'Beautiful' Web site is only skin deep
'Beautiful' Web site is only skin deep - Yahoo! News
I was going to comment about the new show on ABC ('Hooking Up') but I wanted to give it just one more week.
This article made me kind of rethink that - but you all know I am going to have an ongoing social commentary/rant about dating and trying to 'hook up' myself. It's part of the programming here on 'Colette's Grave'.
What the TV show appears to be, to me at least, is nothing more than 'beautiful' or at least 'pretty-enough-for-tv' people who are successful, in their early 30s or late 20s - trying to find Mr. (mainly) or Mrs. 'Right'. Unless I am missing somehting there are no single moms/dads, or women in their 40s - which blows. I want to see a realistic scenario played out (but hey what am I thinking, it's TV land!)
Also some of the show has caught some (but not much) of my interest in the personality/psychology aspects involved; (two of the women who do appeal to me - (the artist and the young Black woman who owns her own business), because these two seem to at least be trying to stay true to themselves) - but all in all it's just fluff; beautiful people - looking for more beautiful people so they can make more beautiful people so they can then get divorced and create ugliness all the way around.....
But this new web-site apparently is right up front about the fact that you have to BE BEAUTIFUL to join the clique. Ah high school revisted....
No thanks....

Fuck "beautiful dot com" I'll never go there unless it is to spam them with pictures of vintage side show freaks.
