It’s a sad but true assesment… the Cinderella story says you get beautified when you want to get ahead. She isn’t going to be allowed to move on in her story unless she waxes those brows.

Yes, but what does it say ultimately?

Plain, unattractive, and smart = BAD! (And no one will shag you!)

Cheeky, flashy tart = GOOD! (And you will need to install a credit card terminal, velvet ropes, and a bouncer in front of your bedroom door.)

Oooh, one of my Twitter followers was telling me about the Filipino version of the show, earlier today. I knew it was in Spain, but had no idea that it had so many other incarnations. People like the idea that the girl with the brain can do good – and not rely on her looks. It’s a nice story to tell.

This phenomenon (it started about 10 years ago in Colombia) has swept the globe.

There have been so many remakes of “Betty La Fea” (its original Spanish title) in so many countries its insane. The latest is Brazil’s version coming in a few months.

Everywhere, the climatic moment is the big reveal, when the butt ugly, goofy, fashion challenged girl transforms into a tramp.

But you know, at its core, it’s still a retelling of Cinderella. There’s a strong desire to watch fairy tales come true. In a sense, there is hope for humanity after all.

Hey Sam – your visits are always a LOL-filled joy. She looks as polished as they wanted her to, I guess. I left that as a little surprise… the yellow socks with the shoes made me snort I was laughing so hard.

i guess this is what would happen in real life, you work at place where everyone looks chic so you’re going to start looking like that too.

But this really does defeat the purpose of the show. Just because your clothes are ugly doesn’t mean you’re ugly, she’s pretty hot now at least in that pic.

oh wait, i just clicked on the pic where you can see the sandals with the socks, :O dear god Betty! get some flats!!! who would wear that? does she not have a mirror?!?! for god sakes she works for a fashion magazine not a carniceria!

hahaha, i love that show!

doesn’t this defeart the purpose of the show?

That’s why they just took off the braces and combed the weave – they left the fuggers clothes.

doesn’t this defeart the purpose of the show? Betty is usposed ot be ugly? is she supposed to turn ugly on the inside now ()as many women do when they get these drsatic makeovers)

guess America got tied of not being known for how beautiful she is, compared to her frumpy character…diva in training!
