I didn't understand why people loathed Olga at BN boards. But now I do.

STAB.

STAB.

Serioiusly, she is causing problems for Vladimir AND Anna AND Alexander AND Natalie AND everyone I love in it.

Also, Alexander 'The Liberator' II is totally HOT.

I think I have decided to watch Ne rodis krasivoy ('Don't be born beautiful'), a Russian version of the same telenovela 'Ugly Betty' is based on (did I mention that we saw posters for UB all over Buenos Aires with the slogan 'in English, it is more ugly.' :P ( Read more... )

Somehow, 68 episodes (!!!) in, I have fallen hard for Crown Prince Alexander in Bednaya Nastya.
