On beauty

An interesting article in the Daily Mail about the TV series Ugly Betty, and how it addresses our cultural myths about beauty in women.

I haven't seen the show (I don't watch television) but it looks interesting--I have always liked America Ferrara as an actress (loved her in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants). She has done interesting things in her career in examining the pressures on women to have a certain body type: that was certainly a big part of the plot with STP, and her first role, Real Woman Have Curves.

Any of you seen "Ugly Betty"? What do you think of it?
