The Frocky Horror Show
We’re only going to make a brief visit to the world of I Am Fab this week, as I’ve lost all my writing time trying to sort out technical problems. Did I mention I was using AOL? Plus ça change.
So, wondering what treat I could possibly have in store for you with only a few minutes to spare, I’ve decided to share with you my most guilty secret – I simply love a good fug.
There’s really nothing more amusing than logging on to http://www.gofugyourself.com/ to see what sartorial horrors the denizens of Hollywood are bringing us, made even more delightful by the inventive sarkiness of the Fug girls. Their commentary makes me laugh out loud.
This week, the girls are in hog heaven with the Oscars, although secretly I do believe they’re much funnier when they’re not shooting fish in a barrel. Someone’s always bound to get it horribly wrong on the red carpet. It’s the day-to-day scary moments that are truly fascinating.
If that’s not enough of a fashion frenzy for Oscar week, then hop on over to http://www.oscar.com/, where you can analyse awards style to your heart’s content by going their Red Carpet page. You’ll find photos of virtually anyone who attended the ceremony, with almost OCD-like attention to detail about what they were wearing. Did you know Nicole Kidman’s necklace was made by Mick Jagger’s girlfriend or that her makeup was by Chanel? Thought not. OK, so that level of obsessiveness is bordering on the wackadoo, as the Fug girls might say, but it sure as hell is entertaining.
We’ll be resuming normal service next week, but until then, enjoy spotting the fugs and try not to commit any of your own – unless you’re off to a 70s party like I was on the weekend. Now there’s an entire decade of fugliness that’s so bad it’s good!
