What's the World without a few Nuts :-) At least you have a REAL job unliek those who make up that nonsense.
Just plain boring folks hating you for having the courage to be yourself, Ling. Ask them; Have they ever faced down an army to protest oppression and to try to gain the ability to act and be free? I'd guess... not. You have. So dress however you want, act however you want, and tell the judgmental idiots to get bent. Some of us "get it." The rest of them define us by contrast. The poor sods. Pity them...
Looks like you're back in the studio. Whazzup with that?

Dear Ling ka,
Did you win from the moon or on earth? :) I saw the site, I agree I think he likes you too much....in a crazy person kind of way.
Forget it. You have a wonderful expressive heart- artist to the core. That is a very good thing.
It happened again, a good Heart is the triumph.
Fug is that some kind of soup, people can eat?
Bai Ling, those fuggin' Fug Yourself folks can go well fug themselves, for all we care.
Fug them and the horse they rode in on.
They wouldn't know real talent or soul or sexy if it fuggin' hit them over the head with a fuggin' . . . oh, what's the word, I don't know, some heavy hard thing that oughta get folks attention.
Folks with sense know that those who can, act,
those that can't act, put up celebrity websites and make money off the ones with the real talent and soul and sexy who CAN act.
BTW, when you were on the moon, did you see happen to see Chang'E (a/k/a Chang-o)?
I know I am dating myself here, but your recent trip to the moon brought to mind a conversation between the Houston Mission Control and the crew of Apollo 11 crew just prior to the first moon landing.
* * *
Houston: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning there's one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit.
An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for 4000 years.
It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the pill for immortality from her husband.
You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is only standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree.
The name of the rabbit is not recorded.
Collins: Okay, we'll keep a close eye for the bunny girl.

I'm kind of surprised at the hostile reaction of some of these commenters. Bai Ling seems happy to have won, why can't you just be happy for her instead of making rude personal attacks on the people at the other site?
It reflects more poorly on YOU than on them that you choose to react this way.
Camille, according to the subject site itself, "fug" stands for fucking (or, to borrow their clever euphemism "fantastically" ugly.
In my book "ugly" is an ugly word, so I tend to react in an ugly fashion to people who make money making fun of other people while calling those people ugly.
Furthermore, in view of the fact that the site's name is "fug youself," it would appear reasonable to construe that this is what the site authors are suggesting the subjects of their articles should do.
Also, it is a fundamental principle of linguistic interpretation to give words their plain and commonly accepted meaning.
Unless the connotative universe has completely imploded upon itself while I was asleep, and "fucking ugly" and "fuck yourself" are now to be interpreted as kind and complimentary appellatives, I would stand by my initial reaction to their deployment in the direction of our Beloved Bai Ling.
Although certainly it is possible to construe "ugly" and "fuck yourself" as kind-hearted expressions of affection for one's fellow human beings, I think most reasonable people would construe these words as oh-so-sophisticated and cutting edge manifestations of plain, old-fashioned hate speech.
Also, just because Bai Ling has enough grace to rise above these fuggin' punks, doesn't necessarily mean she enjoys being made the object of their adolescent ridicule.
Still waiting for your call, did you lose my number? Did you forget our conversation? Our meeting before you flew off to New Mexico? Holly weird it is! Hope you are enjoying yourself and are glad to be back in LA. You can always contact me through my Blog it might jog your memory my muse. Much Sunshine and Warmth for you!
Congratulations Bai ling! I hope Ian K. got an award too.
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey stalkers!
You should dress more appropriate for your age. Just sayin'. You ain't down.
I just checked out their blog too and I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE your outfits. Keep doing your own thing :) Hey, imagine what the writers look like? haha
Well sweet Jesus, I had never heard of this award before, so I take it it's not a good one to be in or win? Well whatever the outcome I still think you're a hottie, Bai so hope you take it with stride! Congrats and oh I almost forgot to mention I just found out you were in Sky Captain, LOVE THAT MOVIE! and your character RAWWKED! thought you'd wanna know! Later.
