Freaky Fug Friday: Imogen Heap


freaky-fug-friday

It’s that time again! Get your pencils and blue books out, Fug Nation,  because we have an assignment for you:

THE FUGEE: Imogen Heap, talented songstress and habitual devotee of Crazywear, albeit — we suspect — because she is deliciously wacky like that, not because she doesn’t know any better. (In other words, girlfriend is more Juliette Lewis than Phoebe Price.) At the very least, you have totally heard her songs back when we were all watching The O.C.  And you’ve definitely heard her song “Hide and Seek,” as it’s sampled in that Derulo song, “Watcha Say,’ which is all over the radio tubes and television waves. 

THE DETAILS:
La Heap is performing at Webster Hall in NYC. I presume it is not named after Emmanuel Lewis, but one never can tell.

THE CHALLENGE
: This week, we’re asking you to put your poetry muscles to the test once again, and write a cinquain. A cinquain is an unrhymed poem of five lines — hence the name — and this one should be formatted thusly:

  • Line 1: one word
  • Line 2: two words
  • Line 3: three words
  • Line 4: four words
  • Line 5: one word

You can read more about the various kinds of cinquains — there are many — thanks to the good people at Wikipedia.

THE RULES:
All entries must be posted in the comments section of this entry — not
e-mailed — by 10 p.m. Sunday night. From there, we’ll choose a small selection of favorites, and you the people will vote on the very best. Democracy!

    Poof, feathers, leggings
    Is that an IV?
    Blue.

  446. SmR

    Only
    the leggings
    make me doubt
    that you do know
    better.

  447. SmR

    Deliciously
    crazy, but
    the leggings scream
    ‘fashion victim!’ (Well, also-
    Crocs.)

  448. SmR

    Blue
    undersea look
    makes me wonder
    did she use hairdryer
    underwater?

  449. Jennifer Y.

    What?!?
    You look
    Deranged in that
    Dress with bonus (confusing)
    IVs.
