Ugly Betty: Amanda’s Blog Is Still Hilarious!
Speaking of Becki Newton, if you haven’t checked out Amanda’s blog at Mode Online, you really should. It’s pretty much updated every Thursday or thereabouts.
The Ugly Betty staff writing it (I don’t know if it’s the writers, Newton herself, or someone else), give us a pretty good insight into the muddied mind of Ms Tanen Sommers. Whether she’s giving her take on the events in the previous episode of Ugly Betty, or pontificating about world events, you usually finish the post saying, “Huh?” But in a good way.
Last Thursday’s post was about the events of episode 3.07, Crush’d . She tells how wonderful it is to have a roommate. But first, she waxes philosophical:
Meanwhile, I’d like to point out that it’s no wonder Earth is a woman. If it were a man, there would just be one season all year long, with a temperature perfect for wearing a T-shirt and cargo shorts… maybe a drop of a few degrees here and there to warrant a beer-stained college sweatshirt. I’ve also always wondered how Mother Earth and Father Time ended up having Baby New Year, but that’s for another blog.
She then proceeds to tell us about going through Betty’s closet, with the intent of trying on her clothes to mock each outfit, and then discovering something:
All those patterns, all those colors… you know how when you drive past a crash site, you can’t help but look? I not only looked, I got out of the car and threw myself into the wreckage. It started as some sick thrill, to put on Betty’s hideous outfits and gross myself out. But things didn’t go according to plan, because, as you could probably figure out, I looked hot. And believe me, I tried real hard to look bad, but outfit after outfit, each one looked better on me than the last. I had been making fun of her clothes for so long, but I realized that was wrong of me. I shouldn’t have mocked her outfits, I should’ve mocked her.
Heh. Gotta love Amanda. She says out loud what we’re sure people like her are usually thinking. For instance, her take on Jesse:
Just because you’re roommates with someone, doesn’t mean you can share everything. I kind of learned that one the hard way when I made out with some guy that Betty liked. To be fair, I didn’t know she liked him. And my making out with him was kind of a good thing – it was sort of like my seal of approval for Betty’s choice of crush. She’ll realize that in time.
Nothing like the Amanda seal of approval.
Anyway, there is much more. Check it out for past entries, and look for another post (hopefully) this Thursday. It’s hilarious.

Oh man! After Amanda was rooting for Gio, she is now giving the “seal of approval” to Jesse. Nothing like a bland rocker to replace a hot chef *trying to sound sarcastic* Didn’t she told Betty he was “stupid” or something like that? whatever.
But I do love Amanda’s blog. She had one written about preference of women about good guys and bad guys. Whoever writes that blog does sound like Amanda. She is just so… Amanda. Love her!!
