This new L.A. nightclub will be guarded by beauty judges at the door
A new Los Angeles nightclub will admit only good-looking people. The club is being opened by BeautifulPeople.com, an elitist dating site, and will station beauty judges at the door to decide whether nonmembers and guests can enter, CBS Los Angeles reports. A site official said members were tired of going to clubs "hoping to meet similarly beautiful people, only to spend the night wishing that the lighting was lower."
The club is set to open in West Hollywood in early 2017, and its panel of judges will include models, celebrity trainers, and "Hollywood insiders and influencers."
But don't worry, you average-looking folks: The site director promises "rare exceptions will be made on the grounds of wealth."