Just keep being your beautiful, unique self. That's what we like about you. :)
....Whatever the prof said!
Hi Sweetheart....... It's an old story, my Dear. What we have here is a jerk who is sitting in a very small room, pulling on a very small wee-wee and wishing he knew how the Hell to make the $$$$ that you make.....
LuvYa
just like you

hmmmmm... larrabee??

Posting from the Fug Madness site: hostile posters, you may be missing the point of the site.
GFY is a site that celebrates bad, bizarre, and unconventional fashion from celebrities -- and while you may not think Bai Ling's fashion is bad or bizarre, it's certainly unconventional.
The reason Bai Ling beat celebrities like Chloe Sevigny and Posh Spice is because we genuinely love to hear from Bai Ling. While we get tired of their pretensions, we can't wait to see what Bai Ling wears next, and we admire the fun she seems to have wearing her unique styles on the red carpet.
Believe me, it's very much a vote of affection. GFY *loves* Bai Ling, unironically and wholeheartedly. She's like a fun, zany relative you hear from a few times a year.
And before anyone thinks that we're calling Bai Ling ugly, read the comments though the competition: we very much acknowledge that Bai Ling is quite stunning, and there's no way anyone with a less impressive physique could pull off Bai Ling's kind of style.
Sample FUG YOURSELF BAI LING Excerpts:
"This is our girl as nature intended: smiling, finding creative ways to circumvent a top that appears designed not to show any boob, and overall looking like she leapt out of the pages of a Dr. Seuss book. We wouldn't be at all shocked if her first call from inside the pokey went to her ex-boyfriend . . ."
"What the police aren't considering is that maybe Personality #3 picked up the magazines and batteries Bai allegedly filched, and then right as she was getting in line to pay, Personality #13 burst to the fore and thought, "God, I need a lemon poppyseed muffin and a latte, 'ERE I DIE," and marched the host body straight out of the newsagent and toward Starbucks."
"The point is, don't you want to KNOW? Don't you NEED to know? Does she have a long-suffering best friend who secretly wants to take her to The Gap and teach her about breathable fabrics? Is her housekeeper constantly picking up sequins off the floor? Are she and Paula Abdul secret pals, being the only two people in the world who could possibly comprehend each other? Does she have a dog that she dresses up in Hanes t-shirts and Wranglers?
So many questions. I think we deserve answers. Bai Ling is fertile ground, people, and we owe it to ourselves to plow it silly."
* * *
Boy, do I feel stupid.
And here I was thinking the FUG YOURSELF folks were riding the Schadenfreude Express to instant affluence by holding Bai Ling and other celebrities up to public ridicule for commercial gain.
Orwell was right. Up really is down.
:)
Chloe Sevigny rocks.
Good morning,
I was walking out and Kevin Costner was walking in with a bad day look on his face of a store. I really don't remember witch store it was, because when I looked back, as he, in his expression he said, forget about it. I did until today, but in this instance it is good to forget.
I subcribe to four wheel drive mag (Rick Pewe) so I really not up on FYI and that sounds like a sit com, isn't it?
cATHY D
I wonder how many have seen your sick and depraved Blog? Are you a self sustaining, self promoting victim of child abuse(in the way of money making charitites) are you trying to be cool by being SICK? You are twisted dog shit worthy of rape by niggers and other such less life forms!
I hope life finds a way to kill you.
omg don't criticize MY art and then use racial slurs in the same sentence you ugly fuck.
what you said is uglier than anything i ever did, you dumb bigot.
my blog is a tribute!
"Professor," you are so literal-minded that I'm getting a migraine. If you are incapable of understanding the brilliant goofiness of Go Fug Yourself, then you are even less intelligent than you made yourself appear in your comments of 4/21/08 (Bai Ling's lewd dagger post). Please note: the word is "polysemantic," though you seem to think it's "Polly Semantic" (a Schoolhouse Rock character designed to aid beginning Linguistics students with their homework, perhaps?). Apparently you are also too feeble to spell "inscrutable" or capitalize "Freudian." If you're determined to post pretentious, humorless crap, at least ask a friend with a semi-decent grasp of written English to review your work before you click the "publish" button.
