In today’s economy, looking good is no longer something we can dismiss as frivolous or vain. How beauty can affect your job, your career, your life.

You can say there is no discrimination but looks and making fun of people (overweight comes to mind) for their looks is the last acceptable form of discrimination.

I also had a hairdresser tell me once that she had men come in and ADD a little grey to make them look more distinguished for a job interview.

Some rightwinger noticed that Obama's level of grey increases/decreases on how seriously wants to be thought of.

Beauty is the last big discrimination point. And in many ways it is getting worse. You have to love movies like Shrek where the good guy is the ugly one. And his female lead chooses being an orge over beauty.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
