#8

2 – no contest.

number one. could use a face-lift.

#3

#2-just don’t think they could even be considered cute, kitchy or workable in any circumstance!

#9

#1

number 5 for sure. those are awful!!!

#3, yikes!

i vote for number 3. this contest was a fantastic idea…it’s got me laughing!!!

#3 definately whats with the yarn tassels?

#8

Entry #3: Phyllis

#3 is painful!

#2 definitely.

#7, Wilhelm!

some are so ugly they are cute! but the one with surely no redeeming cuteness is #5

3 for a win!!!!

#8…no personality at all. the other pillows are ugly as well, but #8 lacks cuteness or kitschiness. ugly AND boring!

#3, yikes.

Oh my, god, #3 all the way… Phyllis, you poor thing!

#3 – I’m with beckie. On its own it could be kind of cute/kitschy but the addition of those tassels…..just takes it to a whole other level. Urgh!

2. how gross. how bargain basement couch deal.

#3!

#5 is heinous

Entry #1

#2 for sure!

oh wait, no i meant #3! the mushroom one. i thought that was #2, my bad!

Whoever came up with #5 skipped cutesy-ugly and went straight to just-plain-ugly!

I vote #3

#3!!!!

Phyllis #3
gets my vote

Definitely #4

#9

OMG, what an absolute riot! This, by far, is the most entertaining contest you’ve had :-)

i vote #1

#10!!

#1!

I vote for #9.

absolutely #9

Most definitely #3…Just to look at it makes me sneeze!

#2, truly gross.

It’s really a toss-up between #5 and #2–if we are talking so ugly you can’t even pretend it’s cool ugly–I vote #5.

absolutely #3

#2…and there’s so many of them. yuck yuck yuck.

#1 has been beaten by a wildebeest… that’s my vote.

#3

#3 – mercy!

#8 : is number 1 whole enough to be considered a pillow?

I vote for #10 : )

I vote for #10 : )

gotta be 3

#2 is giving me hives!! ugh…

#3

All hideous, but #3 takes the cake for sure

#9…

why did this ever come into existence?

#2… I agree with Heather- can’t imagine any circumstances where these could be tastefully worked-in.

#10!

3

#5 Looks like it might even smell

#1I #1! How horrific! The thing is falling apart!!! Shiver…

#1 for sure… that thing looks rotten…

is it wrong if i sort of like #8? it’s residual 1970s-isms…can’t help it…

#7 cause poodles on their own are pretty scary looking.

#2 is my vote. I think #3 is cute and can be used in the right setting. I don’t think there’s anything you can do to #2 to salvage it. Will that fabric ever be “in” again?

Number 3 is the winner in my book.

#3 Funny SA

#3

oh, yuck! they are all awful, in their own way. but i think #3 has to be the worst! ick!

#5

I’m going for #7 yuck!

#3 – one word-hideous!!!

#3!!!

I know I’ve seen bad now,#3 is it

#10

#10 makes me want to puke!

#3. WHY??!!

#9 all the way!

Go #9!

#3 – although it was tough to pick just one!

OMG #3!

#3!!!

if i have to pick just one it would be #3

Number 4 is the worst, by a neck, looks like that fake suede polyester stuff that gives me the hives, and they’re ugly. Number three is cute ugly, and number one is worn out but once might have had ethnic charm. Number 5 is pretty bad two. But really the ugliest pillows I’ve seen lately are photo pillows on the Anthropologie website, sale section, shame on them. The horse and dogs are bad, but there are worse, and they still have a personal quirkiness potential about them.

#2 – The rest can be seen as kitsch, and I actually like the naffness of the puppy and unicorn ones, but those are just nasty!

#2!!! Those are awful!

Close call, and those poodles almost had me, but #3 has my vote.

No. 5, hands down!

#10

#3-
If that belonged to me,
I would have BURNED IT years ago!
Those tassels are HIDEOUS!!!!!