Note to frank90291: Go Fug Yourself is written by two young women, not a wanker fetishist like you.
terribly sorry bout the bad play on words there, bertie,
actually i was pleasantly pleased with my "Polly Semantic" creation, though.
I was even so sanguine and panglossian (oops, Panglossian) as to envision for a blithe moment a feature film series chronicling the wild misadventures of my heroine, pretty Miss Polly Semantic, accompanied by her daring but devious cohort of ambiguously conceived colleagues, Mean Mr. Morpheme and Phony Phil Phoneme.
as far as my dyzkrapitalizing freud and myspellin inskrutable though, you are absolutely right.
those acts were gouche, unnkouth and holy unfurgiveable, and i do stand appropriately chasteyezed and chagreened.
i have always felt kapitalization konventions to be as oppressive and arbitrary as neo-kristian orthographik dogma, promulgated virtually without exception by a pack of overweening grammar-nazis determined to kram their unsolicitated and ridiculous strictures down the throats of an unoffending happy heathen populace whose genetic capacity for infinite variation in grammatically meaningful utterances will continue to unfold and express itself over time, despite, and not because of, their officious and/or meddlesome interference.
sort of my attitude toward fashion nazis, btw.
do i even *dare* to publish? what if the grammar nazis are watching? should i kapitalize nazi?
oh fuck it . . .
Professor, your response made me laugh--thanks. I must say, however, that the women who write Go Fug Yourself are a far cry from "fashion nazis." I'm sorry that you don't appreciate that site and the endless joy its readers took in Fug Madness.
I really thought that Chloe Sevigny deserved to win because she not only dresses in an aggressively unappealing way but also aspires to be a designer and has foisted a hideous collection upon the public. She always looks angry and bitter, as well, which doesn't help. Bai Ling, on the other hand, really does seem to be enjoying herself when she wears things that can only be called "clothing" in the loosest sense of the term. That makes her bizarre choices more charming.
Since you clearly fancy yourself an iconoclast, I urge you not to dismiss Go Fug Yourself so quickly. Give it another shot.
hi bertie,
please don't get me wrong. i really have nothing against the Go Fug Yourself ("GFY") folks. to each his own (or in this case, her own), i always say.
i guess fashion nazis is a little harsh, but certainly fashion police is accurate.
i mean, isn't that the whole point of the site - ferreting out examples of odd manifestations of celebrity dress or behavior and then making funny comments about them?
not being of the distaff persuasion, it is not the type of site i would generally even notice, much less frequent, except that when i type Bai Ling into my browser it is the first thing that pops up, right next to her blog.
again, it's not that i have anything against the GFYers, it's just that i feel it is a little disingenuous to pretend that GFY is a "tribute site" for people like Bai Ling, when it is obvious as a supercillious sneer that the whole point of the site is for folks to get their collective jollies out of ridiculing oddly-dressed celebrities.
Just revise the comments from the GFY phans, in which they are all going on about how they "nearly died laughing" looking at this celebrity's outfit or that celebrity's outfit.
I mean, certainly I am glad if it makes some folks happy and all, but trying to make out as if GFY is some noble, elevated or sublime enterprise is a really a bit of a stretch.
But honestly, I do understand that deep down the GFY people mean the celebs no real harm. After all, GFY depends on the celebs for its very existence, doesn't it?
It's a bizarre symbiotic ecology, somewhat akin to the behavior of the Ocellaris clownfish that peacefully live out their lives flitting merrily between the tentacles of the Riterri sea anemone.
The clownfish, of course, are absolutely vital to the anemone, because they protect the anemone from their fish predators, while the anemone in turn provide a safe aquatic refuge in which the clownfish can hide and do whatever it is that clownfish do to while away the live-long day.
On second thought, maybe that really isn't the most apt analogy.
Anyway, it's really all good, in the end, I suppose.
:)
Hi, Professor.
