Fashion // Fugly Is The New Pretty
A-list celebrities are literally rolling in money. This makes us mere mortal folk extremely jealous when we have to slave away in our shitty jobs just to scrape minimum wage.
A-list celebrities also have an impeccable fashion sense, which again makes us jealous because if we had three grand to spend on an outfit every time we went on a night out, then we’d actually look half decent when we crawled home in a drunken mess with flecks of vomit on us.
Therefore, whenever we spot stars looking like they borrowed their outfit from both their floral loving grandma and their Knex yielding nephew then we, for once, like to take the moral high ground and believe we could put a better outfit together with our meagre Primark budget.
This is where I would like to introduce gofugyourself.com; it is a genious website which mercilessly and comically rips to shreds the catastrophic mis-matches of the world’s elite and famous.
MADDOX: I am a bad-ass.
BRAD: I am homeless.
ANGIE: I sell Ouija Boards and cigarette holders at a kiosk in the mall.
Although many will proclaim they don’t secretly enjoying flicking through Reveal or Closer magazine to fish out the most horrendous outfits worn out in public by celebrities, these people that deny this fact are liars. Who doesn’t love laughing at stars humiliating themselves by proxy? So if you are one of these people mentioned above, then you no longer have to find a secret corner of W H Smith’s to hide yourself in whilst you fish out the worst outfits of the week as you can visit gofugyourself.com in the comfort of your own home, free from judging eyes to get your daily dose of the latest fashion victims and their horrific dress sense.
Go Fug Yourself has released the book The Fug Awards where the authors Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan “hand out honors such as the Sag Award for most egregious misuse of breasts and the Tanorexia Award for the person most addicted to bronzer. They prove that having an unlimited budget and a coterie of hangers-on is no barrier against committing glaring, eye-stinging sartorial missteps.”
More info on The Fug Awards here
The book is available to buy from Amazon.com/Borders, Barnes & Noble, local independent booksellers which you can locate via BookSense.com, and the publisher’s Web site SimonSays.com.

England Vs Slovenia ( A Bloke’s take)
Well yesterday saw England play another team on their way home from the World Cup. I say play-this is a bit of an exaggeration based on their last performance. It should be like watching Man U play Rotherham 3 times over with the group we got drawn with. The Algeria game put England to shame and Rooney’s comments would have gotten him a slap in any man’s company after watching his first touch turn into that of a donkey collecting his pension.
Screaming at the TV debating Capello’s tactics and team selection after 8 pints obviously did the trick though. When the squad was announced without Heskey we all breathed a sigh of relief as long as Gerrard actually stayed on the left we might just might be ok. Things were looking positive from the off – Rooney looked hungry for the ball again and Milner was having a blinder on the right. And guess what? England actually turned up and played the football the whole country knows they can! This ability is exactly why we give them so much stick when they don’t perform. After the first goal we were looking better with every pass. It’s true we should have converted more with Rooney hitting the post and their keeper making some awesome saves, but we were looking good. The last 20 minutes turned unbearable and am sure every one was considering England’s terrible luck and thought we were going home early. We needed another to put it to bed but it wasn’t forthcoming and in the end it came down to our raw passion which Terry showed when he jumped at one of their strikes like a salmon migrating up stream in the second half.
For the first 60 minutes it was like watching Argentina. And it has only just occurred to me- people never say “Blimey, it was like watching England” when they see Brazil put a performance in. And that’s for one reason… we aren’t and never have been consistent in our ability. Let’s just hope and pray that Capello and the boys can pull it together for the Germany match on Sunday. Otherwise it would appear that we have just got good enough to get sent home again.
I’m sure like me most people are now thinking “what if, just what if? We can surely do it this time round we can go all the way” –providing there are no skying penalties, no silly red cards, and no excuses. They have the skill, the squad, the support and now it would seem their passion is back so what can stop us??!!! Maybe the Germans; I DONT THINK SO.
One thing is for sure though, love it or hate it the World Cup is here to stay, for another 3 weeks anyway. COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!.
