As Fashion Week continues in New York and designers send actual trash bags down the runway while trying to convince women that it's OK to wear shiny leggings as pants (note to ladies: it is not OK, really), it seems an appropriate time to pay respects to one of the fashion world' greatest watchdogs: www.gofugyourself.com.
Go Fug Yourself is a blog written by Heather and Jessica, two young women who obsess about fashion mags and delight in ripping apart celebs who take strides outside the bounds of good sartorial taste. To that end, every day they post pictures of the rich and famous looking their absolute worst, and comment on the various faux pas while asking the tough questions. Why did Ellen Pompeo decide to wrap a bed sheet around a collar and head to the Golden Globes? Whose dead cat has found refuge on Nicolas Cage's furrowed brow? Where is the wild beast that ravaged the front of poor Sharon Stone's jacket? It goes on like this. Repeat offenders --- like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and the mother of all fuggers, Courtney Love --- get their own archives, which make for a great way to waste your boss' precious time and money.
In reward for their tireless efforts and acid tongues, The Fug Girls have been tapped by New York Magazine to cover Fashion Week for the second year in a row. Check out their excellent coverage at nymag.com.
