Fug File: Pink

Fugs and Fabs: The Pink Party


The Pink Party is an annual event benefiting the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Program, which is an excellent cause, and which is why so many of these women are wearing, yes, pink. Let’s take a look at everyone’s wardrobe choices, shall we?

Who Fugged ‘Em More: Elisabeth Moss vs. January Jones


The first news is that Elisabeth Moss has scrapped the blonde.

I actually miss it, although I suspect it’s because Peggy Olsen has not yet discovered peroxide. But maybe what’s holding her back here, for me, is the fact that her makeup seems to belong with a totally different outfit. As do her shorts, which are so nondescript and tiresome. She’s, like, jazz hands on the top and gym rat on the bottom. I wish I could’ve seen the blazer and bright shirt with a skinny pant, or stylized tuxedo trouser. But if she had her heart set on formal shorts, I think she needed more interesting shoes with them. You need to SELL those suckers. To put this in terms Peggy would appreciate, those shorts are baked beans. You need to trick people into thinking they’re a delicious idea.

January Jones also went with formal shorts:

Well Played, Emma Stone


That last slideshow made my soul microwave itself. I figured six consecutive slides in which I became increasingly frustrated was easier to swallow than six posts, but still. I don’t know if Emma Stone is just washing that grey right out of my hair, or if this is great on its own merits.

The sleeves are bunching up weirdly at her elbows, like an excess of cellophane, but the color is lively on her and she’s carrying it off beautifully, and she threw in a houndstooth shoe, which is the perfect splash of activity. What’s more, for some reason the collar and the whole charmingly demure vibe are giving me Annie flashbacks, and that is a great place to be. Okay, so she was an orphan and living in squalor, but she had pluck! And surprisingly competent dental care considering you know Miss Hannigan just handed Mr. Bundles a quarter, a toothpick, a ball-peen  hammer, and a flashlight, and told him to do his best. Sigh. Where were we again? Oh right: I like this.

Mostly Well Played, Kate Beckinsale


Can there be anything more depressing than when you’re stuck doing lengthy promo tours for a movie that came out to a resounding “meh”? Well, strike that –there are a lot of things more depressing than that. Too many to list. But you feel where I’m going. It’s a good thing these people are actors, is what I’m saying, because I’m sure by Foreign City #6 the jet lag takes over and you just want to cry and say, “Fine, OKAY, this is totally average and you should just go see Moonrise Kingdom instead, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY?!?” Instead, they paste on a grin and maybe wear a bright color to try and enliven the trip. I’m pretty sure I like this, with just one shard of doubt stabbing into my ribcage. Let’s discuss.

The Fug of Glory


Just in case you were wondering…

… Lady Gaga is now dressing like an ottoman in Paris Hilton’s walk-in closet.

Unfug It Up: Jessica Biel


Y’all are going to know EXACTLY where I’m going with this almost immediately.

I am going to a wretched old town called Stumpville, where the trees have been hacked down, the barstools are all too low, and nobody has any knees. Seriously, though, I know I bang on about this, but this particular length does her no favors. Go up, go down, a little or a lot, but abandon hope all ye who enter precisely here. The giant pockets are a touch cutesy for me, too, although they do at least provide some interest. Her waist looks appropriately tiny. And… wait a minute, does her chest have cups? ACTUAL cups, not just of the bra variety?
