Not Ugly

[plumtreeblossom]

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.

I think she's adorable. I think it's just the contrast between her and all the crazy supermodels and fashion folks she works with that makes her "ugly."

If she lived here in our community, the gents would be lining up for her. The nerdy look is very hot here. Your userpic is perfect for this!
