A sleuthing journalist for an alternative Dallas newspaper (while attending a junior college one summer back in the day, I read the free copies they left lying around) uncovered a selective club for “beautiful people.”
The long and the short of it is, the club was founded by some attractive people in an effort to attract their attractive friends and other attractive people. Did I mention that the word of the day was attractive?
There was an episode of The Family Guy, He’s Too Sexy For His Fat, which kind of deals with this topic — although the cartoon suggests that there is some far-reaching conspiracy that caters to only hot people. I doubt that members of this club receive discounted items that ugly people do not (kind of like Eddie Murphy’s SNL sketch: White Like Me) or that they are given some kind of VIP treatment outside their club.
I also doubt that this is the first of its kind, nor do I think that it is of much importance… there is a club for every interest, so why not one for people that think they are hot?
And after looking through their photo albums, I think half of the A&M campus could make their cut… we are that caliente (the founders seem to have a good sense of humor about the whole ordeal too).
Note: this is also reminiscent of people that bitch about superficiality in MySpace.
Wow! A lot of those people are down-right Ugly. They should change their name from Beautiful Room to Delusional Room.

[...] In the past, I’ve mentioned clubs solely organized around superficial themes such as being “really attractive.” [...]
