New Site For Ugly Betty ‘Getty’ Fans
July 1, 2008 by Tom
I have long been looking to add a site to my blogroll for ‘Getty’ fans (fans of Ugly Betty, particularly of the budding – we think – relationship between the characters Betty and Gio). I already link to sites for the two other ’ships’:
- Instant Connection – all about the Henry (Chris Gorham)and Betty (Benry) romance.
- The Bachelor and The Butterfly – all about the friendship (and maybe more) between Daniel (Eric Mabius)and Betty (Detty).
Thanks to commenter Beatrice B for the heads up; Getty fans have a new, spiffy place: ModeGirl-SandwichGuy.com. There is a forum, and it’s already pretty active.
I try to link to, visit, and comment at as many Ugly Betty sites as possible. I’ll definitely be visiting this one. I-C and B&B are first class sites, and I have no doubt this one will be also.
Welcome MGSG! (Am I the first to call you that?).

MGSG it is, Tom! Welcome, join in the fun anytime…
Thanks Tom!
Yay! Thanks for the shout out! It’s a pretty collective site–all Getty fans are encouraged to contribute!
And don’t forget to check out the Team Gio store! *ALL* the proceeds benefit a Freddy Rodriguez related charity!
Tom, us Getty girlz are so thrilled to get a shout out on your awesome page! We’ve been hoping to create a place where Getty fans can go to discuss the show and other stuff, and are amazed at how many new people we’ve found already…in less than 3 days! Thanks for choosing MGSG! Viva Getty!
Oh, Tom, thanks very much for posting this and for visiting us. I like the MGSG! ^_^
Tom, thank you SO much for the shout out! We really appreciate it!
Thank you, Tom! We’re glad for the pimpin’.
Thanks for the MGSG shout out, Tom! We hope to see you (and some new Getties, too, hopefully) over there!
Thanks for the shout out! Hells yeah we’re active! And we hope to stay that way!
You are always welcome, Tom, as is everyone else!
Thank for the info about Getty.But wait and see what happen next season 3 about Getty yet.
If we’re active now can you imagine when season 3 starts?!
Totally agree with you, Nena. The post count will be unbearable!! I can´t wait!! We are scattered everywhere in the net but I am happy we can find a central to gather and exchange our opinions. Yeah I am really happy…
Tom, thanks for putting us out there. Come one, come all to enjoy the splendor of all things Getty–and other cool stuff too!
I love Betty and Gio together- but Ugly Betty is based on the Colombian soap opera “Betty la Fea” so if the story goes accordingly, Betty will eventually become pretty and end up with Daniel.
Nessa–
I think if anything can be deduced with how the show has been going, I think it’s that the American version is taking a path all it’s own and I kinda like that! I rather like not knowing where the writers are going to take the characters.
Totally agree with you, Sarah. And don´t worry Nessa. I´ve seen parts of the original telenovela and there are several other soap opera adaptations (and even a couple of films) about the matter. I think the US version is unique (that and the fact that its a TV show and not a soap opera like the rest) and we can expect a lot of surprises from the writers. Judging by what we have so far, except the first episode, the US Ugly Betty is quite different from the original story. So don´t worry… nobody knows where the writers are going to take the characters, that´s for sure.
Nessa, you say “Betty will become pretty”. Hey, you don´t think Betty is pretty? I am those who think that the US version is trying to show the world that Betty is not Ugly, but different. I find her cute in her own wacky style.
I am so happy you enjoy this show. Is quite beautiful and entertaining.
Me alegro de que siga la serie UGLY BETTY, creo que de todas las versiones esta es la mas entretenida y sin duda rodada con mucho gusto en todos los detalles. Estoy deseando ver los capitulos de la tercera temporada.
P.D: soy ESPAÑOLA , y fan de casi todas las series y peliculas ESTADOUNIDENSES.
Amparo,
Muchas gracias por el comentario – hemos comentaristas de todo el mundo, y me encanta cómo Ugly Betty universal es suficiente para tener tantos fans en todo el mundo.
Quiero hacerles saber, no hablo español, y mi hija que está aprendiendo español no es su casa, así que utilicé Google Translate (lo que es una gran herramienta!) – Y espero que traducido lo suficientemente bien como para que usted entienda esto.
Es bueno encontrar tantos fans de Ugly Betty en tantos lugares.
OMG! Tom you did very well!!! (I can´t believe you used Google translate because it doesn´t work that well on me)
Hola, Amparo, yo vivo en Republica Dominicana asi que el español es mi primer idioma. Si no me equivoco ustedes en España también tienen una versión de la fanquicia llamada “Yo soy Bea” y fue muy exitosa ¿no? Y en el canal cuatro están pasando esta version norteamericana de Ugly Betty la cual ha tenido buena acogida. Yo estoy muy contenta. Realmente esta versión es mi favorita.
Si quieres que te traduzca cualquier artículo de los que están aquí que no entiendas me puedes enviar un correo electrónico.
Mil saludos, Beatrice
