Fugs and Fabs of Why Are There So Many Gatsby Premieres


At least this one is in Sydney, which is ALWAYS good for some random fugs.

Random Fug Scrolldown: Penelope Austin


I’m not sure how else to say this except: At the Australian Star Trek premiere, this… is a thing that actually happened.

It’s like she’s wearing the break in the changing-room curtain — you know, when it doesn’t pull cleanly to the opposite wall, and someone walks by and accidentally sees you between pairs of pants. This is not a dress; it’s a snapshot of the act of getting undressed. And not for nothing, it’s REALLY SUPER FREAKY. YOUR PANTIES ARE YOUR BUSINESS.

Logies — And Historical — Fugtacular Fug Carpet: Brynne Edelsten


We have featured Brynne Edelsten before, but if you need a primer: She’s the cheerful Ameristralian (Oklahoma-born; wed to an Australian medical magnate) who overtans, underdresses, has a reality show called My Bedazzled Life, had Jason Alexander narrate her wedding DVD despite the fact that he’d never met them, and got Fran Drescher to her $3 million wedding even though she hadn’t met them either. So basically, she seems like a hoot. If she were over here on Real Housewives of Tulsa, we’d probably be rolling our eyes and screaming bloody Kardashian, yet applied to Australia’s shores something about her terrible taste becomes hilariously charming. I mean, this is a parade of TOTAL ATROCITIES, and yet also so cheerul. It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to view it and get depressed about humanity, the way most of the serious Fug Madness contenders make me feel.

Anyway, Brynne whipped out a tasty treat at the Logies again, but despite the fact that her archive on GFY is bigger than you’d expect, there’s also a ton of stuff she’s worn over the years that we haven’t shown. So here it is, a Brynne Edelsten special — a.k.a., possibly the best, tannest slideshow ever.

Fugs and… Fugs: Australia’s Logie Awards


We will cover later the scrumptious horrors of Brynne Edelsten; first, let’s see what the rest of ‘em had to offer, at one of Australia’s many fine shindigs that has all of Fug Nation’s Down Under contingent frantically Tweeting and e-mailing things like, “OMG YOU ARE GOING TO EXPLODE.”

Fugtie Price


Jessica and I often joke about those heavily edited, ellipsis-replete reviews that redact enough words to turn any sentence into something even vaguely positive, and our frequent one is that someone “has… created… a… performance.”

Katie Price… has… created… an… ad campaign.

BAFTAs Amusingly Played Carpet: Noted English Kook Paloma Faith


This dress is actually really nice.

But I swear to you, her head was on sale at a pastry cart outside Lincoln Center this morning.
