Well. 2016 sure has been interesting. But in a time of upheaval, one thing remains true: Fug Nation loves abs, Downton Abbey, Michelle Obama, crotchtacular awards shows, worst-dressed lists, more abs, and the prospect of Wills and Kate making out. With no further ado, I invite you to explore the top ten most popular posts of the year, presented in no particular order:

- In which President and Mrs Obama welcome the Trudeaus to the White House, and Michelle looks FANTASTIC

- In which we look back at five years of marriage for Prince William and the erstwhile Kate Middleton. So much gazing!

- In which we take a look back at the 2006 Academy Awards red carpet. Be still my heart, that yellow Vera Wang is still absolute perfection.

- In which we said a fond farewell to the residents of Downton Abbey. (Sidebar: Would you read recaps of classic Downton episodes? Please let us know.)

- In which we all learned a lot about how much stock Chrissy Teigen owns in double-sided tape. (Spoiler: A LOT.)


- 2016 was terrible in many ways, but it did give us the Summer Olympics, and with them, the Parade of Nations and Tonga's very very handsome flag bearer.
