MTV Australia Awards Fug Carpet: Charlotte Dawson

The bad news: It’s not a hallucination. This TV presenter from Down Under IS, in fact, wearing a waistcoat with a skirt that looks like it’s been tucked up into the world’s only pair of baggy footless panty-hose — and yes, those hose DO have built-in glittery leg decorations that would be more at home on the set of Xanadu: The Musical. And, tragically, she truly HAS stuffed her feet into crazy metallic slides that the costumer of Back To The Future II would have dismissed as “too ugly to be believably futuristic” right before he or she popped that urine-colored satin cape on Doc Brown.

The good news: She is only on TV in Australia. And while I admit that might not be so hot for our friends in Oz, for me and my weeping soul it’s an immense relief.
