Need help with contradictory sentence


This is relatively simple sentence, but one part contradict another, so I
don't understand what it should mean:

> 「なによこの気持ち悪い生き物は。海の生き物？ **気持ち悪すぎて、一周回って可愛いわね** 」

My attempt to translate it is:

> It's too gross and cute all around.

But this doesn't make any sense...




I guess it means "It's so gross it goes all the way around to being cute
again." It reminds me of the expression "It's so bad it's good."

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