You're absolutely right: GFY is not "some noble, elevated or sublime enterprise"--nor does it aspire to be anything of the kind. It's a blog, not the fragments of pre-Socratic philosophers. It is, above all, a great way to waste time at work :).
What most GFY detractors don’t seem to understand is that Hollywood stylists (who should, in theory, "know better") are often the true targets of the authors' remarks. Much of the site is concerned with the puzzling choices made by stylists. Fashion designers beg celebrities to wear their various creations on the red carpet, top jewelers lend their most dazzling bling, and hair and make-up artists spend hours crafting the final looks. When all of this effort yields results as hideous as some of those featured on GFY, it's interesting to consider where it all went so horribly, horribly wrong. I tend to feel sorry for the celebrities who have spent weeks starving themselves, days being depilated, exfoliated, and spray-tanned, and hours being propped, taped, and shoved into uncomfortable get-ups...all to wind up looking like their worst enemies have dressed them!
GFY is more punitive and far less amusing when the authors critique candid shots of celebrities running errands around town. Who ever looks his or her best on a Haagen-Dazs run?
Jesus Christ, you Bai Ling fans are morons.
GFY does not snark Bai's talent. They don't even snark her face. They simply snark the fact that A BLIND SENSORY-IMPAIRED BADGER PICKS HER CLOTHES OUT FOR HER.
It's not like they're snarking something she can't HELP or anything. Because she could learn how to coordinate and how not to be three-quarters naked at all times in public. She just doesn't want to. And we all like giggling at what she leaves the house in. She's happy wearing it, we're happy to laugh at it, and you fantards ought to just shut up and go back to fapping over cut scenes from Star Wars.
Idiots.
Don't get me wrong, the ladies of GFY often have spiteful things to say about tacky celebrities, but they adore Bai & her wacky antics.
Learn grammar.
If you researched GFY at all, you would see that the site is all in good fun, the girls actually make fun of themselves quite a bit, AND they regularly give props to those whose fashions they like. They do not make fun of talent (or lack thereof).
Surely the sun is out in at least one of your respective countries, go outside! Wind and sunshine are lovely.
I say if Bai can understand and be happy about what the award is for, then so can you. Obviously the GFY satire/fun is not for the uninitiated/uninterested, or maybe everyone needs to take a deep breath and step back from the computer! I mean, you're reading the blog of someone you don't know, and getting offended on her behalf for a non-physically-tangible award she received on the internet...
Sheesh.
I think you're quite awesome, Bai.
People can't figure you out, and that, dear Bai, is a GOOD thing.
:)
If it wasn't for GFY, I'd have no idea who Bai Ling was.
Ponderous
So, um, your socks in that picture are super cool.
However, I would really like to know what exactly it is you do? If not for the GFY girls, I wouldn't know, so I guess you can thank them for increasing your fame!
xa
You dress ridiculously. Perhaps it's stylish on the moon. No, seriously "go fug yourself" is just a lot of fun. And anyway, who doesn't need some fashion advice? But they secretly love a ground breaker.
It is sweeping up my fluffy soul bouncing down streets of sweet feeling. If Fug is triumph, Bai is flowery sparkle of pinkness spilling all over her striped socks. Is it?
I Fug in the bitter depth of my blue soul, and emerge in light and happy.
Why you ask? For the pleasures.
Fashion! Lighten up, it's just fashion!
Fashion! Lighten up, it's just fashion!
I agree with Bertie--I don't understand how anyone with the most basic grasp on humor can NOT see the affection and good nature plainly present in the GFY posts about Bai Ling. They are teasing, sure, but it's friendly teasing. Bai Ling herself seems quite aware of it and responded in kind.
And yeah, the authors of that blog are two quite attractive young women, who very much have a real job.
GFY is a site in good humour. And seriously, Bai Ling wears some...unconventional clothes. If she's comfortable with going out in public as somebody who KNOWS she will be photographed by media, then all the power to her - but at the same time those who are her devoted fans should realize that she will be critiqued and given the attention that, as it seems to me, she so blatantly asks for.
