Glamour Wants Help Outing Public Fuglies

Posted on October 7, 2006

A new bloggish site from Glamour called Don'tspotting asks people to send in photographs of people looking their very worst. The service is powered by blip.tv.

Starting now, whenever you see someone looking truly awful-or truly chic-take a photo and show the world! Use your digital camera or camera phone and upload, or just browse, rate and comment on other people's photos. Remember, we're talking fashion commentary, not personal attacks. So play fair, and have fun!

Glamour says no personal attacks are allowed, but it does sound like an opportunity for someone to upload an unflattering photograph of a person they dislike. Eat the Press found this statement in the terms of service: "You, the user, agree that the photo(s) you are submitting are taken by you, or by someone who has given you the right to submit them. All Don'tspotting photos must be taken in a public place. (emphasis added)."

Jossip says you can be the "catty paparazzi" with Glamour's Don'tspotting.

And now Glamour gives you the chance to nominate that bitch in your office who always insists on wearing cropped tights and gold bangles for the former and yourself for the latter. It's called Don'tspotting - and you are the catty paparazzi, responsible for stopping the fashion faux-pauxs from taking over New York. Or, wherever.

Glamour.com is also home of the See Alyssa Date blog that we discussed a few weeks ago.

Update: The Don'tspotting blog is no longer available. You will have to find another venue to humiliate the poorly dressed.
