Ugly is a collection of ugly pictures, writing, and film. It addresses a range of ugliness, primarily including things that fall on either side of this spectrum.

The main goal is to discover things that are unintentionally and thus genuinely ugly.

Poor kid.  Though it may just represent the bar set by The Standard’s editors. Article here, but photo only in the PDF version and the old-timey printpaper. Posted by Matt Carman.

I really have no idea what they thought they were doing.  Near one of the ferry piers in Hong Kong.

If you go to the Big Buddha on top of the mountains of Lantau Island in Hong Kong, you can write a little wish for Buddha to grant (though “Please make backwards swastikas look less like regular swastikas, it’s still creepy” was not one of them).  While most were generic pleas for world peace and a little protection from swine flu, some of them were for nice things (see first one below), and some were obviously written by white colonizers (see other two). It’s either MONEY or BONEY, and who wouldn’t want a little more of either? Posted by Matt Carman

(ebay) Someone needs to buy these pants! They are ridiculously ugly, but if you ever go to Eastern Europe you will have men fall all over you at the village discotheque, I promise. Also, if you ever wore them to the beach, you could end up with a really cool tan! Posted by Ksen.

Ugly you can wear - the headwear edition: Antler Headpiece (made to order!) / BoringSidney / $265 Flower Bathing Cap / iheartrecords / currently at $15 - ends in 2 days Bald Eagle Hat / herediana / $175 Plush Squid Hat/Pillow / ObeyMyBrain / $50 These are all great, but the bald eagle hat is probably my favorite. Unfortunately, I can’t think of an appropriate occasion to wear it. Also I don’t have the cash. Nonetheless, someone should buy these! Posted by Ksen.

lookatthisfuckinghipster: “If we find like ten more cats, we can totally sew them all together to make such an ugly dress.” I resisted for a while, but I kind of love the look at this fucking hipster Tumblr. It’s full of gems like this. Posted by Ksen.

Further evidence that American Apparel wants women to look like slutty 8th graders from the 80’s. Upcoming products include neon scrunchies AND ass-less tights. Why? Why can’t they just stick with soft cotton hoodies and leggings in primary colors. Posted by Ksen.
