10 Most Vain Cities

TotalBeauty.com just recently did an analysis to determine the 10 most vain cities in the US. Based on measurements like number of plastic surgeons per 100,000 people, and amount spent on hair color, etc, 10 cities were ranked.

The winner for the most vain -- not LA. In fact, LA was only number 5. NEW YORK CITY, you're so vain!

Not that surprising I suppose but I would have expected LA to top the list for sure. The big surprise was Charleston, West Virginia ranked merely for its number of tanning salons! Crazy.

This vanity is coming at a time when all we read about is how we are collectively cutting back. Coloring our own hair, doing our own nails, waiting longer between haircuts. All true. But in the end, I'm hoping that our American spirit is kicking back in. As Billy Crystal said back in the day, "You look mahvahlous!".

What's your experience? Jim.
