this show has become my spice of life and absolute favorite. It makes me laugh and cry and run around my house screaming. I’m just like betty she dances to the beat of her own drum truly. She is always trying her best. Just like me af. The show was also styled by Patricia Field who is my idol. Anything she touches turns to glitter and gold.

I‘ve been rewatching because my mam showed me an old home movie of 9 year old me clutching an Ugly Betty Season 2 box set on Christmas morning and I was overcome with nostalgia. I got so much from that show as a goofy queer kid living in the middle of nowhere in the UK.
IMO it holds up!!!! Betty is actually sort of annoying but still so sweet and her fashion sense bangs in 2024. Mark, Amanda and especially Wilhelmina are comedy gold. The storyline surrounding Alexis and her transition is questionable at times, but on the whole treated with kindness. I feel glad that 9 year old me saw a (albeit fictional) trans woman on screen being treated with respect.

she’s timelessly hilarious and witty. i stream the show on peacock and put it on during the day while doing chores and such. i’ve shocked myself by laughing out loud at times, who knew something so dated could be so effortlessly goofy. love her so much.

I love being a granny! Don’t get me wrong I’m very vibrant and fun and love to cut loose and spread my wings and shake my tail feather but only when it’s worth it. I miss China chalet. I don’t really like all these new spots that appear out of thin air and are gone in the blink of eye. I grew up in nyc so I got a lot of partying out of my system at a pretty young age. I miss the dope spots, things feel kind of redundant now I wouldn’t mind a themed party or masquerade ball but not in a corny way just in a fun way. In the meantime. You can find me at 42n studios working on a secret fabulous project.

Tarina is my favorite jewelry designer and sparkly pink haired icon. Her jewelry, the kidrobot capsule collection to be exact, has become a staple in my wardrobe. I seriously have done my best to monopolize the kidrobot stuff because it’s so perfect and jewelry from my dreams. You might be able to find her stuff soon at my fave store Big Ash.

This is my favorite sweet shop downtown. If you know me you know I love candy and have a major sweet tooth. This place is so chic and all of the chocolates are just fabulous little morsels of flavor with dope little designs on them. Best place for a vday gift and the NYC themed boxes rock.
