It's the first night of Hanukkah, also Christmas Eve! Normally at this time I would be prepping to go to New York for the traditional Chinese food and a movie, but I have had too much travel this year and yet more coming up, so instead I am home on my couch with Chinese food, and that is also pretty OK.

Meanwhile, as we wait for the Yuletide archive to open, seems like it's a good time for another costume poll!

Last time, we actually ended up with a neck and neck tie between the two wardrobe extremes of Jeremy, a complicated man who contains multitudes:





The people love Prince Jeremy! The people also love weird yellow plaid-skirted hobo Jeremy.

But will the people also love ...

-- and while I was doing this, Yuletide came out! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE.

Some of you who were around here in 2011 may remember when I used to do tv fashion costume polls. I got all the way through sixteen episodes of my beloved flora-fedora-filled Capital Scandal and six episodes into You're Beautiful, the kdrama featuring a nun who joins the world's most amazingly-dressed boyband, before grad school proved to be enough of a timesuck that I gave up.

Well, it is a dark time, friends, and as a result, I have been rewatching You're Beautiful with tenillypo, and AS A RESULT, I think it is time -- half a decade later! -- that I finish what I began five years ago, because I personally feel I could use some quality time with some really astounding fashion and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

So ... now that you all have a sense of what you can expect, who's ready to THROW DOWN with You're Beautiful, episode 7?

And the ultimate most fabulous costume of You're Beautiful, Episode Seven is ...

Last time we had a You're Beautiful episode, Stylist Wang came away with yet another landslide victory in her stunningly accessorized pile of plaid ruffles:



But this week, I really think it's anybody's game! I should also note that it is perfectly legal to vote on ridiculous hair.

Man, it has been ages since I have done one of these! . . . it is also the first time I am screencapping while in an apartment with roommates, which means that there are other people to hear and verify how I burst into giggles every single time I take a screencap. OH WELL.

Anyway, last time, Stylist Wang swept the competition in her very stylish hat:



And it seems that this week she is resting on her laurels, leaving the field free for Jeremy to take us on a journey into the neon pink depths of his soul!

Obedient to my promise, I did what you guys told me and spent my weekend marathoning You're Beautiful. For the amazingly terrible and glorious assault on fashion, good taste and sanity that follows, therefore, you have only yourselves to blame.




How do you solve a problem like Go Mi Nyu?



Obviously, you disguise her as her rising pop-star ~identical twin brother~ - exiled for a month to America to heal from embarrassingly botched cosmetic eye surgery - and make her join a boyband.

It's just like The Sound of Music, except with more cross-dressing, screaming fanclubs, internal slashfic, and fakeout incest.

SO. THAT HAPPENED. (I found out about the show, by the way, from this amazing picspam by darkeyedwolf, which is ten times more hysterical than mine. I can now vouch for it that every word is true.)
