Fug Madness 2008: Madonna, Round Two, Continued
(1) VICTORIA "POSH SPICE" BECKHAM vs. (9) JOSS STONE
These two people are very, very different. One of them is famous for having singing talent, loves wearing loose, floaty clothing, often looks sort of dirty and sticky, and would rather go barefoot and contract any NUMBER of foot fungi than stick a toe in a pair of shoes.
The other is famous for having very little singing talent, loves being squeezed into things that crack her ribs and push the air out of her lungs as much as humanly possible, often looks orange, and -- as witnessed on her fabulous reality special, in which she got pulled over by the cops for speeding while wearing driving flats and quickly changed into stilettos before the police officer asked her to step out of the car -- would rather die than be seen in anything but four-inch heels:
Also, I suspect Posh is a huge basketball fan. Just a hunch.
(4) KATE MOSS vs. (5) SIENNA MILLER
This is another one of those clashes we yearn for in real life. The dudes out there probably wish it could be on a rainy day at Glastonbury, which is essentially like mud-wrestling. But we'd rather see these two crappelgangers catfight their way into a lily pond, pulling out each other's hair and shrieking creative insults into each other's ears before gnawing them off in a rage.
See, essentially, everyone's been accusing Sienna of biting Kate's style. You be the judge:
What are those haters thinking? Clearly Sienna is copying Peter Pan.
But assuming she's trying to be a mini-Moss, almost down to the thigh muscle, it becomes a question of whether it's worse to be Sienna -- who is aping this ragtag aesthetic -- or to be Kate, who not only insists she came up with the whole terrible idea first but clings to it as her trademark. In more existential terms, if a tree falls in the forest and only Kate Moss is there to hear it, will Sienna show up in a week claiming the sound of the tree's pain is forcing her to crawl down the neck of a whiskey bottle with Rhys Ifans? Would we even HAVE a Sienna if there was no Kate? And whom do we blame MORE for all of that?

Wow. This was tough. I actually went with Moss, only because I think, maybe Sienna pulls it off better... no? maybe not? ugh, i still am not sure I made the right choice... I keep picturing Moss in those short shorts and a leather moto jacket, and Sienna as the bringer of the leggings to America... how do you vote for that!? Good luck, kids.
Posted by: Megan | Mar 25, 2008 12:05:02 PM
Posh and Miller all the way. Not even a contest.
Posted by: Ellie | Mar 25, 2008 12:05:46 PM
It's mind boggling that both Sienna and Kate are considered fashion icons. Yicky. That being said, Sienna gets my vote for copying Kate but doing it in an even fuglier way. That takes dedication. Dedication to fug.
The Posh/Joss Stone match up is more difficult than I thought it'd be, but I think I'll take Posh for body of work. She did often looked better than her compadres back in the day (Scary was very... well, scary), but that didn't mean she wasn't fugalicious. Plus, Joss Stone can actually sing.
Posted by: Kristin 18 | Mar 25, 2008 12:06:51 PM
I chose posh because- dear god, she doesn't even look HUMAN. She starts with awful and then goes with it. At least Joss is just trying to look a little different...
as for Posh and Sienna- Sienna. Posh is bad, but Sienna is just a sheeple, copying Posh to make herself feel fashionable. Doesn't even have the guts to look awful off her own bat.
Posted by: Caitlin | Mar 25, 2008 12:08:53 PM
I can never forgive Miller for the fugging shoe ankle-straps OVER jeans thing.
Posted by: kittynation | Mar 25, 2008 12:09:06 PM
I worship Posh. I envy Posh (who doesn't - mmm...David Beckham...). If I could trade places with Posh, I would. She OWNS fug, in her own fabulous way. If she put out her own line of dresses made from six-pack rings and fruit roll-ups, I'd buy a dozen.
On the other match-up, I had to go with Kate. If you spend your entire life surrounded by the greatest designers on the planet, yet you dress like you shop at Goodwill and your taste in men leaves SO MUCH to be desired, you are fug, inside and out.
Posted by: Lorraine Bates | Mar 25, 2008 12:09:07 PM
It's so hard to vote for Posh's fug because I kind of love her! And by "kind of" I mean totally.
Posted by: Val | Mar 25, 2008 12:09:42 PM
Posh cannot fug, because she exists in her own world of fierce-ness. Joss Stone is just a mess, and has no idea what she's doing. Come on people! How can you say that formal shorts are worse than NO PANTS + NO SHOES? that equation surely equals no service. And by no service I mean she should win....
i don't remember what I'm talking about.
Posted by: dove | Mar 25, 2008 12:10:04 PM
Posh over Joss: I know she's supposed to be all FABULOUS and everything, but in recent ad campaigns (see, for example, the latest VOGUE -- the one with LeBron James on the cover) she's been looking really rough, to the point that I can't even really make fun of her because she looks like she might be honestly ill. I can vote for her in this poll, though -- no one's forcing her to be a print model.
Moss over Miller: Vote for the original, not the carbon copy.
Posted by: Kate | Mar 25, 2008 12:10:18 PM
yeah, sienna takes the kate look and rolls it around in the mud for a while before stepping out. yuck.
Posted by: cb | Mar 25, 2008 12:11:27 PM
Kate Vs Sienna, which one's which? I can't tell. I don't care? Yes I do. Sienna's worse because she chooses to look like Kate. Kate's been put in kooky things and told she's fabulous all day long so the girl just can't help it.
Posted by: laura | Mar 25, 2008 12:12:32 PM
I would have picked Sienna until yesterday when Kate wore that bearskin rug poncho thing, WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
Posted by: Christy | Mar 25, 2008 12:12:54 PM
There is no excuse for overtanning - it looks horrible on Brittany Murphy, Amanda Bynes, and here on Posh.
