Our Take on UGLY BETTY’s Extreme Makeover
August 5th, 2009
Did Betty Suarez just get an extreme makeover? Or is the above photo (Which may in fact be part of a rumored test balloon floated by the proverbial powers that be) simply a brilliant marketing ploy by ABC to remind fans that, “Hey, we only moved BETTY to Friday, we didn’t cancel her!”
That’s the question we find ourselves asking this afternoon after taking a look at the new and improved Demi Lovoto not-so-ugly Betty. The other question — again, assuming that this ‘leaked’ photo isn’t simply an ingenious marketing ploy, single episode stunt, or dream sequence, is — has Betty’s makeover gone too extreme? I mean sure, we’re the first to admit that we’ve scratched our head for years now as to how and why such a seemingly smart, self-confident and driven young women could fail so spectacularly to pick up even a few fashion tips whilst toiling away at Mode these past three years (Eyebrow pluck, contacts, anything!) But seriously, what kind of message is it sending to young girls when you’ve got Betty looking like she just walked off the set of the CW’s THE BEAUTIFUL LIVE: TBL?

hey you know this one of my pet peeves with the show… how has she not grown at all these past few years? I’d like to see some gradual changes this season, lose the braces, straighten the hair. they don’t have to do it all at once. this doesn’t have to be one of those “inner beauty” conversations – I mean, I do GET IT. The title IS UGLY Betty. She just has to be practical about working at a fashion magazine in NYC. Keep the feisty Brooklyn Betty personality, just update the look a teensy bit.
