Fug Takes Time


Somebody please tell Mariah Carey that if you can’t decide which stretchy, shiny fabric to wear, the solution is not to wear both. She looks like one of those badly decorated hotel rooms with aggressively pastel fabrics and nondescript “soothing” artwork on the walls. That, or the decor of the downstairs cocktail lounge at Sweet Harmony Castle For Retired Persons somewhere in southern Florida. Old Jim-Bob’s heart condition is not going to like that neckline.

    Ugh ~ the shoes are killing me! They are much worse than the dress!

  2. Grimmer

    Her dress appears to be made of the same kind of plastic her breasts are made of. cute, saccharine, smarmy, bland beyond all belief. where’s Billy Holiday when you need her.

  3. Shawna

    The dress is ugly, sure. It looks like she left the house in her little sister’s clearance rack robe. What’s really bothering me, however, are the shoes. I cannot even articulate all the issues I have with the shoes.

    Am I missing something here? That just looks like one big stretchy piece of gaudy bed linen wrapped hapharzadly around her with knots in various places to give the effect of an actual outfit.

    I think she’s trying to accentuate her hourglass figure a little TOO much.

    Tragic. If you’re going to wear sandals, wear sandals. If you’re going to wear shoes, wear shoes. But sandals with…what IS that thing, a protective flap for your instep? There’s almost as much leather going on there as a real, grown-up pair of shoes. Shoot the designer. Don’t even get me started on the shower curtain she’s sporting. She’s just insane.

  6. Shawna

    …And you just KNOW that’s her cigarette on the ground.

    Mariah never waves at the paparazzi. She was caught smoking (the dress is a SMOKING JACKET! Oh, I get it now!), went to wave to everyone and dropped it.

    “HIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Um… HIiiiiiiiiii! How are you guys today? I’m just out wandering around, you know, taking in the sights, meeting my peeps… Hiiiiiiii!”

    I’m with Shawna. I’m going to need therapy after seeing those shoes. They’re heinous. The upside is that unlike most female celebs, she doesn’t have the horrid “toe sparwal” out the front of the shoe. Why in the HELL do celebs do that? Get the next size up bitch! Damn! Anyway. The dress is questionable. The shoes are downright wrong. Her album is THE BOMB.

  8. fashmags

    Is that her cigarette next to those VILE shoes? The dress could be re-worked to not be so awful, but those shoes are are an absolute crime.

  9. maddie

    okay, so the fabric is not the greatest, but really though. is it just me, or is it a slow day in fugly-ville?

    and I think the cut of the dress is great.

  10. Justine

    The shoes *might* work with an entirely different outfit. And certainly not with that awful Versace-on-xanax dress she is wearing.

  11. GRETCHEN

    Hello to all “Sparkle Heart Iridescent Tranny” lovers!
    Just the first glimpse of the amazing new line “S.H.I.T” that is inspired by Mariah Carrey. If you love butterflies and rainbows, and fluffers this is the line for you. Each Piece of the “S.H.I.T.” collection comes with a matching merkin and a special pocket for your Prozac! All the voices in your head will love the sparkle mermaid-idness of each outfit. This dress even comes with a matching kimono for when you really just want to lay in a hospital bed and watch the little mermaid for like a week cause you so tired from glue gunning rhinestones all over your dog, that you just need to chill. If you want to say to the world I am a crazy beautiful buttercup, with money and weed to burn, “S.H.I.T” is for you, and don’t be afraid to wear your Huaraches…..with everything.

    Love and Butterflies Bitches!

  12. carpedog

    again, I am caught by the scroll down fug

  13. Sassy

    Gretchen, that is so funny! “S.H.I.T.” I love it!

  14. janine

    I can’t place it, but I swear I’ve seen someone else in that dress and it wasn’t fugly. I want to say Mandy Moore…

  15. Kat

    Mariah? Or should I say-Mimi? Please take off those shoes. Now.