Posted by: Mike | Mar 25, 2008 12:12:59 PM
I'm all over the place in my rationales for my votes. Here I went with Miller because her fug is wannabe fug, which is pathetic and therefore more fugly. But in the Eva Green:Speidi match, I had to vote for Eva, because I want to see more of her in coming days, but also because Speidi's fug is not even wannabe fug, it's the Fug that Thinks its Adorable, which is icky to infinity.
Posted by: KPod | Mar 25, 2008 12:14:50 PM
Ah. I applaud the home-grown talent that is our Posh. Britain is proud to have such a trail blazer of fug featured on this site; I think good money could be put on her being the dark (or actually luminously, gloriously, radioactive orange) horse of the entire competition. It particularly amuses me that she has chosen to discard her past of skanky, hair-extensioned, WAG-dom, and yet her attempts to reinvent herself as an Anna de-Wintouresque style queen have resulted in some of the most memorable episodes fugging I have seen in all my life. Look no further than her recent attempt to transigure herself into a tennis ball. I can't decide if she's blind or just f**king with us. Either way, hats (or in homage to her - rather pointless, fingerless gloves-off) to you, Mrs B.
Posted by: Meems | Mar 25, 2008 12:15:56 PM
Posh over Joss. Posh looks so plastic and nasty all the time. It makes me wonder how she keeps everything in its place.
At least Kate carries the look to an extent. Sienna always looks like she is trying too hard.
Posted by: Victoria | Mar 25, 2008 12:16:53 PM
I think Kate deserves the win for coming up with that crap-tacular "fashion" line. UGH.
Posted by: SRH | Mar 25, 2008 12:17:13 PM
I voted for Sienna, because though she does look pretty much identical to Kate these days, she somehow always looks like she's been wearing the same clothes day nad night for the past two weeks. So, I came to the conclusion that it's better to look bad but clean than to simply look bad.
Posted by: O. | Mar 25, 2008 12:17:37 PM
I took Joss over Posh because Posh just really pulls everything off, somehow. It's fabulously fug, whereas, there's just nothing fabulous about barefoot in public.
Posted by: Mel | Mar 25, 2008 12:19:44 PM
I adore Posh and secretly want to live her life, but looking at that photo makes my chest hurt. She and only she can rock her fugliness in the most glamorous of ways so I don't feel bad voting for her.
Posted by: Sabrina | Mar 25, 2008 12:19:49 PM

Man, posh always looks like her torso is going to explode in a fabulous cloud of blood and gore. Two oranges floating in motor oil.
Posted by: Oxytone | Mar 25, 2008 12:21:12 PM
I don't even buy the fake-Moss theory which I guess is based on a vaguely similar 60s-era vibe. Moss is on the Biba/Quant side of that equation whereas Sienna has already showed us her gruesome, low-rent Edie Sedgwick imitation at great and tedious length. Plus Sienna has got her own special kind of self-congratulatory hideousness on display at all times, whereas Moss acts all aloof and stuck-up like a supermodel (I guess) should.
As for Posh she has been the fugliest of the fugly for many moons now, and she grows fuglier (and oranger) by the second. Everything about her is wound up so tight she looks like her ears are going to snap right off her head any second. Joss Stone is just a common or garden hippie. No contest there.
Posted by: maria | Mar 25, 2008 12:21:16 PM
I voted for Posh because...she scares me. Moss is definitely the choice over Miller because Moss is a model and therefore her job is to make clothes look better. Is it a contest? I rest my case.
Posted by: Leah | Mar 25, 2008 12:22:57 PM
omg, i just hate those fake boobs that are extra fake looking. i mean, the regular fake ones are bad enough, why did she get those round, shiny, high, fakie fake looking ones? arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh i voted for THOSE.
Posted by: coconutsmigrate | Mar 25, 2008 12:23:32 PM
Meems: you are right, I am thinking that Posh is about the only credible challenger to the Sev in this whole contest. The British: formidable opponents, as ever.
I'll be tossing and turning all night trying to decide.
Posted by: maria | Mar 25, 2008 12:23:57 PM
Sienna v. Kate Moss was a tough decision, but I ultimately decided to vote for Sienna Miller because I swear that every living day fashion magazines, celebrity gossip shows, and people on the internet try to cram the idea down my throat that Sienna Miller is, in fact, a fashion icon to be studied. I know that the same is said about Kate Moss, but Sienna Miller seems to be out there a bit more. I'm sorry but I'm still not convinced about either of them.
Posted by: Athena | Mar 25, 2008 12:25:03 PM
I actually saw Joss Stone on the streets of SoHo a few years back right after she mutilated her hair with the black and purple dye of tragedy. She is a gorgeous GORGEOUS girl who has made some incredibly bad decisions, both career- and fashion-wise. There's being a free spirit, and there's being stubborn. She is stubborn.
Also, I cannot stand Sienna Miller. Yuck.
Posted by: The Liz | Mar 25, 2008 12:25:59 PM
i went with moss--she originated this particularly fug look...but then again, to copy a fug look is really an odd lifestyle choice and might just make miller more fug than fug is...
ouch. my brain hurts.
Posted by: km | Mar 25, 2008 12:26:26 PM
Um...I thought Sienna Miller WAS Kate Moss?
Posted by: SavageLettuce | Mar 25, 2008 12:29:26 PM
Posh's boobs bother me.
I had to vote for Kate as she invented that horrific look. I mean, what is that? Hippiebumchic? It's awful! And yes, Sienna is TERRIBLE, but she is clearly "inspired" by Kate.
I really wish Kate would go away. I am so tired of seeing her everywhere. She is sickening. What's the big deal about her? I just don't get it.
