Off to an Oh Start

I just read an article in Chatelaine magazine about the new Jane Austen movie, and why they cast a beautiful actress to play someone who was (from what we know) plainish. I'll try to scan the article and post it.

Time and again I read or observe this kind of thing, and I'm annoyed and I want to blog about it; and I decided, what with the plethora and popularity of "Gawd you guys are like SO ugly ha ha HA!" sites right now, I figured it wouldn't hurt to have an anti-fugly blog. I have a sense of humour, and I like seeing weird clothes too, but a lot of this stuff is so brutal it makes me a bit sick to my stomach.

Example: bastardly (don't ask me how I even come across these sites!) goes after Sandra Oh so much, it smacks of desperation. (Which of course also feels creepily racist.)
