which she wore a different heinous jumpsuit every week. That was a remarkable achievement in fuggery, for which she might have earned herself a mighty Fug Madness seed. It remains to be seen. But that doesn’t mean ANTM won’t offer its share of fashion crimes; before fresh material comes via tonight’s new episode, I thought I’d catch you up on what Tyra’s worn so far — and what Andre Leon Talley apparently plans to wear every WEEK. Bless.
