The "Fug Girls", as they are known, use their weblog to ridicule and satirize a variety of fashion disasters, whether by established stars or by starlets. Among the celebrities frequently appearing in the blog are Maggie Gyllenhaal, Courtney Love, Kevin Federline, Bai Ling, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Bobby Trendy, Courtney Peldon, and Ashley Peldon. Additionally, the blog regularly features the questionable style choices of celebrities who are often lauded as fashion icons in the mainstream media, such as Sienna Miller, Chloë Sevigny, and Mary-Kate Olsen.
The authors' use of the word "Fug" is discussed at length in the Go Fug Yourself FAQ. They sum it up by stating that "Fugly ... is a self-inflicted state, and no one seems to excel at dwelling in the depths of fug quite like pretty people with money to spare and little sense of how to spend it." Commonly, "fugly" is believed to be a combination of the words "fucking ugly", although the authors claim it is a combination of "fantastically ugly."

Famous quotes containing the words content of, content and/or site:
“Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
—Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
