I was browsing through the newspaper today and I found this article about a website that allowed only 'Beautiful People' in!
The essence of this website is very simple, If you're beautiful, you're eligible for a membership. And how does one decide if you're beautiful or not? All you do is give in your basic details and submit a photograph. You will then be put under a 48 hour wait where the opposite sex would judge you and vote if you're beautiful or not. Once in, you get to meet other 'beautiful people', build your personal and professional lives and also attend parties and exclusive events where you would find, most definitely, only 'beautiful people' around. What's more? The website is being launched in 89 countries today as per what I've read. Something all the beautiful people should be screaming with joy about.
Here's a line from the website that I found amazingly shocking -
"BeautifulPeople simply removes the 'first hurdle' as every member is exactly that; 'Beautiful' as deemed so by their peers."
Riiiiiight! because what I'm looking for in my professional life is that everyone i work with be beautiful and good looking.
I'm the kind who doesn't pay too much attention to myself and take care of my skin or teeth or eye lashes or the pores in my face! What exactly is this beauty they talk about? Is it about looking perfect? Looking like every other plastic in town!? I can just about imagine people hoping and praying they'd get in or get selected and be allowed to access the website so that they could mingle with other beautiful people. For all we know, one will probably end up with a lower confidence level because they couldn't get in. And of course you can keep trying until you get in. I see big obsessions in the future.
You might think I'm ranting because I may be one of the non beautiful people around. And you might be right too. But does it really matter?! Is it that important to be "well groomed?" Makes me sound like a dog (no offense to dogs,I love 'em and I think they should be well groomed!) It's scary...to say the least!
PS: I've put in my application along with a photograph and on the website. For the heck of it! Will keep you updated! :)