Posted by: Z | Mar 25, 2008 12:30:11 PM
Oh, I mean, bare feet are kind of lovely. (Well, kind of. I would never do that, but, you know.) Bare breast, at least in public, and if you look all orange and plastic, is just creepy. Posh, buy a sweater and stop tanning. I beg you.
Posted by: Clara | Mar 25, 2008 12:30:25 PM
Has anyone else noticed Posh's arms in that picture? She looks like a bodybuilder whose muscles are too big to actually allow the hands anywhere near the body...minus the overly large muscles...why would anyone intentionally stand like that?
Posted by: Claire | Mar 25, 2008 12:32:31 PM
I agree with those of you that say Posh can usually pull her fug off. I sort of heart her. I do love Joss, but homegirl needs a new stylist stat. Maybe VB can help her!
Posted by: sbell | Mar 25, 2008 12:34:20 PM
I embarrassed to admit this, but I voted for Posh solely based on her weird breasts. I know, I know - SO wrong. But the way I see it, those oddly spherical chest attachments were an actual fashion choice, therefore, subject to some fugging scrutiny. No? As a woman I feel terrible for judging another woman based on her breasts, but THOSE BELONG TO A FEM-BOT.
Posted by: Amy D | Mar 25, 2008 12:34:33 PM
Nothing to add except that after looking at Sienna & Kate I have a sudden craving for turkey jerky.
Posted by: Kitty | Mar 25, 2008 12:35:37 PM
FEM-BOT! TOTALLY! HAHAHA! THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Claire | Mar 25, 2008 12:35:55 PM
1) Sienna is a hot mess and deserves to move onto the next round. 2) Joss looks like she smells like patchouli which is abhorrent. 3) I've turned a good corner on Posh; she's scary and freakish but kinda sexy; dig it or not, she's definitely creating her own style icon species. I've started filing Posh in the Grace Jones genus(imagine Posh in the 80s! Fabulous.)(in fact, shouldn't she and/or the Spice Crones be remaking GJ's "I Need a Man" like 5 minutes ago?).
Posted by: mackiepoo | Mar 25, 2008 12:36:35 PM
Posh is like some fug deity, in her fashion presence, the rest are all amateurs.
Posted by: Cecily | Mar 25, 2008 12:38:26 PM
If I could wipe the smugness off of Sienna's face then I'd vote for Moss, but Sienna truly believes her own hype and that's way more fug than anything she could possibly wear.
And Posh? Oh my. It's never a good sign when drag queens idolize you.
Posted by: Tana | Mar 25, 2008 12:40:12 PM
I voted for Posh over Joss. I can't help it, I like Joss's hippie craziness. At least her hippie craziness can be attributed to being young and dumb. Posh is old enough to have done the 80's once, and it's like she wants to go back and rock the crap she couldn't pull off at the junior high dance. (I will give her props, though, for having a sense of humor about the whole thing.)
I picked Kate over Sienna, but that was a tough call.
Posted by: GoingLoopy | Mar 25, 2008 12:41:52 PM
The Miller-Moss matchup is a close one, indeed. However, in judging the ENTIRE body of work from each of these ladies, Ms. Moss ultimately wins my vote because of the heinous accessorizing she was guilty of for several years there, to wit: PETE DOUGHERTY.
Posted by: Miss Em | Mar 25, 2008 12:43:02 PM
hmmmm. ok. so Posh generally looks ridiculous. and freakishly unlike a real, actual person. but, for some reason, which i'm admittedly unable to articulate, she looks "amazing"? like, for her? no? Joss, i realize you have a "right to be wrong" and everything, but what you don't (thank christ) have, is a right to even enter APPLEBEE'S dressed like that. no pants, no shoes, no service. actually, just no. you don't even appear to have cute feet (oxymoron?) and apparently you're at a concert for Diana. not an audition for a remake of Sonny and Cher. thanks.
that being said, Sienna Miller- just throw it in. you lose. your eyebrows always seem the wrong color, i can't pronounce your fiance's name, and you're dressed like a Hummel doll. also, i miss pete doherty.
Posted by: Cait | Mar 25, 2008 12:44:47 PM
I don't understand how anyone can vote for Her Royal Poshness. Clearly you do not understand her genius, she transcends Fug.
Sienna over Kate, she just seems like she could look better, but just doesn't care enough to try.
Posted by: Deb | Mar 25, 2008 12:47:30 PM
Don't you have to *have* style before someone can cop it?
I voted for Miller nonetheless. Moss can blame the heroine, what's Miller's excuse?
Posted by: Missie | Mar 25, 2008 12:47:37 PM
Moss, ALWAYS MOSS. Because people call her a style icon, when nine times out of ten, she looks horrendous. It's Chloe Sevigny syndrome at its worst!
Posted by: Emma | Mar 25, 2008 12:48:02 PM
Posh wears shoes. Clearly, Joss can afford shoes. Her pedicure probably cost more than the shoes I am wearing right now, but at least I am wearing them and not slapping my bare feet all over the office like that woman who walks around the office barefooted all the time regardless of whether she has a pedicure.
Posted by: Rachel | Mar 25, 2008 12:49:19 PM
Seriously? Posh over Joss? I mean, I know Posh is a little... over the top (her boobs mostly), but at least her style is high fashion and she wears shoes. I mean Joss looks like she's been shopping in a gypsy's closet... and barefoot!!! WTF?!?
Posted by: Lori | Mar 25, 2008 12:50:23 PM
Posh= duh
Miller/Moss? hard one, but had to go with Miller, as Moss is a drug usin' ho. So 'sack up, ho', and try harder next year!
