Ugly Betty’s "blog"

(Back when I started this blog in 2006, I promised at least a satire piece on the industry. Well, after nearly four years and 1,844 posts later, I finally deliver!)

I came across this blog “written” by Betty Suarez, who “works” at “Mode magazine” in New York. Strangely enough, it was found on ABC’s website. It’s titled Be inspired, whatever that means.

So I did some searching on the Internet for more on Betty… and volia! I stumbled onto her Twitter page! This is what she posted in the last 24 hours:

– 05:30 am – Wake up – My sister Hilda is talking in her sleep on how dreamy Conan O’Brien is.
