Trading Down?
As news ricocheted through the fashion world that Kate Moss has just been dropped from her Agent Provocateur modelling contract and replaced by a 20-year old called Alice Dellal, I realized we were on the wave of a new trend that kicked off with Amy Winehouse's Crack Chic look and has been gathering momentum ever since.
Now, I know some people think Kate's too thin, and maybe she is, but I think her bone structure is to die for and that she's really beautiful. Not that I think that Ms Dellal shouldn't have got the contract. But she's - well - yes, she has a strong look, but well, how shall I put this, she's not as pretty is she?
No, I think there's definately a trend for edgier, uglier looking people on the fashion/celebrity scene. And Ugly Modelling Agencies are popping up like pimples on a chin. And frankly, I say if these people can make money by looking, er, unique, then good luck to them.
Who would have thought that an odd-looking bird like actress Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi and Bruce, would ever grace the red carpet? It was pretty unfortunate that she got none of Demi's va-va-voom and plenty of Bruce's chin and then some (maybe he had a gay affair with Desperate Dan)?

But she's working it. Her fugly look is working for her and she's getting noticed:
Fugly Fashions
I am, frankly, confused about the new fugly fashions sweeping the runways. Parents of teenagers are probably very excited as these outfits would reduce any sexy Lolita to a girl who no man would want to touch with a ten foot pole. I'm pretty sure these fashions were designed by those crack pots who run organisations like Born Again Virgins - make yourself pure by donning black woollen socks and formless smocks.
So what do you reckon, are ugly people finally going to get their fifteen minutes of fame? I think, maybe, but that, alas, it's just a fashion trend ....

This is the moment I've been waiting for - perhaps ear and nose hair will FINALLY be in.
moobs...I'm sure it will be and it will be dyed green and pink. Yes, this will be the trend for summer 2009 - so no need to trim it Moobsy!
Seriously? I think Kate's replacement looks like a boy.
I don't get it. But then again, I didn't get 90's grunge either...
People who do the fashions are morons, everybody knows that!
i might just take advantage and ride this fugly wagon all the way to the bank. i can look just as bad in these clothes as those bitches.
Fugly as fetish... not good. Makes it a carnival rather than encouraging people to accept who they are and what they look like. Though I have to say Rumer has one helluva chin. It's strangely hypnotic.
Oooh, Id give anything to be the person ringing all the supermodules up to tell them they're being replaced on the runway by a fugly.
'Hello, Naomi...you're out, bitch. We're going with Penelope Picasso-Face this season. Get your skinny black ass outta here, skank...'
Fingers - I believe that is actually what British Airways said to Naomi just the other week...
At least before, unknowns at least had pretty to hold onto if the wanted a chance at big time modelling. Now it seems that it's another thing you have to have famous parents for...even if you have questionable looks.
Hello Pixie Geldof!
Time to celebrate me thinks! I'm no fan of the skanky crack whore look, though it is at least cheaper and more readily available to most than catwalk fashion. Here's hoping that using 'different' looking people might move us away from the only accepted beauty being blonde, brash and inflatable!
Well, I can dream!! Bendy Girl
Whilst I agree with BG in theory, I cant see them selling much with adverts featuring some of those models. We want normal people without enhancements but not freaky looking examples.
You could be onto something Emma, I heard Peter York saying that ugly will be the new pretty. Didn't Klaus Kinski have a strange magnetic power over women, especially when he played Nosferatu?
15 minutes of fame? I'm hoping only for 15 seconds!
karen.....I think Kate's replacement looks like a boy.
I think we just have to face facts that we are no longer 'with it' and don't understand what the kids are into these days.
sparsely kate...
You are right, fashion is the biggest rip off known to man - I get most of my clothes at thrift stores and am pleased if I can get 'designer' clothes for a hundredth of the price tag that some mugs pay.
Kara...
ride this fugly wagon all the way to the bank.
you work it baby! Let your pubic hair grow down to your knees and don't wash your clothes. That's what's in these days.
Steve...
Though I have to say Rumer has one helluva chin. It's strangely hypnotic.
That's what I think. Now I can't get her mug/chin out of my head. She is certainly memorable. But not in a good way.
fingers...