#2

#5 for sure… gross!

4 gives me the heebie-jeebies. they look…dirty. and not in a good way.

3 might be sort of fab if not for those insane tassels.

#6.

#5

Number 8 – the type of hideous items that come with ready-furnished rented houses (we hid them in the attic & hoped the mice ate them)

Clearly, #5!

#6. It is hilarious.

If you removed the tassels, I’d kind of like #3. Come on, mushrooms are hot right now!

Number 3 , definately !!!

#5 all the way

#2

No. 3 is the worst.

While No. 1 is the ugliest in my opinion, it’s so bad that I just cannot believe someone would actually use it.

Hard decision, but 7

#3. horrid…..get this girl some new pillows;)

#2

Oh, #3 for sure. Um, is it terrible that I don’t think #2 is all that bad? I just think they’re… pillows. Not great, but not horrific.

#6 – can’t bear to even look at it.

Great contest. Hats off to all the participants for being such good sports!

#2. Besides being ugly, they are overstuffed and don’t look comfy at all.

Wow, #9 is U-GLEEEEEE, definitely the worst!

I’ve got to go with #3! It makes me cringe!

#3 hurts my eyes!

i vote #9. the other ones are all kinda cute (i love #5!) but #9 is the one that i would really hate to have in my house.

#8

#9 is definitely the ugliest!

Hmmm, they are all pretty ugly, but I guess #9 is the worst.

No.5. they look like they’re smelly.

#7. Ack!

I guess I’m not liking #9.

No.5, hideous! Look like they could do with some Febreze too.

#9. #9. #9.

#1 what exactly were you trying to do?

Some Girls make me happy. Some Girls make me smile. But the Girl in #9 DOES NOT CUT IT.

#3

Ahhh! My eyes!

#2, and by a long shot.

3, 4, 6, 7, and 10 are just awful taste, but they don’t cause me physical pain to look at like #2.

#3

#7, because not only is the pillow ugly, but the dogs are ugly too! I’ve never seen poodles with facial expressions like that.

#9!!!!!

#2. I just can’t stand the stupid graphics on them.

i vote for #9 because i really, really, really hate it.

#2 – bleh

#3

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3

3! Wow.

#9 rubs me the wrong way for sure.

bleck

Ahahaha! I have laughed hard at these. I think the photo image pillows with the white horse and poodles are actually rather kitschy fun though. The shredded thing, #1, is my vote.

#8

#3 definitely!

this was harder that i thought it was going to be. but the unfortunate winner is…

#3

no. 9 offends me on so many levels.

#3!

#8…U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi–you UGLY!

#5 all the way!

#2- wow. that is bad.

#2

#3, eeewwww!

I just don’t know, some are skimming the border between hid-ge and kitsch so closely, but I think for me there’s no double about #3!

Before I see anyone else’s vote, let me speak for #3. That is the worst combo of materials I can remember seeing…..*L*

Take the tassels off # 3 and it’s not so bad… but #9 has no hope of redemption!

#3! the yarn…ick!

#5 for sure!

#10! Put those poor puppies out of their misery!

#3 – gives me shivers!

I vote for Entry #2: Rebecca, these dont even have a hint of kitsch

#8

#8 The colors are AWESOMELY awful!

#8…ewww.

#2 – what kind of maniac buys FIVE of that cushion? Black and brown is my most hated colour combination. Ick.

#3 for sure!

I vote for number 3.

#3 — Ack! Tassles!

#2 — totally unsalvageable

#10 is the ugliest!

#4. There’s not even any artistic effort there, like at all. In fact, they’re so bad I’m not sure this person deserves to have nice pillows.

#3 definitely.

It’s a toss-up between #5 and #8…but I’m gonna have to say #5. Those are not only ugly, they’re yucky. Yucky, I said. Blech.

#3,hands down.

I have to go with #5!

