:Go Fug Yourself

The authors and owners of the blog are writers Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, who met when they were working as recappers for the website Television Without Pity, then known as Mighty Big TV.[http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/Shows/Mondo-Extras/Stories/The-Fug-Girls-Interview "The Fug Girls Interview"], Television Without Pity, March 6, 2008. Accessed March 7, 2008. Morgan and Cocks initially created the site as a diversion for themselves and their friends, but it quickly became popular and well known.

Each March, in an homage to the NCAA "March Madness" basketball tournament, Morgan and Cocks present a tournament featuring those celebrities deemed to have made the worst fashion faux pas in the previous calendar year. Each match-up is presented as a poll in which readers can vote on which celebrity has made "fuglier" fashion choices. The inaugural 2008 tournament was won by Bai Ling, who defeated Victoria Beckham in the final match. Subsequent winners have included Aubrey O'Day (2009), Amber Rose (2010), Taylor Momsen (2011), Vanessa Hudgens (2012), Justin Bieber (2013), Miley Cyrus (2014), Kim Kardashian (2015, 2016), Keke Palmer (2017), Bella Thorne (2018), Rita Ora (2019), and Dascha Polanco (2020).

Morgan and Cocks co-authored The Fug Awards, which features a number of "honors" offered to the worst offenders in celebrity fashion, along with commentary similar to that found on the site. The book was released on February 6, 2008.
