Well, LMFAO, congratulations, I AM laughing.
Just not with you. Nor at you, really. It’s more the beaten-down chuckle of a world-weary blogger who’s tired of the “quirky” aesthetic being wrung out like a dishrag.

VMAs Fug Party: Katy Perry
So, wait:
Is Katy Perry’s new look Don Draper’s Wacky New Secretary? It’s hilarious — not to mention busty — but somewhere Mrs Blankenship is rolling in her grave.

VMAs Fug or Fab: Ashley Rickards
Ashley Rickards here is on MTV’s new show, Awkward, which I hear is really good. And I like her a lot from when she was — as Heather noted in the live-blog — Sophia Bush’s half-adopted teen ward on One Tree Hill who was never seen or heard from again after she moved…three blocks away. I don’t remember her being so TAN on OTH, but I think this is what happens when you are on a show on MTV. At some point, you show up at the studio for a table read or whatever and then Pauly D leaps out from behind a bush and bronzer-bombs you:
Let’s talk about the outfit. The awkward thing about being on a show called Awkward is that it leaves the door wide open for dumb bloggers (so: me) to make “AWKWARD!” jokes. As well as jokes that are simply awkward, which of course pushes us all into some kind of vortex of meta. I like the color. I think the shape is good on her. I appreciate the sort of 60s vibe. I am concerned that her clavicle has missed several laser hair-removal sessions and her aesthetician is going to give her that pitying-yet-horrified look they give you when you Let Things Go Too Long, the one where it seems like they’re wondering if maybe you’re depressed and they need to intervene.

VMAs Well Played: Beyonce
3 photos in galleryFirst of all, I’d like to note that I am ENRAGED and STUNNED that Beyonce did not pull out some maternity hot pants for this event. You KNOW she thought about it.

VMAs Fug Carpet: Amber Rose
Amber Rose hasn’t been as much fun since she hooked up with Wiz Khalifa. Maybe it’s because when you’re hooking up with a dude named Wiz Khalifa, you don’t have much hope of being the more interesting one in the relationship. But seriously, would the Kanye West version of Amber Rose ever have worn this?
Yes, it’s a romper, and yes, that’s not my thing, but it’s otherwise so sedate. She looks like she’s about to star in a Russ Meyer movie about tennis. Whereas if she were still with Kanye, she’d look like she was about to star in a Russ Meyer movie about vengeful alien warlords, which is a lot more amusing for gawking purposes.