Posted by: mrs o | Mar 25, 2008 12:53:45 PM
Judging from her skin tone, Posh's Spice appears to be Saffron -- Paprika on those days when she layers her skin products. Dear Goddess but those chestbursters of hers are frightening. I have to keep myself from howling "Check, please!" every time I see them. The Judy Jetson Disco look alone guarantees Posh a trip to at least the Final Four. Sienna and Kate, the Doubleknit Twins, are merely the same needle in unsightly haystacks.
Posted by: SidheDevil | Mar 25, 2008 12:55:46 PM
Sienna tries too hard to BE Kate Moss. And really, we only need one of those, kthnxbye.
Posted by: MizJ | Mar 25, 2008 12:57:43 PM
In the Posh vs. Joss category, there is always the 'does this look ever frighten me?' criterion.
Posh scares me sometimes. I mean, honestly, I shudder.
Joss, otoh, I can just sorta smile and go 'yes, she's a fruit loop!' and am not later haunted.
Moss vs. Miller was more difficult, but in the end, I feel that the Moss-esque style was begotten long ago, during the Moss dates Depp era, and therefore, where I let Johnny slide in earlier rounds (well, he's also quite fetching), I must let Moss slide this time around... she's a supermodel, after all. She cleans up well.
Miller? Not so much so. Besides, she always looks so happy with her fashion choices, and that freaks me right out.
Posted by: Meh_Whatever | Mar 25, 2008 12:58:49 PM
I went with Moss only because I find Sienna Miller about 100 times more appealing than her - with or without the crazy outfits!
Posted by: Jessica | Mar 25, 2008 1:01:41 PM
I only vote for Posh's fug because I love.
Posted by: Kathleen | Mar 25, 2008 1:01:44 PM
Posh for the win!
Posted by: Cat | Mar 25, 2008 1:04:05 PM
1) Joss Stone is way fuglier than Posh, Posh is over-the-top for sure but most of the time looks pretty damn well put together...Joss is just a mess every time you see her.
2) Miller is way fuglier, it is far worse to copy bad fashion than to just put together bad outfits. Not to mention Kate is actually good at modeling, where as Sienna has no reason to be famous other than copying cate and dating Jude Law
Posted by: lambman | Mar 25, 2008 1:08:03 PM
It's interesting how my votes are falling out here, and the reasons I have for casting them.
I voted for Posh, because she is so freaking over the top and fabulous. She owns the HELL out of her look. I love her to pieces for it (not to mention, envy the crap out of her marriage--*psst* David, call, k?).
On the other hand, I voted for Sienna, because she is just so tired and frumpy and... derivative--of Twiggy and every other 60's trendsetter. She hasn't reinvented anything; she's just a rumpled reiteration. She looks like a little girl playing dress up in her mom's old closet at Grandma's house. I look at her, and my lip turns up in a little sneer. That's probably not the reaction she's going for.
Posted by: Betsy | Mar 25, 2008 1:10:27 PM
Good lord,what are those basketballs doing in that dress? lol As for Joss, Better legs m'dear tho her clothes' sense does suck--voted for her anyway. As for Kate and Sienna--graaaaah! I had to go with Kate mainly because she cleans up a tad better. Peter Pan indeed lol
Posted by: Beau | Mar 25, 2008 1:11:35 PM
While Posh generally falls under the "to be pitied not scorned" mantle (really, how twisted must David be to drive this woman to such madness - something tells me he dresses as "my little pony" in the boudair) her inexplicable need to tan, weave, preen, todder, squish, and torment herself into outfits - all framed with that "my God, I do not have a thought in my head" look on her face has to carry the day - that and the fact that in a newsboy cap she would like like an orphan from Oliver - and I am guessing David makes her wear that cap -- poor little "I am just a hippy earth girl willing to do ANYTHING for some tracks" Josh never stood a chance.
As for Moss and Miller - the brown tarp Miller once wore and was commented upon on this very site ("are those even clothes you are wearing") - will always - ALWAYS - give Miller the advantage.
Posted by: Ricky | Mar 25, 2008 1:19:48 PM
Posh is too fabulous to be fugged. Joss however is the epitome of fug - both her clothes and her awful singing.
Kate and Sienna is a much harder decision. I decided to base it on who I'd least like to go for a drink with. Hence Kate gets my vote.
Posted by: Jennifer M | Mar 25, 2008 1:21:30 PM
I never thought I'd end up chosing someone else over Posh, but Joss Stone actually managed it. It wasn't actually that picture, it was a whole host of memories....visuals of pink hair, akward attempts at pink punk avril lavinge style. The Posh picture was a hundred times worse but recently shes not been looking bad. She just needs the implants removed then all will be good
Posted by: Occy | Mar 25, 2008 1:28:26 PM
although i love some of posh's outfits, i had to vote for her here because i think she would be really proud of herself to win a fashion award...even it's for not-so-nice fashion.
as for kate and her carbon copy - kate defined the fugly homeless/hobo look and sienna purposely copied it?? that makes sienna the fuglier of the two in my eyes.
Posted by: elise | Mar 25, 2008 1:34:44 PM
I voted for Posh because she makes the fug her bitch. I want to see her advance!
Moss vs. Miller was a tough choice, especially as Moss has been stepping up the fug lately something terrible! In the end I went with Miller for the many atrocities she has unleashed upon us: the ankle straps over skinny jeans, the endless parade of leggings, the hats, the shiny short dress at the Met costume ball, the bad imitation of Edie's haircut, Factory Girl---I could go on forever.
Posted by: jen | Mar 25, 2008 1:35:12 PM
Had to go with Posh. She is so fug, she's fugilicious. I mean, she is the "master" of making fug look fugtastic. She owns it, so she gets points in my book for that. (Sort of J-Lo style, but less glamour, more botox.)
I voted Sienna, although this was difficult. Kate is also fug, but she was the original...Sienna is just a cheap, fuggy imitation and for that, the fuggier.
