Just me being me. Or, how I'm learning to love the eternal mystery/paradox/craziness that is otherwise known as my brain. "We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty." - Joss Whedon

"Go look in the mirror, and leave me alone!"
Would "fantastically ugly" fly?
It may not be exactly right, but here's what the ladies from GoFugYourself.com say it means:
Go Fug Yourself
gofugyourself.typepad.com
Launched: July, 2004
Revenue: Estimated $6,240 a month based on ad rates and self-reported traffic data
Last year, this blog, devoted to ridiculing celebrity fashion, made enough money through ad sales that its two authors, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, quit their television industry jobs so they could mock full-time. The Los Angeles-based duo insists that the blog's title uses the verb form of "fantastically ugly," their term of art for stars' over-the-top outfits. The mechanics are simple: They take celebrity photos from a wire service, add snarky comments about the getups, and click "publish." The result? Some 3.5 million unique visitors a month, a book coming out in February, and two full-time jobs. All the ads are sold through Blogads. One week of a bare-bones text ad starts at $60, and deluxe banners top $3,000. Cocks says what started as a goofy joke between friends three years ago has become a successful company: "Suddenly our inside joke was turning into a business, and it caught us completely by surprise."
