Best of the Perch - Russell Crowe Fans

The First Official FRU Contest....
a.k.a Russell's Most Hideous Outfits

Background . . .
To FRU - for a seasoned Perchette, a skill that involves sending a photo through cyberspace to be displayed inside a message board thread. ( For further explanation about the evolution of this verb, see the archives at the Perch...)

One night we were all lamenting Russell's taste in clothing, and Cindy posted a horrible FRU sight, Enough said! After we all had recovered our senses, someone proposed that to lighten the mood, we all find the worst outfit FRUs we could. It turned into one bloody contest. The pictures themselves tell the story best . . .

OFFICIAL - FRU contest thread!!

Let's put 'em here, so people ( like me ! ) aren't frantically scrolling trying to find them! We can discuss them and vote elsewhere?

Sheeps, taking the initiative before it's Fruday. Hope that's okay!

RUSSELL - We do think you're sexy Darlin', whatever you wear, or don't wear ...

Re: My Official Entry for FRUfest

Personal "dis"favorite - and the lack of footwear adds just that certain something...

My nominee

Check out the rings on this one - especially the ring that doesn't even fit - hand on top of the couch - and is he wearing TWO shirts or what? ? And on top of everything else, a wretched cigar - GAK!

Re: Entry #2

No such collection would be complete without the moooooo jacket. Looks like it was just taken off the hoof. YIKES! Where are the fashion police when you need them? And what's up with those bugly sunglasses and hair? Elvis wannabe? I love Russ, but the guy needs help. Makes my eyes burn just to look at it!

Re: My second...

Babzee! You took the words out of my mouth, and to get the full perspective, Russ Le Roq as Antonio Banderes!

Tough choice, wasn't it Babs?

Re: My second...

ROFL - Antonio Banderas! Brings to mind the "I wanted to do Maximus as Antonio Banderas with Better Elocution" quote! LOL - I'm glad he settled for "Royal Shakespearian two pints after lunch (with large doses of Strine) " instead!

Re: OFFICIAL - FRU contest thread! !

PG and Zee ( sounds like a software company or something! ) GREAT nominee, but he looks more like WOLVERINE ( Hugh Jackman's character in The X-men ) than like the lovely Hugh.

Small Hugh FRU

He's a cutie patootie!

Here he is as Wolvie -

Re: Thank you ZeeJ.....

Well, it's probably a damn good thing I can't fru. My eyes are already hurting and my stomach is queasy. Every time I scrolled I said, Yea, that's the worst, no, that one is worse, no that one is REALLY worse, no, no, I think it's that one....I will search my immense "ahem" files of Russ pics and see if I can locate a different one.
