Shallowness Breeds Shallowness?

This survey links the pursuit of money with the pursuit of beauty. Say it ain't so!

More than half of women believe that having a better body and looks would enable them to climb the career ladder at work, putting paid to the "brains over beauty" theory.

A survey published yesterday revealed that cosmetically enhanced celebrities were helping to undermine beliefs that looks play no part in job success.

Top Sante magazine found 51 per cent of women thought their careers would progress at a faster pace if they had a better body and were more attractive.

More than eight out of 10 women (83 per cent) also said that the modern celebrity culture had made men's expectations of women's bodies too high.

As a result of pressures at work and in relationships, growing numbers of women are considering cosmetic surgery.
