Move Over, My Pretty, Ugly Is Here.

I liked this article because it was about the good side of ugliness and how ugly people is pushing away the beauty stereotypes.


In the article that I read said that ugliness always has been related with the bad and scary things like horror movies like Freddy Krueger, and also with the antagonist of some stories like the Harry Potter’s arch-enemy, Lord Voldemort and so on. But ugliness has changed its theme from bad and scary things to sweety and common things like those characters that represent life just like it is, like Ugly Betty who is an ugly woman that succeeded working in a company in which all the antagonists are beauty but mean women. And like the example of Ugly Betty we also have Shrek, “who is ugly and green but in a cute way”. The idea of this is to change the beauty stereotype to something more normal, like common people who are not sometimes as good looking as models.


new words:
Awkward: lacking ease or grace (as of movement or expression) .
Plainness: lacking beauty or ugliness

I agree...I think that if a man is afraid of being cheated on by his girlfriend he must get an ugly one....that solves every single problem related with unfaithfulness...
(I'm kidding...or not?)

:) I agree with your article. Sometimes people see just the beauty of the women, but it's not the most important thing.
People could be very interesting and smart independently of his or her beauty.ggiem
