  by Saxon Henry After a five-week hiatus, Ugly Betty returned to prime time Thursday night, which is great news for fans of the show. While on a trip to Miami recently, a producer of the sitcom stopped in at Las Tias, one of the city’s preeminent upscale resale shops that holds everything from vintage Biedermeier and Le Corbusier furniture to retro Lucite lamps, furniture and accessories. What was it that caught the producer’s eye? A large, colorful selection of hand fans designed by French artisan Vera Pilo, which co-owner (with Anne Samuel and Carmen Santamarina) Esther Percal discovered while shopping at Au Bon Marché in Paris. Might we see one of the show’s characters batting eyelids above a scintilatingly waving fan soon?
