The Uglification of Betty


My new guilty pleasure - Ugly Betty - seems to be everyone else's as well. ABC's ugly duckling hit caused a ruckus at not only the Golden Globes but the SAG awards. The very pretty in real life America Ferrara won for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy. America also gave a tear leaking acceptance speech in which she lauded Betty for embracing the true beauty in everywoman. Perhaps I'm a sucker for cinderella stories or for happy endings. I tend to think I'm more motivated by transformation - whether it be physical or spiritual. Viva la Ducklings!
