I Can't Think Of a Word

Wow, 80,000 different species of nematodes and I forgot all of them!

I still can’t come up with a single word that describes the easily grasped concept of the OP: attraction both demanding of and limited to beauty and wealth.

(But if its adherent is also eligible to be a cast-member on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” how about another word I conisdered but found no precedent in Google: "Culo-fornian?")

Materialism could also cover the looks part as well. Dangit, I almost had a different word. It means focused on earthly things, things you can grasp with your hands, I think it’s a synonym for materialistic.

Thanks folks. I awoke with still no idea what I am looking for (as in word) but the responses were far cleverer than I thought of- materialistic is good and Cluriacan was certainly innovative.

Maybe we could go with a slightly nuanced ‘exoteric.’

Bling-lover? :slight_smile:

temporal: pertaining to or concerned with the present life or this world “temporal joys”

Best I can do.

I think “superficial” does it.

Sorority girl?

Is a sensualist, which might get you close. Of course, it also means a person from Sybaruis, so that ruins the “Looks, money and nothing else.”

Why can’t I find someone who is good-looking, rich, and from a resort town in Ancient Greece?
