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).

You know, it’s funny - […]

“You are an attractive,intelligent,confident businesswoman.”
This is the mantra Betty Suarez repeated to herself on her first day at Mode. Of course, she then proceeded to walk face-first into a glass wall, but isn’t that the way it goes in the real world?

Well, the WGA strike […]

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).

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.
You can now buy Ugly Betty clothing.
It’s a Finnish site, and being a mono-lingual American, I can’t read the text of the site. […]
