From episode 418 of “Ugly Betty.” I am now convinced that the prop masters of “Ugly Betty” raided my mama’s closet. She had one of these shirts. In fact, I think she had this exact sequined butterfly shirt with the same color combo and everything. Like neon, legwarmers, and jelly shoes, this shirt is an icon of lowbrow 80s fashion.

I want one.

The funny part? My mama wasn’t exactly kickin’ it at Manhattan clubs on the weekend.
