I'm watching Ugly Betty and I quite like it but to be honest, she's not really ugly. She's just wearing braces. Which rather undermines the concept.

I read an article about how "ugly betty" in spanish comes off more like a nickname, like "vibrating liz" or "hairy ben" or "tiny jo" than an actual descriptor. She's not meant to be ugly, but she is meant to ... well, have no sense of style, basically.

Ok, that makes more sense. So the point is intended to be a more subtle one, I guess.
