I cannot believe it, but the brilliant authors of the incredible Go Fug Yourself blog have for some reason consented to respond to a couple of questions here. Quickly, before they come to their senses, let me tell you a little bit about their work and why I strongly recommend that you should read GFY every day.

Go Fug Yourself a fashion blog that dishes on what the stars are wearing, and provides some sideways commentary on celebrity culture through the filter of last season’s leggings. Ew. I kind of regret that metaphor. From fabulous shoes to highly unfortunate trousers, skirts that don’t always qualify for the title, and Bai Ling (enough said), you don’t have to know Louboutins from Levis to enjoy the melee.

I’ve been reading their blog daily for eons and find it to be simply amazing how they keep it fresh day after day, red carpet after red carpet, pantless starlet after shapeless muumuu. They’re snarky, smart and sometimes scathing but never cruel. In short, a strong recommend.

And without further ado, here is the interview:

What’s the single most important sartorial error to avoid at all costs?

JESSICA: We always say, make sure it fits and covers your bits. Everything else is negotiable as long as what you’re wearing fits you properly, and your nipple isn’t popping out.

HEATHER: Amen.

HEATHER: I’d say, a pair of shoes that makes you feel sexy as hell and
like your legs are ten feet long.

HEATHER: Someone once told me that if you’re trying to hide something, baggy clothes are your worst enemy because they’ll just make it look like you’re hiding MORE than you actually are. And it’s absolutely true. Let the clothes follow the contours and curves of your body and it will always be more flattering than trying to hide your tummy in a tent.

HEATHER: Yep, I agree. Scrap the roadmap. Be open to anything, because the best things are the ones you didn’t see coming.

See? Aren’t they awesome?? I think this is the start of a theme, and so I invite you to suggest someone for me to interview, or to give a piece of advice yourself.