I vote for the dirty little # 5′s.

all pretty gross… but #4… i wouldn’t go near that.

number 8!!! gross. cat is cute though.

#9

9 because it’s just in very bad taste.

1 should just be thrown away.

#3, Phyllis. Unless her Grandma made it, then it’s sweet. (OK, it’s not.)

3 and 4 take the cake.

#2

3

#3 – Definitely ugly

I vote for #8

#8 I think my grandma had those in the 40′s

#9! What is with that thing? The others, I could see maybe something that redeems them. But not #9!

#3

#6

#2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222!!!!!

#2

#8-not fun, just fugly

#3. Wow. wow.

#3, those super-sized tassles are just way too much!

#3

#3

#5 gives me the creeps

#3

#2. I seriously hope there isn’t a matching couch.

#2!

#2. I seriously hope there isn’t a matching couch. Otherwise, two new pillows aren’t gonna help these people.

4444444444

#9-sex and the city-the pillow!

#2

truly a stunning collection of ugliness, but i’d have to say #9 (like the beatles said) takes the cake!

#8

#1

It was close for me. #5 (Brown nasty deer running – is that burlap?) or #6 the Unicorn pillow. Unicorns are cute by nature so….

My vote is for #5 – Dat Shi’ is nasty!

#9

they all make me want to hurl. but #8 appears to require fumigation. that’s my vote.

#3

this was so hard!
but finally #9 receives my vote. please say it was a gift?

yikes. I vote for #9 — are those nipples or polka dots, and which would be worse?

#8 – no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

#3…sick, sick, sick!!

# 4 is the absolute worst. tackiest idea ever!!! The other ones could have been a good idea in someone’s head, or at least try to be creative or useful.

#8. There’s just nothing redeemable about it and I swear I can smell the must through my monitor. Eww.

4

#3, without a doubt.

#3 definitely!!!

#3 for real…. though they are all pretty awful.

Number 8!

Is #1 actually a pillow? Since I find it suspect #3 is the winner blows past kitsch to just horrible.

Well, I think we have a winner– or would that be a loser? :)

It has to be # THREE! E-GADzz that’s one ugly pillow!!!

#4

disgusting.

but the bed under them is so too.. i hope the new pillows don’t get placed on that!!

#4

disgusting.

but the bed under them is so too..
i hope te new pillows don’t get placed on that!

I really hate #3. Yuck.

#3 is certainly the worst!

#4

i can’t believe I’m so alone here!
some of these uglies have something for me to ponder and look over. especially the handmade ones. But #10 is nothing but offensive to my aesthetic sensibilities; even if i like puppies.
#10 !

I kinda like #3…

ugliest = #4.

Pillow #2!

#2, but they are all hideous

#9. The girlfriend/shopping/sister theme is just BAD. Always bad.

# 3

# 3

for ugliest i give it to #3.

but if it were for the funniest pillow, i’d give it to #7. that pillow is hilarious with the husband-and-wife looking dog duo.

#3 is hideous.

#3!

#8…you couldn’t pay me to put my face on that thing

#4 is unforgivably ugly

#9 for sure is the worst visually, though the one i’d least like to touch is #8.

but #6 and #7 would look great on my stark white couch! They fit the -so bad it’s good- aesthetic i sometimes go for…

#1, please. Please please do burn that thing.

#2.
They are not for children and someone actually got paid for that design. Someone else did atleast have fun making #3…

#8. I look at #8 and immediately remember every unhappy musty apartment i was dragged to in my life up until now

It was tough, but #5 takes the cake!! Those pillows have an awful shape to them and I couldn’t even begin to image what they would go with (other than puke). Some of the other ones would be cute if they had the right decor and environment to let them shine.

3

#3

#3. nasty!

Without a doubt, 5! All the rest, some hipster could spin as ironic. 5 just says, “I’m ugly, put me out of my misery.”

