"Ugly Betty's" nephew
Who can't stop saluting "Ugly Betty" for its homage to working-class Latinos as well as to ambitious, intelligent women who come with curves? But it's Justin Suarez (Mark Indelicato), Betty's 12-year-old nephew, who charms with his wit, sass and fashion-saturated brain.

Past episodes at www.abc.com.)

Cocktails

I put the men in my Manhattan at home, scoring Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Aromatic Bitters ($4.99) at DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine (1435 First Ave., Seattle, 206-622-0141; delaurenti.com).

DVDs
"The Fabulous Baker Boys"
![]()
"Another bride ... another June ...

"Another sunny honeymoooon ... ." (Now on DVD, rated R).