  16. Jen Dangergirl

    I know things aren’t supposed to be so matchy-matchy nowadays, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere. Really.

    The shoes really do make the outfit though. Not only are they painfully ugly, they don’t match the dress at all.

  17. MsHellion

    Those shoes make her look like a hooker hobbit. Lord of the Blings.

  18. Noa Body

    The dress is bad, it looks like she sewed together the window treatment from a hospital room, but it doesn’t compare to the shoes. Oh my lord those are hideous. Sparticus is going to be pissed when he finds them gone.

  19. Lida

    Hmm, I’m torn. She gets major bonus points from me for covering up all her girly bits *for once* and FINALLY picking a style and length of dress is very slimming and flattering on her. I think it’s all one dress, and it’s just ugly. After seeing her closet on Cribs, I have no doubt that she has this dress is 5 other colors, so maybe there is hope.

    The shoes, however, are TRAGIC, and there is really no excuse for them.

  20. zoe

    I’m fairly certain I saw Julie, the activities director, wearing this on a re-run of “Love Boat.”

  21. abner

    the dress is all one piece of fabric. and mariah’s breasts look good in blue.

  22. Bis Nation

    The dress reminds me of an interesting oriental inspired print that was put onto a shower current and then taken down to make this dress. Parts of it are cute, but together, as one dress, it’s. just. not.

    And sadly, I kinda like the shoes. Not with this dress, but with the right beachy kind of outfit, they could be cute… Maybe…

  23. BB

    I agree–I actually think the shoes are all about context. With this hideous dress, they look hideous. With a sleek all-black outfit or a solid red dress, they could look great. I bet Nicole Kidman or Scarlett Johannson would totally rock those shoes.

    The trick would be to keep the rest of the outfit simple–clean lines, bold color–and a color that totally clashes with the shoes!

  24. Fabulous Armand

    Eco-warrior Mariah demonstrates another reason not to throw away the wrapping paper.

  25. BB

    I meant to say: NOT a color that totally clashes with the shoes. Typo!

  26. Esther

    Way too much shine going on, but on the plus side, I’m blind now, so I don’t have to look at those ugly ass shoes.

    Mimi should also consider fake tanning *all* of her body, not just her face and breasticles.

  27. Erin

    Where does one put your bra when you wear something like that?

  28. pierre etoile

    “She was caught smoking”

    She was even caught red-handed.

  29. Shannon

    Actually, I saw a picture of Keri Russell in that dress and I thought it was cute. Although, I wondered if it just looked good on her. Now I know the truth.

  30. Rocket

    Jeez, that’s the same Diane von Furstenberg dress that Neiman’s was hawking in their latest catalog for something like $300. I knew something wasn’t right with the shoulders/neckline, but now the fabric wrongness really comes into view. DvF is slipping.

  31. Texasexile

    Yet more evidence that Mimi just ain’t right in the head. Whatever made her think that those godawful shoes went with that equally heinous dress? The only explanation I have is that over time, the combination of peroxide and hair relaxer coupled with the lack of blood circulationg because of her cooch choking pants has caused some major brain damage.

  32. jle

    hooker hobbit: brilliant. and true.

    thankfully, when the hotel she’s staying in finds out she ripped off their shower curtain and tries to kill her, she can use her breasts as flotation devices.

  33. Erin

    I actually like the shoes. As a big-boobed girl myself, I would like to take Mariah aside and tell her that certain styles were not made for *us*. I don’t care home much silicone you got up in ‘em, we big-boobed girls need support. Otherwise we look whorish.

    Repeat after me Mimi: “Halters, strapless, and cut-away boobage doesn’t work for me”.

  34. Catherine

    She’s really starting to look like she’s made of vinyl, and the shiny-ness of that dress can be seen from space. Shoes: HATE. Love the shades. Every day is Pretty Princess Dress-up Day for Miss Butterfly, ain’t it?
