A lot of self-esteem gets needlessly damaged by this sort of crap. Or maybe I'm missing some vital information somewhere...

If that makes you an oddball, I weep for the world.
Wordy McWordface, although I think the show is about a girl who is seriously out of touch with fashion but.... wants to work in the fashion industry or something, I dunno, I've never watched it. However, even underneath the braces and glasses (and I agree that glasses can be pretty great) she is not ugly by any stretch of the imagination. Nice smile, too.

I'm rather partial to "son of a diddly doo".
