NYFug.com: Seven Ways To Fix Ugly Betty

Okay, so we’re not the hugest America Ferrera fans, per se, but we used to be charmed by Ugly Betty — you know, back in the day, when it felt fun and fresh and wasn’t bogged down by hideous life lessons about how if you dare to get a job and a life of your own, you will RUIN YOUR FAMILY.

outgoing mail, we’d go hang out at CAA’s offices for an hour.