Posted by: April | Mar 25, 2008 1:37:37 PM
I have a deep and abiding love for Posh Spice that goes beyond all reason and rationale. I actually think she might be an alien or something. Also, when the clothes are equally bad I usually vote for the person that look like they probably smell bad. Hence my vote for Joss Stone.
And my vote for Kate Moss.
Posted by: maggie | Mar 25, 2008 1:40:22 PM
I had to go with Sienna, because I just can't forget or even think about forgiving those sandal lace-up laces over jeans. Shudder...
Posted by: Jessica | Mar 25, 2008 1:46:04 PM
NOooooo. No F'king way! HOW on EARTH is Sienna beating Kate Moss, 74 to 25???? Kate has no real style, is badly in need of a bath. And has. terrible. TERRIBLE. taste in men and clothes. At least Sienna went with Jude and Rhys, charming as he is in his own need-of-a-bath manner.
Where are all the K-M haters?!
Posted by: You're Kidding! | Mar 25, 2008 1:46:07 PM
Fug Girls- Hear my cry for help! I am paralyzed with indecision, and need help understanding my motivation.
Is it a thing of glory to be fugged? Do our stars and starlets secretly hope to be fugged? Is it desirable (as it sounds) to be labeled "fugalicious" or "fugtastic"?
Or should our 64 original contenders cower in shame merely for being included in this fug-a-thon?
I can't decide! My confusion over the utterly complex world of fug is making my head spin. Save me from myself!

Two words: Bolt Ons. That's what my bf calls Posh's flotation devices. It's sad because Posh does so love fashion, and she would look like a real model or even a real girl, if she just didn't have those... things. It fugs up whatever she's wearing, high fashion or not.
Posted by: wandalicious | Mar 25, 2008 1:48:59 PM
I'm having trouble with this whole thing, mainly because I'm not sure if by fugging someone, it's really an insult. In the case of these ladies, I picked who I preferred personally, Posh and Kate. I hate Sienna and all she doesn't represent. But she always looks worse than Kate, so should I choose Sienna? See, I'm pretty sure Sienna would want to win this thing, and I can't let that happen. My head hurts.
Posted by: Kate | Mar 25, 2008 1:56:07 PM
Sienna! Because she's a weird copycat, Kate Moss was the orginal one. She shouldn't be the fuggy one.
Posted by: Sanne | Mar 25, 2008 1:59:08 PM
I actually think commenter Dove makes a very, very good point: Posh cannot fug, because she exists in her own world of fierce-ness. Joss Stone is just a mess, and has no idea what she's doing.
But then again, no matter how much I love the Spice Girls (and love them I do!) Victoria has definitely gone to a very strange, orange, mushy-faced place... I miss her original natural (but still snooty) beauty of before.
Posted by: Kristan | Mar 25, 2008 1:59:56 PM
Siena's just a Kate-Moss knockoff, so she gets my fug vote.
I'm programmed not to hate Posh no matter what.
Posted by: gw | Mar 25, 2008 2:07:12 PM
Way worse to ape the sartorial nightmare. At least Kate brought some creativity to the process. Besides, I'm wicked glad she made a comeback after the cocaine "scandal," as if there is anyone in the fashion industry who hasn't made a couple trips on down to Chinatown. Hypocrites and mimics are the real criminals in my book!

I went with Moss only because of that little star jumpsuit number complete with face painting.
Posted by: Dorothy | Mar 25, 2008 2:10:37 PM
Gotta admit, despite that fact that Posh looks like she has two bald babies smuggled under her corset - I still went with Joss. Joss is sloppy and lazy. Posh's fug is dedicated and ambitious. I respect that.
Sienna beat out Kate for me. Not sure why exactly, they both seem like they would be stinky girls. Literally. Like really smelly.
Posted by: Anna | Mar 25, 2008 2:11:59 PM
I'm almost worried I'm slowly becoming numb to fug; I look at Kate's picture and think, that's not so bad, is it? I clearly live in a city with too many urban-hipster types [aka Kate Moss-ians. Anyhoo, once I regained my sensiblities, I still had to vote Sienna because if you're going to be bad [and by bad, I clearly mean a horrendous offense to society/my retinas] you should at least be good at that. It's all about commitment.
Posted by: megan | Mar 25, 2008 2:17:26 PM
I actually think Sienna/Moss is a given...Moss no doubt...have we forgotten what she wore to her birthday party just a few months ago??? I think silver face paint was the just the beginning if I recall correctly.
Posted by: Corinne | Mar 25, 2008 2:20:52 PM
Moss 'cause of the association with Doherty.
Stone 'cause of that "haven't washed for a week" aura sticking to her.
Posted by: Ben | Mar 25, 2008 2:49:25 PM
Despite Joss Stone's public hatred of shoes, she put something on her feet often enough to appear to have a sock tan in that photo- at least footwear would have made her hipocrisy less obvious. Even without the tan lines, the amazingness that is Posh wins out every time.
Posted by: Em | Mar 25, 2008 2:51:08 PM
I actually really like the way that Posh and Kate Moss dress. Sure, they make some major mistakes, but that's what happens when you aim high and stick to your guns...
Posted by: Erin | Mar 25, 2008 2:51:32 PM
I went Sienna because she's even lamer than The Kate.
And I went Posh because she's so delightfully orange.
But this was a tough bracket!
Posted by: JupiterPluvius | Mar 25, 2008 2:55:21 PM
Mmm. This was easy. Posh n'Joss (That almost rhymes!).
I adore the Spice Girls, but that adoration is limited to Geri and Emma and sometimes one of the Mel's. Posh was the weakest link. She dressed the most boring out of them, has the personality of A Fem-Bot (as prior mentioned), and just...aaaaagh. I've never liked her, her clothing, or her demeanor. I'm quite the fan of her husband though.
Joss does Chav it up a bit every now and then though, so she does deserve an honorable mention.
The Sienna/Moss one was fairly easy. Kate's a model. That's her excuse. Sienna's famous for a string of terrible movies and even worse choices in men. That, and her awful fashion choices do her in. She frustrates and vexes me sehr.
Posted by: Grant | Mar 25, 2008 2:58:56 PM
Kate Moss has been known to accessorize with Pete Doherty, which is so fug I can't even begin to explain it.
Posted by: Chelsea | Mar 25, 2008 2:59:22 PM
It occurs to me that there are really two different kinds of Fug around here. There are people who own the Fug - Posh, Bai Ling, La Sevigny - and people for whom the Fug will forever remain a ineffable attraction, something they will grasp at, sometimes reach, but never quite rule - Miller, The Duffster, Ashlee. This is more fascinating to me than it should be.
Posted by: Spider Monkey | Mar 25, 2008 3:07:02 PM
Posh's breasticles are borderline scary/NWS heh
Posted by: Mel | Mar 25, 2008 3:17:15 PM
again, the fact that "winning" is an insult is really posing a problem for me. I voted for Sienna because Kate is better (at dressing herself, at being cool, at life... etc), the same as how, throughout, I've been voting for "whoever's not Mary-Kate", because I love Mary-Kate too much... but since I love them I want them to get attention!!! You're tearing me apart, GFY.

I hold Sienna completely responsible for putting the leggings idea into Lohan's head. I may forgive, but I'll never forget.
Posted by: Jadeblueafterglow | Mar 25, 2008 3:29:57 PM
Um, Posh...please don't be mad at me...but for the love of sweet baby Jesus in a basket WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BOOBS?!
Posted by: lelo | Mar 25, 2008 3:40:02 PM
Sienna is re-fugging-DICULOUS. Why is she trying to look like a homeless person? WHO DRESSES LIKE THAT? I'd like to slap that hat right off her head.
Posted by: lelo | Mar 25, 2008 3:42:10 PM
Are these all british people? interesting..
Posted by: Sarah | Mar 25, 2008 3:43:33 PM
Posh vs. Joss - no contest there! Posh is yet another scary diva who is some kind of luminary in the sky of fug.
Kate vs. Sienna was a tough one! In order to get a perfectly calibrated vote, I'd have to SNIFF each one to see who smelled more unwashed. But in the end, I had to vote for Kate because OMFG SHE HAS HAD SEX WITH PETE DOHERTY. MORE THAN ONCE.
Posted by: Ailurophile | Mar 25, 2008 3:48:15 PM
Love Kate. Hate leggings... Sienna's the fugliest of them all.
Posted by: sarah | Mar 25, 2008 3:50:49 PM
No! I was on a perfect winning streak until Sienna/Kate! I had to choose Kate because I find her loathsome. Sienna at least seems to be having fun. Kate? I think she picks out her outfits when she's a little...shall we say...under the weather?
Posted by: pamela | Mar 25, 2008 3:58:24 PM
Yes, Pete Doherty is grotesque and competes with Mr. JLo in looking undead, but take a gander at Rhys Ifans:
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_03/RhysIfansSPL_468x426.jpg
I mean, really. Is he not perfect for Ms. Miller? They can create little Fuglets together.
Sienna Miller seems like a smug, obnoxious airhead. Fug her!
Posted by: Maceo Little | Mar 25, 2008 3:58:45 PM
It was a tough choice between Posh and Joss, but I have to go with Posh just because she's fabulous. You have to give credit to someone who can still look that fabulous while wearing clothes no one else would consider. Then it's Sienna all the way. Copy cat fug is much worse than the original fug.
Posted by: Melissa | Mar 25, 2008 4:04:08 PM
Clearly Sienna is fuglier, as her shorts, or lack there of, makes her appear as if she's pulling a Britney
Posted by: Meghan | Mar 25, 2008 4:17:15 PM
Posh, just because of... those. You know... THOSE. They are always THERE.
And Kate, admittedly because I don't like her. Sienna is probably the worse, but ... I just don't like Kate.
Posted by: Kristan C. | Mar 25, 2008 4:24:27 PM
Posh vs. Joss: I voted for Posh. I think she's fabulous in some strange, scary anorexic way as well - maybe it's the Circus Freak factor. I love her sense of humor. But that chick's just plain weird looking most of the time. At least that Joss girl looks happy and original and is not trying to shoot laser beams out of her eyeballs at me.
Kate vs. Sienna: When Kate did it, it was sort of cute and original for a millisecond, scary boyfriends not withstanding. When Sienna does it, it's just pathetic. Kate beat her to the punch 10 years ago and it's as if she's just too stupid to realize. ORIGINALITY IS NOT COPYING SOMEONE ELSE'S ORIGINAL LOOK you silly cow.
Posted by: jax | Mar 25, 2008 4:35:50 PM
While certainly Kate's cloths are hideous, yet she manages to pull them off because she is rather iconic. Well, Sienna is really just a (really) poor man's Kate. What it really comes down to is this: Do we want S. to win anything?
Do we want to castigate people who actually look tragically bad, or award someone for taking something hideous and making it fabulous (aka Posh).
Posted by: Maren | Mar 25, 2008 4:41:14 PM
What?! People, come to your senses! How can Vicky B be winning over Joss Stone? Yes, we may suffer their fug: at least Victoria, with her super-diet, rigid breasts and bunions, suffers as well. Have you seen that woman's feet? How can we not reward her even slightly?
Posted by: verytallgirl | Mar 25, 2008 4:43:22 PM
Posh over Joss-Posh wins again for me because of those fug jugs and shhhhhhhhh, even though I love heels (I'm a shorty with stub legs) and practically live in them anymore, I wish I had the balls to go barefoot willy-nillingly all the time like Joss and Britney. I, much like Brit Brit, must have backwoods blood running through me and loved being barefoot as a kid. But, now I'm too prissy and you know, not really keen on getting something stank from a gas station bathroom floor.
Kate over Sienna-Sienna may be stealing her "style" but Kate is the one declaring that mess as her own! I don't think that either can really wash the skank off but Sienna seems more able to laugh at herself than Kate. Both are over hyped, but Kate is moreso and that's annoying.
Posted by: Sophia Patrillo | Mar 25, 2008 4:50:51 PM
I hate Miller. Hate. She, and her constantly erring style, fall into the Chloe 'pretentious, hopefully unconscious' Sevigny bin for me. Let us not forget the days of her perched on a mountain, plaiting her hair with Heidi, the days where she attempted to make swimwear into daywear by masking is with shorts, and the gogo girl-scarf-belt ensemble. The Pre Moss rip off years. (Which is what everyone is doing now, anyway).
However, I picked Posh out of love. She deserves this award. I want to see her stomp all over the other little guys, who THINK they know fug. They don't. She is totally major, and they are silly little people who shouldn't bother.
Posted by: Rach | Mar 25, 2008 5:25:57 PM
Moss over Miller - Moss actually looks good some times.And the fact she's an actual fashion person gives her the excuse to be crazy.I mean, look at karl Lagerfeld.
Is there really a match between Posh and Stone?I mean...ya know?Stone is hippy, has always been, is 21, she actually has an excuse to look like a Woodstock audience member.Posh is truly a fug deity.I don't think she could wear an Audrey Hepburn costume from Breakfast at Tifanny's without making it fugly.
Posted by: BaiLing | Mar 25, 2008 5:26:36 PM
The only thing worse than looking like Kate Moss is trying so very hard to look like Kate Moss.
Posted by: Kristina | Mar 25, 2008 5:43:14 PM
Posh has to win it because she is a fuglicious goddess who reigns with an iron fist of fug. I LOVE HER!!! Who else could wear chaps and look so bitchin'? So my vote for her is a salute to her endless achievement in the world of insane, drag-queen fashion which I secretly would love to wear as well, but I don't have the $ or the b*lls. She should win the whole contest, just for her absolute fierceness. And for nabbing Becks.
Posted by: blacksquirrel | Mar 25, 2008 5:47:24 PM
I had to vote for Sienna because if it weren't for her inane outfits and having dated Jude Law, who would care about her? She certainly doesn't get much notice for her acting. At least Kate Moss has real fame. Though Kate's recent attempts at clothing design did make it a tough vote.
Posted by: Laura E. | Mar 25, 2008 5:57:15 PM
Sienna over Kate all the way. Forget the whole chicken and the egg debate, Kate is responsible for heroin chic and thigh muscle and what not and she works it. What I like about her is that her fug never looks contrived, she just appears to be experimenting with something crazy and she's got the balls to not really care if it doesn't work. Sienna, however, tries. She's calculated. Nobody who honestly doesn't give a fuck would ever tie their shoes around their pants.
Posted by: Lo | Mar 25, 2008 6:05:43 PM
I had to fug Posh despite my mad love for her. Yes, I am unashamed to say I am a Posh fan and it's odd because the fashion book she wrote...sorry, 'wrote', actually gives sane advice. Although she pimps Topshop far more than I like but that can be overlooked. But her personal style is fug but if she actually becomes a little more mentally eccentric then her fug can be forgiven.
I voted for Kate simply because I DO blame her for Sienna in a weird way. At least for Sienna's dressing habits. I blame Jude Law for making her a household name overall.
Posted by: Elisabetta | Mar 25, 2008 6:11:25 PM
Has everyone here lost their damn minds?
What is so "fabulous" about Victoria "I'm the female Michael Jackson" Beckham?
(Or should I say Posh "I baste my skin like a turkey ala Kramer" Spice?)
She is NOT OKAY.
Posted by: Amy D | Mar 25, 2008 6:14:39 PM
posh vs the other,
i choose posh because she's fug in a fab way. fierce !!!!
and kate and siena, kate allways wears something that seems to come from the dirty clothes basket, and what her hand had found in the darkness and she just put it together and makes it work, i do that, so it's hot.
Posted by: theboy | Mar 25, 2008 6:21:10 PM
So they're pretty much identical BUT at least Sienna doesn't wear an unbearable amount of fur.
I feel like Kate makes it a point of wearing a dead animal every day, in any form. I'm no PETA advocate but no matter how much I love her... it's excessive!
Posted by: themonty | Mar 25, 2008 6:31:56 PM
Can we just take a minute and look at Posh's armpit in that picture..now THAT is fug.
Posted by: Annie | Mar 25, 2008 6:38:51 PM
Posh. Is this seriously even a question??
And Sienna because she took Kate's fug and morphed it into starlette fug, which some fool fashion edtiors mistook for something that was ACTUALLY STYLISH and not a trash heap. Ugh to that fug.
Posted by: Anastasia | Mar 25, 2008 6:39:52 PM
This was so tough. So very very tough. I needed another glass of wine just to puzzle it out. But Sienna's got this one, if only because of that granny pantie (complete with camel toe), fuzzy shirt ensemble.
Posted by: Liz | Mar 25, 2008 6:39:57 PM
Just one question - does Posh actually think she looks hot?? WTF
Posted by: Jen | Mar 25, 2008 6:45:04 PM
"What are those haters thinking? Clearly Sienna is copying Peter Pan."
Juice out of my nose. Totally worth it!
Kate's kinda crazy (I must admit I somewhat <3 her, though) but at least she can pull of the ridiculous outfits wthout looking like she's wearing a costume. As cannot Modern Day Peter Pan up there.
Posh looks unreal like seriously I cannot stop looking at her, so orange, so boob-tastic, she owns the Fug...
Also do you think that the haircut was what Renee Z was going for? Because I don't think you're supposed to emulate Posh, such fuggery is in the blood!
Posted by: lady_wraith | Mar 25, 2008 6:48:59 PM
i chose posh, even though any more notoriety might explode her head for real. and sienna, because she is a poor copycat of miss moss.
Posted by: annette | Mar 25, 2008 6:55:14 PM
fug the armpits. that is so not fabulosity. me cast me vote for of Gosh.
Posted by: deanna | Mar 25, 2008 7:00:50 PM
I really don't care for Joss Stone. I'm afraid that it's Posh all the way! I happen to think she can make anything work; she somehow (mindbogglingly) pulls it off each and every time. And she's the only one who can do so.
I can't stop myself from thinking that Kate Moss has the same crazy as Posh, albeit in an entirely different way. Yeah, she looks strange most of the time, but at least it's an original strange. Note to Sienna Miller: there's a reason plagiarism is illegal. It should probably apply to fashion sense as well as the written word.
Posted by: Steph | Mar 25, 2008 7:10:14 PM
What we have with Posh/Stone are two different definitions of fug. Were this a fair (for us, the voters) contest, there would be two fights: one between those who actually try and truly think that they, in all their orange glory, achieve something stylish--and those who just have no freaking clue and will grab any piece of bright shiny fire hazard. I voted for Posh--the Forever 21 crowd can have their own party.
Posted by: jls | Mar 25, 2008 7:41:24 PM
Posh is going to win this whole fug mess. LOVE HER.
Posted by: sara | Mar 25, 2008 7:50:10 PM
Kate gets my vote, if only because she's been fuglier a lot longer than Sienna. And anyone who inspires a horde of coked-out, stringy-haired, hooker bag-toting clones (which may or may not count Sienna in its ranks) should be fugged 'til she can't be fugged no more. The end.
Posted by: Meg | Mar 25, 2008 8:09:05 PM
It's one thing to be Kate Moss. It's another thing entirely to want to be Kate Moss.
Posted by: Elizabeth | Mar 25, 2008 8:18:30 PM
I had to vote for Joss because which is worse - having no nipples, as Posh seems to be in the predicament of, or having no shoes? You can hide being nippleless much easier than you can hide the fug that is Joss Stone. She's like a lost twelve year old.
Also, Kate Moss has horrible style, but more pathetic is Sienna who wants to copy that.
Posted by: Sasha | Mar 25, 2008 8:29:13 PM
Posh scares the living **** out of me. She looks like the love child of an anorexic Oompa Loompa and the Termintor in that picture. I think if she keeps staying that orange and...busty...she could be a sleeper (behind the Sev and the other crazies) and take this whole thing.
Posted by: Melissa | Mar 25, 2008 8:34:45 PM
Kate Moss because she always looks like she smells of fish.
Posh because she always looks SO orange and angry. I detest her fake boobs. She's going to keep on with cosmetic surgery until they are so far up on her chest, they'll look like a couple of goiters. The woman is so far past looking real, that she could be a stand-in for herself at the wax museum.
Posted by: piletre | Mar 25, 2008 8:38:35 PM
Wow. Are we certain Moss and Miller aren't the same person? Come on: two outfits like that independently arrived at? No way. In the end I decided that Miller's hat and--what? boots?--were too obviously a bid for Fug Queen and not merely a style statement. She has to be working it for our sake, right? She didn't--come on!--choose to wear that stuff just because she thought the outfit looked good? SHE WENT TOO FAR! On the other hand...who can argue with Posh? She has the cool confidence to wear that dress with those breasts--forget the hair, the fake tan, the makeup, and the wacked-out glare!--this is fug, coolly played. Gotta hand it to the woman: she kicks Joss Stone to the curb, probably with a lace-up, stiletto-heeled, patent-leather, steel-toed gladiator bootie.
Posted by: G-Ex | Mar 25, 2008 8:45:36 PM
Posh could paint those things black and white and be the mascot for the soccer team.
Posted by: DC | Mar 25, 2008 8:57:04 PM
I have already told you all this once before, but I will repeat lest you forget, because I care about you:
POSH WILL NOT BE MOCKED.
Tread carefully. Though she keeps it ever hidden, her wrath, when unleashed, is boundless, and will hurl down the heavens and turn topsy turvy all you know and love.
You are all fortunate her mercy is outweighed only by the voluminosity of her bosom.
Oh--and Sienna infects my eyes.
Posted by: John the Craptist | Mar 25, 2008 8:58:01 PM
Wow. This one was WAY easier.
Posh can't stop looking like a oxidizing android and Sienna is... Sienna.
Posted by: Brammi | Mar 25, 2008 9:01:27 PM
Joss Stone is fuglier than Posh.
Sienna's fug is fuglier than Kate's.
Posted by: eat my shorts | Mar 25, 2008 9:16:01 PM
Sienna Miller? Sienna Miller?
Why, oh why, is Sienna Miller winning over Kate Moss. Moss' fug is the reason that Sienna's fug exists. Moss is her muse. Where would Miller be without Moss. People, for the love of God, Moss is a model who has access to the finest of designer offerings yet she chooses to ignore them. She is allowed to design her own fuggish clothing and she has learned nothing from the talents she had modeled for. Kate's fug should be the only fug in this match up.
This should be Moss' day.
What a tragedy to see Moss' spectacular fall at the hands of Miller. Stay strong Kate. Next year will be your year.
Posted by: jen310 | Mar 25, 2008 10:11:27 PM