Can't you just do that prank call and record it and put it up on your blog, pleeeeeeese?
Also I reckon you're secretly pleased that fugly is in because you're fugly yourself....just cos you said you looked like Buscemi ya know
sparsely kate...
British Airways said to Naomi just the other week...
good. let's hope that's the last time she throws her cell phone at a PA's head.
Misssy M...
Hello Pixie Geldof!
I just read that she prefers vinyl to CDs and iPods..
how pretentious! it's like if I said I listen to all my tunes on a gramophone.
BenefitScroungingScum...
here here...Fuglies will one day inherit the earth!!
having my cake...
Maybe those ugly models play the 'before' people in lipo and face lift commercials?
Gorilla Bananas...
One of the most intriguing things about the human race is how the hideous Klaus Kinski produced such an otherworldly beauty as Natassja?
Vi...isn't blogging everyone's 15 secs of fame?
I kinda look like Bruce Willis but with a train driver's uniform.
Does this make me fugly ?
Will I be in demand ? I'll sit by the phone and await my call.
electro-kevin....Bruce is smokin hot, his daughter's a fugly...but you don't really look like him do you?
Don't worry, I'm sure you drive all the grannies wild in your uniform ;)
I think you underestimate men: if she's a model, it doesn't matter how fugly her outfit is, we'd nail her.
The picture with the model in the middle looks like she could be an extra in the new Harry Potter films. I so agree but I like your humer on the parents side. Too funny. But I guess not everyone can look good and there are parts for them.
Fugly...good one. Hey, can I get some of Amy's teeth? I want to use them for a new celebrity crack ho necklace line I'm developing. I have an exclusive with Tatum O'Neil already...
I have to say that I think that Kate Moss is a fucking munter of the highest order.
I wouldn't shag her with Fingers' dick!
. . . I'd let her blow me though.
maybe i don't need to wax then....
OK, I'm probably more Desperate Dan than Bruce Willis. Here I am looking pissed off.

I am starting a fashion for long dangly foreskins and for weird wrinkly..
my opinion is that these people don't have REAL friends...you know the ones that when you ask them if you look good they ACTUALLY tell you the TRUTH and no you don't always look good and having someone care enough about you to tell you is something money cannot buy...i have always felt a little sad for movie stars etc who go out in terrible looking outfits because i know they don't have one real friend to count on...it is quite sad...
Thanks for the smoking pic.
This Fugly thing is just another predicted fashion trend that won't happen. Look at how long that BBW trend lasted. Or did it even start?
If this Fugly thing catches on, then we will have an answer to that minefield of a question: "Does this dress make my ass look big?"
Who you calling fugly ??
You're fifteen minutes just expired, Emmak...
Dear Alice Dellal: Flock of Seagulls called. They want their look back.
inchy....I'm sure she would be honored to suck such a prestigous knob.
mutley the dog....
I predict that long dangly foreskin earrings will be in next summer!
rocco tool
Thanks for the smoking pic.
you kill me man. That picture turned you on just because she was smoking even those she's fugly....I mean come on, there are limits to this smoking fetish aren't there? I mean would a pic of Barbara Bush smoking do it for you too?
fingers....hey baby, chill....I just asked if you were fugly. Why don't you post a pic with the eyes xed out so we can see just how cute you really are?
Well Emms, she's only human.
I blame in part the Unilever company, and
1) The Slimfast ads with the fat chicks and the token fat dude dancing; and,
2) The Dove ads with the fat chicks.
Then Hanes started doing those Comfort Bra ads.
I liked it better when women were uncomfortable and H@WT!
"are ugly people going to get their fifteen minutes of fame?"
As long as it IS only fifteen minutes.
I know......I can talk!
I've always held firm to the notion that models aren't necessarily beautiful, just photogenic. I hold firm to that belief because I'm one of the least photogenic people on the planet, and if I thought I actually looked the way I appear in film, I'd have to do something desperate.
Emmak.
That Apostolos geezer - had to be a chef didn't he. I bet the unsold pies don't last long in his kitchen!
ratty's ghost...
I bet the unsold pies don't last long in his kitchen!
absolutely, but I'd look exactly the same if I worked in a cake shop. I'm a total cake whore.
If fugly people become more attractive when wearing beer goggles, what is the effect on beautiful people? Do they appear fugly or become outrageously beautiful? I often wondered that as many of my beautiful female friends say they never get chatted up in night clubs.
One things for sure, I'd need seriously strong beer goggles to even consider doing Amy Winehouse.
Inferiority on the men's part, Midnight.
Too many rebuffs for it to be worth all the humiliation.
Nightclubs are crap places for finding a partner. Work or social clubs are far better. I should imagine the internet too but how would I know ?
Especially when I look like this.
midnight...
good idea, do Amy before she ODs. I believe she is what is known in common parlance as a 'double bagger.'
Regarding the effect on beautiful people with beer goggles I do remember sleeping with people good bad and otherwise and not having the slightest recollection of what they looked like the next day. Alcohol is indeed the great leveller.
electro-kevin....night clubs are also a bad place for pickups because it is dark and one is drunk and invariably the goods do not look quite so appetizing once one gets them home.
Speaking of rumors haerd Madonna bought a sex toy for her boyfriend and then she had to carry it out in a plastic bag. Then i seen the pictures guys just google it haha it was one of the ones we have in my sex shop at http:www.hotgvibe.com
