Visitors to www.beautyparty.net www.beautyparty.net can rate those posted on the site on a scale of ‘king of blingo to ‘lowlife nuttino o all good dirty, nasty, malicious fun! The site has only been live a few days and has already attracted over 300 individual picture submissions – some have to be seen to believed says Seth Jackson of YR Media who created the site.
