Video: Ugly Betty Starter Kit

ABC updated its Ugly Betty Starter Kit video (as you might recall, the first one came out just as the show was returning from the WGA strike).  As usual, it is hosted by Suzuki St Pierre (Alec Mapa).

There are many lessons that young people could learn about the world […]

Give An Ugly Betty Valentine!

Yes, good readers, there are Ugly Betty Valentine’s Day cards.  When I first saw these at Target, I worried about the cruelty that middle schoolers might perpetrate with cards they could hold out for “the ugly ones”.  But then I remembered that people who are picked on are some of the biggest fans of Ugly […]

Ugly Betty Wondering: Bradford’s Suit

In Ugly Betty episode 2.08, I See Me, I.C.U. , there were two mentions of Bradford’s wedding suit, and the fact that it was missing (Justin seemed obsessed about it).  I can’t help but think - either I’m missing some important piece of information (sometimes I miss the obvious) that explains this, or the writers are […]

Beautiful Ugly Betty Clothing Site

You knew it was going to happen.  How could it not?  With the worldwide poularity of Ugly Betty, and so many identifying with the character Betty Suarez, the world has now gone topsy-turvy.
