Fug File: ComicCon

Played, Robert Downey Jr.


Our bottomless love for Robert Downey Jr. is well-documented. I will pretty much watch him do anything. He could star in a movie called A Two-Hour Showcase of Heather’s Greatest Phobias and I would still find a way to go see it, most likely by making someone I love go first and take copious timecoded notes on when I could open my eyes. And he’s actually generally quite dapper, and his wife seems nice and stabilizing, so… this isn’t a fug so much as an observation.

Increasingly, something about RDJ lately makes me think he’s starting to look more like an RDJ impersonator.

Fug or Fab: Rachael Taylor


I hope 666 Park Avenue does well; I like Rachael Taylor here a lot (she was the only person who seemed like she was trying in the Charlie’s Angels reboot), and who DOESN’T want to see Vanessa Williams and Terry O’Quinn as a couple who may be either in thrall to Satan OR actually Satan and his bride? Because I know that I do. And I think I like this outfit, too:

I WANT that top — you KNOW how I feel about sequins but I also have an obsession with navy blue — and I have a well-documented weakness for Wacky Pants. This is kind of Quirky Dinner Party Chic, and there is NOTHING I like more than a Quirky Dinner Party. So I’m finding myself voting with the Yays! here. How about you?

Also: Yes, I know it's not actually YAYS and NAYS, I just think "YAY" sounds more enthusiastic.

Fug or Fab: Karen Gillan


This is where I confess that I do not, I have never, and I do not plan to watch Doctor Who and everyone flips her wig:

I am SURE it is good and I BELIEVE that you love it, but it’s just not my ball of wax. I also find it distracting that the current Doctor, Matt Smith, has no eyebrows. I worry I would spend each and every episode staring at the geography of his forehead. But I know you love him and I want the best for you guys. And all of that is why I am pleased to say that I think this is actually really cute on Doctor Who ingenue Karen Gillan. Seriously, is there a more appropriate top for ComicCon?

Well?

I am SO relieved that Broadway’s finally found its lead for that all-singing, all-dancing, all-female reboot of Wall Street they’re doing.

Unfug It Up: Emilie de Ravin


At first I thought Emilie de Ravin here played Sleeping Beauty on Once Upon A Time, so I was all ready with my cracks about how “sleep” was the operative word because this outfit was giving me narcoleptic fits. But then I did my homework and she is actually Belle, so I can still write a totally hacky introduction intimating that if she is the beauty, then perhaps this outfit is THE BEAST:

Let’s break this into pieces, which should be easy, as there is basically nothing holding this outfit together except basic physics. I don’t mind the cardigan, if it were with, say, a simple tank and skinny jeans. It doesn’t play well with the shoes, which are otherwise cute. The blouse is a dowdy transparent disaster that washes her out, and somehow, everything together looks wickedly inexpensive — like she expected to get mauled by Lost fans and ripped apart at the seams, so she just brought a hundred-dollar bill into Forever 21, closed that sucker down, and went on a rampage.

let’s zoom in

Fug or Fab: Ginnifer Goodwin


Sigh:

I am so distracted by her constant and unvarying BitchFace that I can’t even look at the dress.

So, enlighten me:
