Fug Madness 2008: Cher, Sweet 16, Continued
(2) SHARON STONE vs. (11) JULIETTE LEWIS
This ought to be interesting. We're of the mind that there are two sorts of fugs. One is the tragical misguided Tara Reid-y kind, where you're just like, "oh, HONEY. NO." And then there's the over-the-top, wackadoo crazy diva kind, where you're more like, "oh, my God. No. AND YET YES." One could argue that at least one of these women is the latter, and possibly both.
The no-questions-asked diva, of course, is Sharon Stone, who is SO GLORIOUS that I must put her after the jump (you MIGHT be able to see her nipples a bit. Not in a way that your boss will come swanning past your desk and then do a swift, angry U-turn, asking you loudly, "ARE THOSE NIPPLES?" but rather in a way where you think, "are those...oh, Sharon."):
See? Gorgeous genes surrounded by ENDLESS CRAZY: feathers, spats, nips, a skirt that was attacked by a rapid beaver* on the way to the Globes. Apparently, that beaver has a vendetta, as it brutalized her blazer on another occasion, and tried to gnaw out her left ovary on another. Also, we can't mention this enough.
* a typo we found so amusing, we decided to leave it and may, in fact, adopt it as a nickname for Shazz
As for Juliette Lewis, some of our wise commenters have noted that Juliette gets kind of a pass because she's a wild rocker chick. To which I thought, "but is she REALLY?" Admittedly, I've never seen Juliette rock it out with the Licks, but her band always seemed to me like a kind of drawn-out vanity project that she works on because she's not getting good acting roles. I mean, she was nominated for an Academy Award. She may certainly legitimately rock it out -- I hope she does, that would kind of awesome -- but I think most people think of her as a sort-of out-of-work actress who noodles around in jumpsuits for kicks. Nice work if you can get it.
HOWEVER. She is NOT performing here, that I can tell:
No matter how you slice it, that be crazy.

you need only compare those two pictures.
jebus sharon. look at the state of you!
Posted by: mox | Mar 28, 2008 9:03:34 AM
Juliette's fug is true and real. But, Sharon's is born of utter desperation. There is something sweet and touching about an old fugger. You just have to reward that kind of thing. Juliette, you will be 80 years old some day like, Ms. Stone and you will get your turn then.
Posted by: Sharon | Mar 28, 2008 9:05:32 AM
Hi, I just wanted to let you know I read an article about this website in the Chicago tribune yesterday. It was really cool to see the faces of the fug girls! Keep up the good work.
Posted by: Anna | Mar 28, 2008 9:08:08 AM
I mean this in the best way possible, because she is indeed opera-fug, but Sharon looks like she personally skinned all those animals that she wears. Her crazy looks like it comes with a side of killing rage.
Posted by: Sara Clugage | Mar 28, 2008 9:10:58 AM
Juliette you have been outfugged - wait a few years (or decades) and you will be the grand dame of fug
Posted by: Jenn | Mar 28, 2008 9:12:51 AM
I think Juliette is one of those celebs that likes to dress in costume. Fug costume, but costume nonetheless. But Sharon is just dressing herself with extremely bad taste. She is wackadoodle defined.
Posted by: Nashvegas | Mar 28, 2008 9:12:57 AM
It's got to be Sharon Stone - mostly because she looks like she's thinking, "GOD, I'm FABULOUS" when she wears her insane get-ups. Juliette Lewis looks like she's thinking, "Look-a me! I'm all crazy and stuff!" Fug's at its best when it's completely unaware of its fug-ness.
Posted by: Kimberley | Mar 28, 2008 9:14:21 AM
Sharon is old enough to know better! That automatically makes her the fugliest! Please girl stop dressing like you're in your 20's.....and nuts...
Posted by: Kristen | Mar 28, 2008 9:15:18 AM
I will vote for Sharon because, while Juliette is no doubt crazy with the fug, she seems to try too hard at times. And she can actually pull it together and act if she has too, rather than just flash her ladyparts.
But really it does come down to the fug and based on the body of work Sharon takes it.
Posted by: Indiana | Mar 28, 2008 9:16:04 AM
Stone is the high priestess of Fug. Poorly dressed celebrities everywhere must seek her out for guidance.
Posted by: GC | Mar 28, 2008 9:16:23 AM
Oh, come on. No one can outfug Juliette!
Posted by: Joan | Mar 28, 2008 9:17:00 AM
Had to go with Sharon, b/c she looks like she had an air of Class, and then let that beaver chase it off.
Posted by: Alex | Mar 28, 2008 9:17:19 AM
I think it was Sharon's fur that tipped my vote in her direction. She lives in LA for fug's sake, is it necessary to be constantly swathed in dead animals?
If the voting were for all-out crazazy, that would have to go to go to Juliette. She's nuts, and I'm always a little scared of her.
Posted by: Miss Em | Mar 28, 2008 9:21:38 AM
Sharon is CLEARLY fugly, both on the inside, and out. Also, she's batshit crazy, AND I've seen her Britney. Triple points.
And, I sort of love Juliette and that whole wild quasi-rockeresque thing she's got going on.
Posted by: Lori | Mar 28, 2008 9:22:06 AM
NO!!! Sharon Stone can't win this match! She may be awful, but at least she's never donned a red satin feather head thingy. Come on, who else can make you laugh like that?!
Posted by: Elaine | Mar 28, 2008 9:24:43 AM
Juliette - for this reason alone:

Posted by: Lori Magno | Mar 28, 2008 9:25:16 AM
I like Juliette, I do. I feel like acting was the thing that she did prior to finding her true calling. Sort of like some of us waitress or work at the mall--she is garish, pretentious, and awesome. Sharon, however, is just filled to the brim with bad taste. She came into the store I worked at once and bought the ugliest brooch we had in the discount case (I think it said "baby" on it), and had a hole in her black stockings, and proceeded to make out all over the jewelry displays...
Posted by: sweetpea | Mar 28, 2008 9:25:43 AM
oy, how could you not link to this little number as exhibit C? stone takes the crown.

Posted by: jen | Mar 28, 2008 9:27:37 AM
Sharon Stone reminds me of a crazy aunt I have; she wears rediculous things and drinks a lot (and I suspect chows a fair amount of pills), but I love seeing her at family functions because she'll sit next to you and say bitchy things about your third cousin whom neither of you can stand. HOWEVER, she's still much fuglier than Juliette, whom I did see in concert and can say that she's marginally talented. So it's S-Squared all the way.
Posted by: pia | Mar 28, 2008 9:28:27 AM
Have to go with Juliette on this one. Sharon is crazy, but at least she doesn't look kinda constantly greasy and scurvy like Juliette does.
Posted by: Sheri | Mar 28, 2008 9:28:28 AM
Oops. By "rediculous" I meant "ridiculous". Silly me.
Posted by: pia | Mar 28, 2008 9:30:07 AM
What did I say, people????? Juliette Lewis and Bai Ling at the end!!! Sure, Sharon Stone is crazy, but compile all the pictures of Juliette together and you've got pure and simple Fug.
Posted by: cwelk | Mar 28, 2008 9:30:29 AM
I feel really bad for actually saying this, but sometimes I feel like Juliette's biggest problem is her face. I mean, not that she's ugly (although if pressed I probably would describe her as "plain," but there's no shame in that). She is just always pulling these really awful faces. Maybe if she stood up straight and FAILED to look like she wanted to kill us all, she could actually rock some of her fashion stunts.
Posted by: lizling | Mar 28, 2008 9:31:13 AM
Gotta go with Juliette. First of all, if you've seen the movie "Strange Days" (and I don't recommend it), you've heard her "sing." She is not a singer.
Secondly, once...back in the mists of time, Sharon Stone totally rocked a simple Gap turtleneck at the Oscars, and looked gorgeous. And she raises a TON of money for AIDS charities. And every so often she looks fantastic.
Third, Juliette Lewis, when nominated for her very own Oscar, went in cornrows. Unforgivable.
Posted by: drdan | Mar 28, 2008 9:31:46 AM
Sharon *BRINGS IT*. Period. And she could take down both Peldons without batting an eyelash.
Posted by: Jola | Mar 28, 2008 9:36:33 AM
I went with Sharon only because her fug is regal and majestic, like the emperor with too many clothes. Juliette's is garage band and one gets the feeling she just doesn't know what to do with herself (corn rows at the Oscars, yes! I do remember, yikes!). Sharon's intensity burns through the rags of all the other fugs (except Posh's, of course).
Posted by: Cecily | Mar 28, 2008 9:37:05 AM
Sharon Stone definitely gets my vote. She always seems so desperate to be sexy/edgy where Juliette Lewis is just crazy (and for some reason I can admire crazy, but not desperate).
And just curious....did you really mean to type "rapid beaver" or were you going for "rabid beaver"? Though the former is definitely funnier. Maybe it was a rapid rabid beaver? ;o)
Posted by: Sheila | Mar 28, 2008 9:38:41 AM
I have to hand it to Juliette, if only because she's got the crazy facial expressions to accompany her glorious fug.
Posted by: Cindy | Mar 28, 2008 9:39:24 AM
Sharon Stone: Bitch CRAZY
Posted by: mrs o | Mar 28, 2008 9:39:36 AM
God, that was a hard decision. How do you decide between 2 such crazies?
Posted by: Giovanna | Mar 28, 2008 9:43:02 AM
I just can't fug Sharon. There are times when she looks stunning, yet Juliette is always a mess. I don't even think she had to get "into character" or change wardrobe when she guest starred on "My Name is Earl".
Posted by: Katikins | Mar 28, 2008 9:43:50 AM
It's a tough match-up for sure. Sharon, however, wins my vote for the fur factor. Juliette *is* wackadoodle, to be sure, but furry carcasses beat wackadoodle.
Posted by: ali | Mar 28, 2008 9:43:58 AM
I love what Juliette's wearing. Does that make me banned from fug? fugscommunicated?
Posted by: Lauren | Mar 28, 2008 9:47:14 AM
I am shocked, SHOCKED, by the voting. Sharon Stone may be crazy but she is pretty doggone fabulous. But Juliette Lewis? If you looked up fug in the dictionary there would be a picture of her in that red leather ensemble with the matching kamakazi headband. Look what I just wrote people: kamakazi headband! (gee I sure hope I spelled that correctly...) I mean, COME ON!
Posted by: Maggie | Mar 28, 2008 9:49:43 AM
(heh) Sharon Stone. Beaver Jokes (heh).
Sometimes, I am twelve.
Sharon Stone is a fug demagogue. She wreaks fug havoc everywhere and remains fabulous. I have decided that to fug is to honor, and thusly, I vote Sharon. Juliette, although a horrible dresser of questionable hygiene, is unworthy of such a title. This new system (I believe) will help guide my vote in future face-offs.
I feel at peace. Fug Bless America.
Posted by: Gretchen | Mar 28, 2008 9:56:21 AM
Omg, this is the match-up I have been waiting for all week! Is Juliette Lewis peeing herself in the Wonder Woman photo or is it me (reminiscing for Fergie)? She's definitely got major sweat happening in the underarms region! Sure? Unsure.
Had to go against the troves of photos documenting Stone and go with Juliette - because she is bad taste par excellence.
Posted by: Mike | Mar 28, 2008 9:57:18 AM
This-
"I went with Sharon only because her fug is regal and majestic, like the emperor with too many clothes."
Cracked my shit up. But, unlike Cecily, I had to go with Juliette. I can't fug regal and majestic fug. It's just too rare. It'd be like shooting a white peacock. If Jules were twenty years older, I could give her a pass.
Posted by: Elisabetta | Mar 28, 2008 9:59:35 AM
It goes to Sharon: Juliette is probably certifiable by the DSM-IV. Sharon is just annoying - leave the animals alone!
Posted by: ElizaB | Mar 28, 2008 10:02:06 AM
Fug is, ultimately, all about the laughter, isn't it? I laughed for a full solid five minutes at Juliette Lewis in the Indian headdress. My cheeks hurt. She wins.
Posted by: Ericka | Mar 28, 2008 10:02:56 AM
i've seen juliette live and she's reminiscent of pj harvey and patti smith--not bad. the first album--good. the rest--well, studio polished = bland.
and, no, she's not a singer, she's like harvey and smith and in my book, that's not bad.
what is bad is that she's taken her stage persona off the stage and parages around daily as such.
and, yes, have we all forgotten her corn-rows?????
and as for stone's "rapid" beaver (!!!!), well i'm too scared of it to vote.
Posted by: km | Mar 28, 2008 10:04:46 AM
I voted for S. Stone, firstly because of the outfit made out of numerous animal pelts (ewww), secondly because she seems to think clothing is better post paper-shredder (does anyone remember that terrible black dress she wore to an auction not long ago? Where the back was shredded up to her hoo-ha?), thirdly 'cause she's got that kind of crazy "I'll feed my husband to a dragon" look about her no matter what she's wearing...
But mostely because I want to see her go head-to-head with Posh.
Posted by: lelo | Mar 28, 2008 10:06:17 AM
*mostly*. C'mon, coffee...kick in!
Posted by: lelo | Mar 28, 2008 10:08:10 AM
Oh another hard one! I had to go with Juliette...I've at least seen Sharon wear close to normal clothes in the past, but NEVER Juliette.
Posted by: liz | Mar 28, 2008 10:08:50 AM
Sharon Stone is supremely fugly. Julliette can only hope to aspire to such heights.
Posted by: Amy | Mar 28, 2008 10:10:43 AM
Man, is this tough. I was all ready for Lewis to go the distance, but something in the last montage pulled me up short. I think it might have been all the animal pelts, feathers, skins, etc. on Sharon. Plus, a comment that JuLew seems to be saying "look how kooky I am" vs. Sharon's flat out nut-itude rang true. I had to go with Sharon, but now I am conflicted about Chloe vs. Bai Ling.
Posted by: Susan | Mar 28, 2008 10:16:51 AM
Voted for Juliette, but now you've got me all confused. S-squared sometimes looks fabulous, while Juliette is consistently fugtrocious. They both reek of desperation, although Juliette reeks of ...something else, even across cyberspace. However, Juliette would love wearing Sharon's clothes, while I believe Sharon would rather chew and tan her next pair of zebra chaps with her own regurgitated martinis than wear Fugliette's gear. Match to Juliette.
Posted by: Critter | Mar 28, 2008 10:17:32 AM
i just have to say i love the word wackadoo. i luagh hysterically everytime i read it.
and the whole fug madness is great. thank you so much for giving me great reading material.
Posted by: Lindsey | Mar 28, 2008 10:18:22 AM
Sharon is calculating-ly fuggeous. Juliette is just stoned or something, and like Sharon's previous foes, has years of fuggness ahead.
Posted by: Debbi | Mar 28, 2008 10:18:58 AM
I also went with SStone because of the dead animals. If she were a dame in the 1920's I would understand it - no silly "endangered animals" list, no PETA, no collective social conscience, etc. She really should know better. Besides that, the aesthetic just gets disgusting after a while.
After looking at all the pictures of Juliette Lewis, I'm starting to wonder if she should be disqualified due to mental illness....
Posted by: Gina | Mar 28, 2008 10:20:40 AM
Really people? Sharon Stone over Juliette Lewis? Juliette is just...ug. Everything about her, from her films, to her TV appearances, her "band"...She's just so frumpy and dowdy and blah!
Sharon's...um. She's a grand dame cougar. I think Cougar is more admireable then derelict, call me crazy. . .
Posted by: Grant | Mar 28, 2008 10:21:38 AM
Sharon: on purpose, wants to, means to, is too smart not to intend it
Juliette: pathetic, desperate, fugworthy, but not worthy of fug
Posted by: libbet | Mar 28, 2008 10:24:35 AM
Heh. Sharon Stone + "beaver" references = my vote.
Posted by: sj | Mar 28, 2008 10:29:55 AM
Juliette seems like she might be kind of a fun gal despite her lack of sartorial sense.
Sharon Stone? Ick. Mutton dressed as lamb.
Posted by: mb | Mar 28, 2008 10:35:33 AM
Wow. This was a tough one. In the end, I had to choose Sharon because she should know better. Juliette is just crazy.
Posted by: Suze | Mar 28, 2008 10:37:08 AM
This was such a hard choice. I wanted to Fugliette to win it, I did. I feel like she deserves the chance to air her fug out. Sharon has, why can't Juliette??
But it the end, Sharon will make a far better competitor for Peldon.
But, I daresay, when Peldon ends up dead in the fug alley, we will all know what happened.
Posted by: Alise | Mar 28, 2008 10:41:29 AM
This was by far, the most difficult, struggle inducing decision I've had to make. I love me some Sharon, except that time she forced me to look at cooter, and I'll never get Nick Nolte's "would you mind if I put my arm around you," and Juliette's akward southern teen self in Cape Fear. Talk about big hot messes, but alas, I had to go with La Stone, nips, cooter and all.
Posted by: Scott | Mar 28, 2008 10:44:02 AM
I find myself making an allowance for the musicians; they're supposed to be crazily fugged out so you can see them from the back of the stadium. (Not at lunchtime, necessarily, but still.)
Posted by: fifi | Mar 28, 2008 10:47:15 AM
I went with Sharon on this one. I have to think that she has more money that Juliette and could afford a better stylist, wardrobe, hair/makeup, etc...etc... Not to say that having bajillions of dollars gives you good sense (e.g. Beyonce, J.Lo, Olsen twins et. al) but it seems you should look better than the average tranny hot mess.
Posted by: Art DeCoco | Mar 28, 2008 10:47:22 AM
I think Juliette looks adorable in that pic right above the poll. Avril Lavign wishes she had that outfit.
But overall Juliette is the way fuglier dresser, Sharon is fabulous/crazy juliette is crazy. Crazy is fuglier than fabulous/crazy in my book
Posted by: lambman | Mar 28, 2008 10:54:39 AM
What Sheri said. It's the greasiness and scurviness of Juliette that makes my hair point to the mountains when I look at her. And I would add "skeeviness" to that combo platter.
Posted by: Susanelle | Mar 28, 2008 10:58:44 AM
You guys. I don't know. I don't know! This was one of very few brackets I hadn't been able to fill out. I'm actually going to have to ask around the office on this one, because I am incapable of choosing between Cougar/Possibly Mauled By a Real Cougar/Superdramatic/Possibly On Purpose Fug and I Think Drugs Are Just FANTASTIC"/Horrible Facial Expressions/No Seriously I'm a Rocker Fug.
Posted by: kerminator | Mar 28, 2008 11:06:08 AM
Sharon all the way! It comes to mind that the poor beaver who bedraggled her in the first two pics posted may surely be the horror of matted fur topping her fugulousity in the last picture. That kind of crazy truly deserves to be fugged to the utmost....RIP rapid beaver.
Posted by: MARGARET | Mar 28, 2008 11:08:24 AM
Sharon all the way. All the dead animals draped on her body add to the fug exponentially.
Posted by: Norm | Mar 28, 2008 11:20:04 AM
I have to go with Sharon Stone. Crazy is Juliette Lewis's thing. Sharon Stone, on the other hand, is trying to be fabulous and just not trying hard enough. Or maybe is trying too hard.
Posted by: Wallydraigle | Mar 28, 2008 11:25:39 AM
Oh, the sweet sixteen is forcing my brain to develop new synapses. So much to think about and ponder. Do you go with Ms. Stone if you are nasty, or little Miss Juliette that snagged a Brad back in the day but has gone downhill from there?
I decided to go with Stoney. She has had moments of brilliance, survived some brain explosion thing, and can look like quite fetching. However, it is easy to forget all the positives when you look at how she insists on dressing. I think that she has decided "screw it, I faced death and kicked that bitches ass, now I am going to dress any way that I want and y'all can bite me." She is just not making the effort that befits her anymore.
J.Lew is just a young, lost soul trying to find her place in the world. Obviously she has decided to travel the path more fugged. She can still be redeemed, she can still turn away from the fug that she has embraced. She has not shown her lady bits to the world. Have empathy for her, she knows not what she does whereas Sharon, you wanna make something of it, Stone knows what she is doing and dares you to say somethign about it. Remember, if she can remove her own ovary and then go to a party she can certainly kill you and then drink your blood in a martini glass!
Yes, this post is long but the synapses keep firing.
Posted by: Tara | Mar 28, 2008 11:32:06 AM
If the poll were working and I could vote, I'd have to vote for Sharon, simply because of the fur factor. Juliette puts the f-u in Fug--not pleasant to watch, but still admirable somehow.
Posted by: Lucy | Mar 28, 2008 11:34:53 AM
It has to be Sharon, glorious Sharon, Queen of All That is Fug.
Posted by: b | Mar 28, 2008 11:43:07 AM
That was hard. Stone's fug is so divine though I had to go with her. She wears her fug like she wears her crazy - elegant and refined. Lewis is too wacky with her fug - like, I dare say, she is trying. Sharon does not try with her fug she becomes ONE with her fug. Sharon for the win.
Posted by: jen310 | Mar 28, 2008 11:47:14 AM
My brain nearly exploded on this one. The fur blanket and the slasher dress! Truly pinnacles of fug. But then there's Juliette...sweet, crazy, jumpsuit wearing Juliette.
On the surface, Stone should be a no-brain. She's Sharon effing-Stone and she pioneered getting pres out of the lady bits! But Juliette is a delusional jumpsuit rocker, and in the end, I had to bow to the power of the spandex.
Posted by: Kimberly | Mar 28, 2008 11:54:52 AM
This one was pretty easy for me. Juliette Lewis is pretty darn fugly, but Sharon Stone is... well, the woman is INSANE, and that gives her the win.
Posted by: s the all mighty | Mar 28, 2008 11:57:37 AM
I have seen Juliette Lewis and the Licks. It was terrible. Her outfit was basically a microcasm for the whole experience - forced, loud, obnoxious, and crying for attention.
Posted by: jenn | Mar 28, 2008 11:57:53 AM
First, would everyone PLEASE quit saying "rapid beaver" already--my ears are bleeding with the sheer grammatical WRONGNESS of it all (think: "irregardless" or "supposably"). Unless you're referring to a rodent that demolishes wood and fabric with extraordinary haste, I believe "RABID beaver" is what we're going for here, as Ms. Stone's garments do in fact appear to have been gnawed into oblivion by a crazed (vs. speedy) varmint. Thank you. (Sorry, English 101 flashbacks).
NOW. Who to choose. This bracket is yummy because there is NO WRONG ANSWER! I do find it very tragic that Sharon Stone, once such a sexy "It Girl" in Hollywood, has been reduced to capturing the world's attention by donning any stray animal pelt she can find (look for the opossum pashmina any day now), and running any otherwise respectable-looking outfit through a paper shredder. Alas, I did not notice her gradual but certain deterioration until the fateful day I read Heather's post: "The day Sharon Stone stops thinking she's every man's dominatrix fantasy is the day Courtney Peldon wins a Golden Globe." Truer--and sadder (yet also funnier!)--words have never been spoken. Sharon has, unbeknownst even to herself, slowly transformed herself into the Grande Dame of Fug. It just may be too late to save her. So as much as I admire her pulling off the quintessential "Cougar" with flair, she gets my vote.
Juliette, on the other hand, wins a close second with her brand of "Josie and the Pussycat Dolls" rocker-chick-wannabe-style. I don't think she should quit her day job for the music scene (she's actually quite a versatile actress--am I the only one who didn't just hate "Catch and Release"?), but I also don't think a new stylist would be a waste of her time. And maybe some stronger deodorant.
Posted by: Laurie | Mar 28, 2008 11:58:06 AM
I think it's Sharon's bloody ballgown that tipped it for me. There's ugly, and then there's DEAR GOD!
Posted by: Manon | Mar 28, 2008 12:06:57 PM
Sharon is awesomely insanely magnificent.
Juliette is just sad.
Posted by: IZZY | Mar 28, 2008 12:07:56 PM
I think we all realize it was supposed to be RABID instead of rapid beaver, however since the Mistresses of Fug made that typo (or possibly did it on purpose) and it seems to be both more interesting and funnier that way we have all been playing along. Also, don't you think a beaver would HAVE to be extremely rapid to get away with doing that to La Stone? Go have a margaritta - it's 5:00 somewhere
Posted by: MARGARET | Mar 28, 2008 12:12:07 PM
My fifteen-y.o. daughter says that Juliette and the Licks are fun live, and as for singing, she is no Nina Hagen but she is not bad for a wee Scientologist-who-looks-uncannily-like-the-young-Tom-Hanks little rocker chick. And I voted before another commenter reminded me of the dread Oscar cornrows.
But no. It had to be "Rapid Beaver" Stone. That probably inadvertent nickname is just genius, on so many levels.
Posted by: maria | Mar 28, 2008 12:14:09 PM
Sharon should just plain know better. Juliette is a "rocker", kinda kooky, and who really cares what she wears. But LaStone?? She should (and used to) do better. Even my husband agrees that is the clincher in these really tough "Sweet 16" clashes. Enough said.
Posted by: Kathy | Mar 28, 2008 12:21:37 PM
This one was so hard I had to go back through the archives. And it was a journey that should have been aided by likker. Not "liquor," but likker. Jeez. In the end I cast my vote for La Stone, because although Juliette works a powerful mojo for fug, Sharon is the Fug Mama. The Variety of elements: hair, makeup, shoes, clothes, and (oh my God!) furs. The Variety of occasions: award ceremonies, office parties, and just walking down the casual street. The Variety of body parts left to, well, hang out with all of us, so to speak. Juliete is crazy, but she is devoted to Rocker Chick-Super Hero crazy. Sharon covers it ALL!
Posted by: G-Ex | Mar 28, 2008 12:26:45 PM
No! It has to be Juliette. Ms Stone can be seen to be entering a diva-esque mid life crisis. The "rock chick" excuse doesn't work. Juliette eclipses even Fergie!

Seriously. Sharon is wearing that to the ***golden globes***, an event which in theory actually demands taste and red carpet glamor. Juliette is wearing her loony outfits to her own loony rock events. The first is clearly the greater crime of fug.

I don't know about anyone else, but I made the same face as the glorious Ms. Juliette in that picture when trying to figure out who to choose. I wonder if she was having a tough time choosing between Beyonce and J Lo. Since the choice was so hard, I went with the fugtastic Juliette only for the simple fact that we make the same faces.

Sharon Stone, hands down.
Sweetpeas, don't you remember the wind-tunnel hair, PASTEL purple eyeshadow, and glittery butterfly apliques? Hmmm? You do, don't you. I'm sorry to make you relive that image. Here, have a cookie and make it all better.

I just can't decide on weather those two truly are loony, or attention-seekers. Hm. Stone might be the latter, and Lewis the former. She is a scientologist after all.

I think I'll vote on Stone anyway simply due to all the effing fur.

Juliette Lewis has random and directionless fug. Sharon Stone is organized fug; she's what fug wants to be when it grows up.

rapid. beaver. 2 words never summed up one person and her career so well. priceless. LMAO

Sharon Stone manages to be totally fabulous, even if she's fugging it up. I can laugh at her and rejoice in the fug.
Juliette is far too skanky, that plus the spandex and neon, that tipped my fug vote in her favor. She just makes me cringe, hence, the vote of fug.

Well, that and I have her up against Sienna Miller in the final four round - and I REALLY wanna see that competition! Woot!
Posted by: Cara | Mar 28, 2008 2:24:33 PM
I so wanted to vote for my fug girl Julliete because I love her and her wacky spandex, but You can't trump Sharon. Erin put it eloquently enough. She is what fug wants to be when it grows up....

I was REALLY hoping for Juliette to take on Fergie in the next round, but I cannot in good faith vote for her when Sharon Stone's NIPPLES are staring me in the face.

Stoned again. The bloody evening gown pushed me over, too.

Oh God........this was/is tough. I KNOW I should give it to Sharon....I LOVE Sharon. I love the pelt crazy, dominatrix. And I HATE her make-up. HATE. She always looks washed out, or like she has a wasting disease...
But then I saw Juliette's salute to Wonderwoman jumpsuit. It shorted my brain. When I recover, I'll vote for Sharon....IF I recover.....

I can't vote for Juliette. She seems incapable of doing anything but making br00tal scenester faces at the camera and thus, in my book, she is Trying Too Hard. Sharon it is.

Juliette is the grasshopper to Sharon's Mister Miyagi. Give her another twenty years to practice, and maybe then she will be ready to challenge the master.

This is the first fug face-off on which I would have declared a tie, should the opportunity have presented itself.
Posted by: Bida | Mar 28, 2008 3:58:06 PM
Shazza FTW! :D

If Juliette Lewis wins this I'm moving to Canada.
Posted by: kostia | Mar 28, 2008 5:15:36 PM
I just really, really REALLY hate Juliette Lewis. she has no talent. And she can't dress.
Posted by: Laura | Mar 28, 2008 5:27:23 PM
I agonized - AGONIZED - over this one. Sharon's tribute to "My Bloody Valentine" sent it over the edge. Juliette will have her day, rest assured.

This convinced me to vote for Juliette.
"But do we think Brad Pitt would've ended up doing all the relief work and adopting or fathering a Benetton ad's worth of beautiful babies if he'd decided to betrothe himself to this woman?"
That's Pulitzer prize winning in my opinion! Loved re-reading that!

i love juliette lewis. her clothes may be outrageous sometimes, but they are entertaining, which is their purpose. she ROCKS.
sharon stone is old and desperate.
Posted by: Becca | Mar 28, 2008 7:36:08 PM
I just want to use "rapid beaver" in conversation.
Posted by: Kari | Mar 28, 2008 9:18:21 PM
I don't know what it is about that white with red dress of Sharon Stone's, the one that seems to have survived a GWAR concert, but I love it. It's like a car wreck on the freeway, I think. I can't look away, no matter how much it makes me cringe. On the strength of that dress alone, I think she'd win, but she's got a LIFETIME of crazy to back it up.
Poor Juliette. The fierce face really only works on stage.

Oh my! I was so hoping to see a fug-off between Bai Ling and Juliette Lewis!
Sharon Stone, though ... she's scary. If she doesn't win, she might, I don't know, grab an ice pick?
Posted by: ClaudesMom | Mar 28, 2008 9:44:30 PM
Someone said Sharon Stone was "mutton dressed as lamb". I beg to differ. Sharon Stone is mutton dressed as wolf.
Beside her, Juliette comes off as just a misguided blind rebel.
