Strange "Ugly Club" Takes on the Beautiful People
Strange "Ugly Club" takes on the beautiful people
A club for ugly people has been launched by an advertising executive with a big nose and jowly face.
The Hamburg Ugly Club is Harald Gasper's backlash against the beautiful people.
The 41-year-old German founded the club with the help of his lanky, big-footed wife.
Gasper says the ugly are tired of the idea that you have to be beautiful to get on in life, that beauty equals social power, and beautiful people earn more and get promoted quicker.
By coming together, they hope to show that they too have something to offer and that the world doesn't just belong to beautiful people.
"Ugly People of the World Unite" is the unofficial motto of the club, which attracted 270 members immediately after its launch in December 2005.
The club requires of its members that they identify one feature about themselves they are most unhappy about. Stomachs top the list, followed by noses and hips.
The club's role models include the new German chancellor Angela Merkel, the Duchess of Cornwall and the singer, Janis Joplin. They are all proof you don't have to be beautiful to succeed, says Gasper .
