The Beautiful People
Angelina Love and Velvet Sky were the original members of The Beautiful People, characters inspired by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. The team was known for its narcissistic gimmick. From 2007 to 2017, their characters were portrayed as arrogant blonde Barbie© dolls.
Their main goal as a team was to “cleanse” the TNA roster “one ugly person at a time”, based on the belief that their physical attractiveness was greater than that of others in the company. Their fixation with physical beauty was emphasized when they used cosmetics and hair spray as weapons. They also favored placing paper bags over the heads of opponents they regarded as ugly, as a way of humiliating them.
