Background . . . all the votes were in for our first FRU contest. Took me considerable time to tally, because I wanted to repeat some of the hilarious banter as well. But it was not hard to determine the winner....even at first glance it was obvious! 
Sheeps
Well, here we go.....the winner of Russell's Most Hideous Outfit . . . . . .
The Elvis in the Moo Jacket Look! ! Congratulations Sarony! !
It wasn't even close, Ladies' This one gets it hands down. Some of the accompanying comments were hysterical. It was referred to by a variety of names, such as....
Cow jacket with nasty sunglasses
Sarony says that, along with her other nomination, it "seered my retinas.." Snoot is concerned, "I thought he LOVED cows....maybe just his own." One poor Perchette summed it up for all of us, "That pic is so bad, I had to turn away...".
Let's just say, I referred to it simply as MOOO on my tally sheet, and knew exactly what I meant. Out of 25 voters, 12 voted this as their first choice! 3 more had it as their second.
Russ, Baby, lose the hoof duds! ! !
We had a total 16 nominations. Plus Debm wrote an ode to Russell's bad choices. A few people found they were horrified by the nominations, but really had to step outside them to add the usual shorts/trainers/flannel combo.
Second place in the First Choice category is tied 3 ways, between "Pimp with Purple Hat and Versace Knockoff Shirt" and the Tweetie suit, both from Arian, and my own White Belt and Gun.
On the Pimp pic: Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, used the word "pimp" as part of their description.
Tweetie suit - Drew a lot of attention. Variously referred to as "canary suit" , Tweetie, and Associate's colorful "Easter Egg meets Minnesota Vikings meets Tweetie Bird". That about sums it up. Rowan had a special message for Russ about the sin of yellow and purple, " Purple and yellow are colours that should only ever be combined in flower beds! " Good rule.
White Belt - Personally, I could hardly get past the electric print on the shirt to notice the belt. I didn't see the gun until someone else mentioned it. It looks like Angie Dickinson. God. As Rowan says, " The white belt affair defeats description..."

FRU contest #1 - We have a WINNER! ! !
Elvis Cow shirt thing
Elvis killed my cow
Elvis mooooo jacket
HONORABLE MENTION goes to : Zee J for her wonderful jump/silver shirt/leather pants. Although this one didn't get a single vote for your first choice, it drew a lot of comments! Like the Moo Jacket, you didn't know quite what to call it:
White men can jump
Jumpin Jack Flash
Etc.
Honorable mention, BTW, was a close category! Several pics got one vote less than our winner, including:
Elvis/Moo ( what a surprise! )
Debm's green suit "with Vatican accessories" - one Perchette laments "you don't put a rosary around your NECK, Russell! "
And the truly retina-searing contribution from Minime - The White Suit/Barefoot combo. The hair seemed the most shocking to us - as Flannel Fan articulates so beautifully - " What is with that HAIR? ? ? First attempt at mousse? Hairdryer attack? "
AND SO....second place in this category is a three-way tie!
To sum it up? ? We felt strongly about using cows' fur on a jacket. AND
Hmmm...." Kind of like those scared straight programs..."
dream...." I wonder sometimes if maybe he isn't color blind? "
Arian....." I will never mock flannel again? "
