Queens For A Day
Updated 2006-10-17 17:00:00
Hilda decides that Betty needs a makeover in order to fit in with the rest of the beeyotches at Mode. This is not entirely untrue: I like the kid, but her eyebrows are really out of control. Moreover, Betty's used her Queens connections to talk a big name photog (who hates Meade Publishing) into meeting with Daniel, and Daniel asks her to "dress up" a bit for their lunch. So Hilda takes Betty for a makeover, which doesn't really go that well, frankly -- a beehive is involved, as are Bedazzled acrylic nails -- but at least it takes care of the monobrow. Sadly, although the kids in Queens think she looks awesome, Betty gets a rather humiliating dressing-down from Wilhelmina for her new look, and gets all sobby in the bathroom and refuses to go along to lunch. Call me mean-spirited, but if every episode involves a tearful scene in which Betty decides that she has to quit, I will quit. Anyway, blah blah blah of course Betty ends up showing up at the lunch anyway, and yada yada yada looks aren't everything and she saves the day, thwarting Wilhelmina in the process. As for Daniel, he's having all kinds of issues living up to the Legacy of Poor Dead Brother Alex, AND he's starting to dig into the mystery of his father's relationship with Fey Sommers, although he hasn't uncovered anything juicy yet. He's also very cute. Just in case you were wondering.
