Ya'll are the best. Seriously. I've spent the last four weeks re-watching Ugly Betty which is a fantastic series. (Surprisingly, it was a pretty good match for my search for post-graduation media about young women.) It's so colorful, funny and approaches topics of identity more than other network TV shows.
But most of all, at the center, there's the Suarez family. So much like our own families and friends, they support, tease, and love each other in an incredibly real way. And I love them for that. Cause Mode magazine is crazy, but the family drama is so beautiful.
I have a major crush on Tony Plana. Major.
I adore Hilda. And in this month of watching, I spoke to myself a little bit in a Hilda voice. There were lots of flailing arms and gestures that highlighted my nails.
Justin's coming out episode/dance is so beautiful. I teared up. The best part may be watching everyone who loves him react to his dance with Austin. So much love!
And Betty. There are ways that we all wanna be like Betty. And as hokey as it is, her charge to follow her dreams is damn inspiring. Betty Suarez gets what she wants and challenges with balancing work, family and a social life.
Interestingly, this time around I was way more invested in the Betty/Daniel relationship. I didn't hate the possibility of their romance this time, like I did previously.
Any case, I needed to share my love for that family. Also, they are fictional.
love,
hannah