5. some of these could have worked at some point in their life, or have this awful…long forgotten bad present aura about them. but 5 looks like some bad polar fleece made into pillows. just rough.

# 8 is the worst (and Wilhelm, if you can afford that chair – you my friend can afford a better pillow)

#3… ouch.

number 3,definitely!!

#3 looks like Raggedy Anne and a hobbit had sex in a microwave oven and fused together. Brings new meaning to the emoticon :O

#3 hands down.

#7 i kindof like #7, maybe there’s something wrong with me. sigh.

Hands down, the mushroom pillow.

Smurfette wants it back.

#8!

My eyes!!! #2 for sure.

#10

#6

I vote for #3… the tragic mushrooms with tassles. #6 and #7 are quite excellent actually and pull of tacky quite well and hilariously.

NUMBER 8

#2

Number 5. They make me feel kicky and punchy.

#9…ugh

Wow!! It is a tie between #1 and #3.
Betty

#3

Oh my gosh – it HAS to be pillow # 3 – the combo of those mushrooms and tassles – blech! Yes it’s tacky, but while the other pillows are ugly, there’s a simplicity to them that doesn’t push them over the top of ugliness – but for pillow #3, those tassles take the cake!

#2!!

[Entry #1: Illeana]

#5
:P

#9 hands down

#1 for sure

#2

5.

Five.

Cinco.

Did I mention 5?

#6 all the way!

#10!!!!! puppies!!!!

#8

Definitely #1

I agree with Anonymous.

#3 but #2 is a close second. It looks like they are breeding.

#3
so I think there should a follow up contest with the most beautiful pillow, just for some balance.

#3. Hardcore.

#3 is the ugliest pillow i have ever seen.

hands down #3. I think she made it herself!

#3 the mushroom one!

[Entry #3: Phyllis]

by far the ugliest pillow!

I say #5.

#3 – foul.

#8 gives me the ickies more than any of the others.

OMG- #8 with the cat, this is totally a cushion from my couch! It was a hand-me-down from my last roomate. However, I love it. Its avocado green damask in the best way.

#3 is the worst!

#3 is hei-nous. it’s so bad i don’t care if i spelled that correctly. thhhhppplllt! :)

#4 Crafty gone bad!

number 3 is definitely the worst!

#9 Definitely

It is a close race between #1 & #2, but #2 won by a nose… or a brown ovaloid, as the case may be.

6 easy

I have to vote for #2 – the others made me laugh, these were just sad – rebecca deserves something beautiful for living with them!

#2

i think its that number for a reason (nudge, nudge).

#2 for sure!

(is it wrong i kinda like a lot of the others??)

http://www.stylesavestheworld.com

be glam. live green.

three!!!!!!!!!!!

#10 all the way

I vote for #1-Ileana’s tattered relic.

9

#1

oh. muh. gawd.
people own these things??

though all are horrid, 9 is the most *offensive* of the bunch. the rest run the gamut from plain-old-ugliness to ironicute. there’s just no excuse for #9.

No. 6 is by far the ugliest

#2 outstandingly hideous

#3 for sure- who bought all these to begin with?

ugh, no.3

I can’t believe my eyes, #3!

#3…why would you decorate your pillow with fungus and yarn?

#3…oh my.

#9, please.

2

2

#3…hope their mom didn’t make that!

#4 YUCK!!!!!!!

#1 for sure

#3 is definitely a very ugly pillow.

all gross but #3 is grossest

#3- definitely!!!!!

#5. Numbingly horrible.

#3

#1, Illeana, thats pretty bad

my vote is for yucky number 3!

#6 Sarah

To quote Project Runway, “There is some serious ugly going on in here.”

They’re all painful, but I think #4 is the worst. #4 owner – even if you don’t win – please, please get new pillows.

#5 is the one i would least like to have in my home…

#10 for sure! and its not because we lugged this thing back from greece for rachel….

FIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVE.

smelly. yucky.

wtf, 6-7 and 10, I love them!

