Not Ugly

Who else doesn't think the Ugly Betty character is ugly in the slightest? I don't watch the show, but I've seen lots of pictures of the character and I think she's adorable and quite pretty (out of costume, the actress is full-out gorgeous, IMO), and I would imagine plenty of people find the character dorkaliciously hot.



Maybe I'm missing something because I don't really know the concept of the show, but if a person who looks like this is supposedly considered ugly, there's something seriously broken about our society's set of appearance expectations (like we didn't already know that). Sheesh.

Yeah, the point of the show is the contrast between the slightly frumpy girl and the tarted-up fashionistas and how honestly more of them deserve the "ugly" sobriquet and my god I just used the word sobriquet on LJ ok I'm done now
