- The 'objective' link between beauty, intelligence and success. If only! Found at caile-girl's;)

- Love me, love my mug. "Given all this, it is hardly surprising that the cosmetics industry has global sales of $280 billion. But can you really fake the unfakeable signal? Dr Hamermesh's research suggests that you can but, sadly, that it is not cost-effective--at least, not if your purpose is career advancement. Working in Shanghai, where the difference between the ugliness penalty and the beauty bonus was greatest, he looked at how women's spending on their cosmetics and clothes affected their income. The answer was that it did, but not enough to pay for itself in a strictly financial sense. He estimates that the beauty premium generated by such primping is worth only 15% of the money expended."

- The Link Between Beauty And Intelligence
- "In a society that eschews prejudice, favouring the beautiful seems about as shallow as you can get.
Even now, the expression 'as ugly as sin' has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', to counter it. But the subtext of that old saw, that beauty is arbitrary, is wrong. Most beholders agree what is beautiful --- and modern biology suggests there is a good reason for that agreement.
Biology also suggests that beauty may, indeed, be a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one but, nevertheless, an instinctive one. The accumulating evidence suggests that physical characteristics do give clues about intelligence... and that these clues are also associated with beauty. And other work also suggests that this really does matter."
