Watching Ugly Betty would be one of my guiltiest pleasures if I believed in such a concept. Googling people in television programmes that I watch/bands that I like/who make clothes that I like also falls into the un-guilty pleasures category.While Googling Betty herself, actress America Ferrera this evening, two out of the top ten Google Suggestions that came up were:
America Ferrera Weight Loss
America Ferrera Size
Both above, America Ferrera Movies, America Ferrera Golden Globes etc...
Oh what a world.
Obviously the concept of a programme that highlights the looks of a female character by dressing her up as a pantomime dame (pretty much) and calling her 'ugly' isn't really my flavour, but attempts by the writers to show how fickle and shallow the fashion world is and to give Betty some real warmth, depth and intelligence sweeten the pill. Or some other weak, justifying arguement.