Number 1 sucks

#9 offends on many, many levels.

number 5 -yeah right

#9 fo’ sho’!

#9 fo’ sho’!

2 they are terrible!!!!

#3 for sure, hands down. (and is it wrong that I liked a couple of the entries? Yikes.)

#3…wow

ugly being the new pretty, it’s hard to decide, but I have to say…

#9!

it was great seeing you tonight, grace! rock on.

#3 for sure!

#3 without a doubt… very closely followed by #1

# 3 – She must have made it – that’s why she’s kept it all this time.

I vote for #2. Yikes.

holy crap! #3

#3, #3, #3 – a crafter’s vision gone amok!

#2 Rebecca’s pillows are the WORST! I think that the others can be redeemed by a kitsch aesthetic, but those? Not even the great 80s priest Father Guido Carducci can resurrect them!

#8 very ugly

Number 7 but no. 10 is pretty bad too!
I thought the pillow a well meaning aunt made me with my wedding photo on it was bad but these beat it hands down. (still needed to destroy it though – hope she never asks where it is!).

#3 for sure! Deliciously tacky.

#2.

Is anyone else wondering if Sarah and Wilhelm bought their pillows from the same place?

#3 is it!!!

It’s a tough one, but I’ve gotta go with #5.

#8.

wow they’re ugly, but #3 takes the cake.

definitely #5

gosh, they’re all so hideous it’s really hard to choose!
But I think #2 wins ‘by a nose’.

#3 by far

#3 by far

Number #6 for sure

No. 4 Hands down.

#3 … tassels and mushrooms. eek.

Gotta be #5 for me! Yuk, yuk, YUK!

Gotta be #5 for me! Yuk, yuk, YUK!!!

Number 3 for sure!

#7!!!

#6 is awesome!

Yuck #2

#2 yuck!

2 is awful!

Did someone really have #2 in their home? Its a clear winner!

Do we really need a vote 2 is a clear winner!

2 is just bad sorry

#2

Love hte puppy pillows! the horse is pretty sweet, too.

Gotta give it to the world’s ugliest pillow(With a pretty cute cat on it)–#8 is the worst!

damn! it’s got to be #8. I Think that cat is stuck to that fugly thing.

2 I feel so strongly about this one. If anyone ever needed some new pillows!

Are you serious its #2!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a a little…

#2!!

Gary*

#6

A really a difficult decision!
But finally I`ve decided #9!

got to be #3

#3 takes it.

#6, wrong

3 fo sho

#6 – wind effect and all, sheesh!

#3

Absolutely #6! Totally awful…

Number 2! Ew!

#3

shudder.

#2 went out in 60′s!

#2 not even funny

#2 not fashion conscious obviously

#2 too drab

#2 like what my gran had…

#2 hate brown & TAN

#2 sore on the eyes…

#2 u g l y

#2 yukky!

GRRRRRRRRRR #4

#4 ugly

#4 is ugly

definitely #3

i’m voting for Entry #4: Sharon!

#9 remarkably bad

number 4 for sure!

#4 — and get this girl a new comforter too!

#2 Bad! Bad! Bad!

7 by far. 3 is so ugly it may be cool again.

#6
Hahaha seriously come on! :)
where could you fit that!? I can imagine the space it would go in and that just freaks me out!

#3 is so ugly it makes me itch.

[...] Ugly pillow faceoff! [...]

#1
It’s amazing that anyone has saved this pillow – it looks like all kinds of nastiness is lurking in its torn and stained surfaces. Ugh!!

#1, the worst!!

#3, so ugly it’s funny.

#1!!!

Hey! I like #7!!! I want it. If you want to sell it let me know as I have a matching one and would love a pair.

oops meant #8

yikes! da dun dun dun… #3

#3.

but #6? really? give that thing a unicorn horn and you’d have hipsters all over that!

whoa – #2 gives me nightmares.

#6
