It was hard to imagine anything less menacing than Hud Morgan in a bar fight, but a helpful tipster has supplied one: the Men's Vogue writer, dressed we presume as a gangster, at up-and-coming socialite Serena Merriman's fancy dress party, last weekend in Little Compton, Rhode Island. 28-year-old Morgan, a former gossip columnist with the New York Daily News, fancies himself the caddish man about town. For a microsecond, his liaison with a 17-year-old starlet even gave him a touch of credibility. But the fruitini-loving reporter has always been betrayed by his taste in clothes—technicolor sweaters and scarves worn with as much respect for his surroundings as an Olsen in sunglasses, which tend to undermine his masculine charisma. And, here, he's betrayed again.

Myself in 9th grade called, Hud. He wants his goatee back.
Straight Outta Little Compton!
I didn't know one could procure irony from a Times Square sidewalk vendor.
Straight outta Wis-compton
I promise never to get tired of the phrase "fruitini-loving." Genius.
Ok, and I must add, the sweet little moue he's giving the camera, as well as the headband, make him far more Tallullah Bankhead than Crip Crankhead.
Hud calls this look "Bleu Steel"
Good Times.
PuPac
Dare I even ask how and where you procured these photos from, Nick?
Facebook?
@BettyCrocker: I think Denton meant East Compton. Where the streets are hard, the G's are original, and we all do it for the almighty dollar. Holler!
@Chaim Gnadelstein: Hee!
I have those horns.
If the guy in the back row of the lower pic with the piate jacket on was going for 1983 Adam Ant, he nailed it.
"Kick Me" sign, personified. Runner up is "Lil Compton High".
I call this look NJBnT
The sultry redhead was going for this, and missed the mark a bit.

is that adrien brody in the back row?
@BettyCrocker: i thought she was going for jessica hahn, and hit the mark right on.
This is like some Suzanne Bartsch party gone horribly wrong.
Do gangstas wear white khakis?
@BettyCrocker: I thought that was Vincent Gallo.
@downlow: Could be. I think Chloe Sevigny is throwing up just out of the frame.
@BettyCrocker: Crazy mother fvcker named Hud Mo!
@CaptainFantastic: All the mad Gawker Commenters be up on his tail; keepin' a brother down 'cause he's pale...
Ugh. This looks like a high school drama club party. In Akron. In 1998.
@BettyCrocker: Julia Allison is the tool/don't make me act a motherf-cking fool
He looks like an understudy for a backup dancer in a community theatre production of "Fame". Which is to say, he looks like a d-bag.
@hamburgerhotdog: My name is Hud Mo, what I don't eat I snarf; why y'all hatin' on another brother's scarf? Y'all Gawker bitches are media meanies, what y'all need is a nice fruitini. Flavor it! Savor it! Sip-it-sip-it-tip-it! Down the hatch, I make a new batch, and then yell at JA and call her a snatch!
"Gangster"? Is that what he's supposed to be? And here I thought he was washing the car when he suddenly recalled he had a party to attend.
You know what they say: Love a privileged 17 year old, love the racist, pimps-and-hos parties probably thrown by the kid's friends.
So of course I know that "fancy dress" is all British-y for "costume," but I still can't help the cognitive dissonance I feel when I read "fancy" and it is followed up by photos of these tools.
@BettyCrocker: I'd hate to take you in a cypher battle down by the piers, you got wild style there, shorty.
He was Lloyd Grove's butt boy -- not a columnist. Don't enhance his resume anymore than he already has.
If he's a gangster then that means there's a good chance of him getting shot right?
Makes me think of the yuppie rap video "Tea Partay".
+ Watch video
(I'm a virgin when it comes to posting actual videos. Be gentle with me.)
@busyness:
+ Watch video
West Coast, represent?
A gangster? He must have spent a long time on his costume there.
@tunamelt: I spent 11 years of my life that I'll never get back in LA. The sad part about that video, is that it's not far from the truth.
That tool was going for gangsta, falls short and ends up with LA County cellblock bitch-of-the-month. (Secretly his rape fantasy). When I see the bottom pick, all I can think of is, "where's a bunker buster when you need one." BTW, Hud backwards is 'duh.'
wanksta
Well he has been known to get BJs in bathrooms scattered around town from Bonnie Morrison, the fashion world's resident quasi-black member of the tribe. Uber-preppy guys tend to have a well-hidden love affair with ancient Biggie songs and all things ghetto-tastic. He'll claim the costume was "ironic," but really, he saw it as an opp to dress exactly how he wishes he could dress in the MV office daily.
The purple queen is pretty cool though, with the weirdo glasses.
