"Good looks can have a real impact on workers' bank accounts, according to research by Daniel Hamermesh and Jeff Biddle published in the Journal of Labor Economics.
Attractive people earn about 5 percent more in hourly pay than their average-looking colleagues, who in turn earn 9 percent more per hour than the plainest-looking workers.
Plain-looking workers may also receive fewer promotions than those awarded to their more striking contemporaries."
Now, does this surprise you? Be honest. I remember cackling over this very issue with my team during my consulting days. At 11p.m., with no ETC in sight, we'd toss around names of people who we'd rather be stuck working with late at night. A few names that came up- not surprisingly- were Brangelina, the Jessica's (as in, Alba & Biel. Sorry, Simpson, you didn't make this cut), Gavin Newsome. Okay, so what do these folks have in common? Let's see... a killer bod, and an easy-on-the-eyes face! ah-ha! Theory proven right.
Thoughts?

That will be more than enough for most people, but it is possible to request more invitations in blocks of up to 500 if you run out."
