The Hot and Gorgeous Club

[divabat.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out my story but I'm stuck at a very important plot point and I could use some help.

My story involves the Hot and Gorgeous Club, which are a group of young and attractive people who are the crem-de-la-crem (can't spell :P) of society and likes everything to be posh. Joining the club is invitation only (the process is described in the novel). In my story, the MC gets invited to this club, and he gets into trouble when his friend writes an article about young adults' buying power using the name "Hot and Gorgeous Club", not knowing such a club exists. The other members accuse him of breaching secrecy (the only way you know about the club is if you join it) and tell him to get rid of his friend.

I need a reason for them to be secretive. So far I have that they have somewhat illegal dealings with the retailers they frequent, but I need more ideas. Anything?

thanks :D

a. they don't need a reason, except that it makes them beel better about themselves (see: greek life).

b. they are the body hosts for other worldly little space critters

c. they have tapped into the school's computer and they get all the quizzes in advance, and have the answer key to the SAT.

ps. "posh" is an acronym meaning, "port out, starbord home," and was affixed to the steamer trunks of the elite who went on cruise ships in the turn of the last century. they would rent two different staterooms, one on the port (left) side of the boat for the departure half of the trip, and then they would have a starbord (right) cabin for the return leg, to have the best possible view, and would have northern light, which would not infiltrate the cabin as much.

so ends this week's "new money" history lesson.

hah! They're all either working or in college, so the school thing doesn't quite work. But the body host thing is funny XD
