Help me to find my dream girl – Ugly Betty
9:06am Thursday 2nd October 2008 in
WHEN most men picture their ideal woman she may resemble the likes of actresses Brigitte Bardot, Scarlett Johansson or Angelina Jolie.
But for one Hampshire student his ideal girl is a dead ringer for none other than US television star Ugly Betty.
Now Adam Pacitti has launched a nationwide crusade to find the girl – a lookalike for the sitcom character famous for her braces and thick-rimmed glasses.
His hunt comes after the mystery girl literally appeared in the 20-year-old’s dreams.
After waking in the early hours, he immediately drew a picture of the woman that he imagined that night.
Despite his sketch being a little basic, Adam insists that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever known.
He said: “Some people have said that she looks like Ugly Betty, although I’d never seen the show, but I’ve seen some pictures of her before.
“If anything it’s a bit unfortunate that some people say she looks like a character called Ugly Betty, but there you go.”
Adam has been joined in his search by friends, spending £300 distributing thousands of leaflets in London and Portsmouth.
The University of Winchester English student has also launched a website where friends can also log sightings.
Six weeks have now passed since he had the dream, and in that time his site has attracted thousands of hits from America, Australia and even South Korea to help in the search.
Adam, of Ebden Road, Winnall, said a few pictures had been e-mailed to him of women that came close to the description, but were not a perfect match.
He said: “I don’t want to be too precise in describing her, but when I see her I’ll know. One thing I remember from my dream is that she is shorter than me, but given that I’m 6ft 4in, that’s not saying much.
“I can see myself looking for her for many years until I find her. If I do find her, I think the first thing I’ll say is ‘will you marry me?’ and afterwards, I think I’ll have to explain all the background very quickly!”

Saddo.

Not my taste, but presumably the chap knows what he wants out of life (apart from an Ugly Betty)
