In home improvement, a project that adds minimal value to the home (and may actually decrease home value) and is undertaken on the whims of the homeowner. Usually done by someone with too much money on their hands. A DIY project, no matter how odd, typically doesn't qualify as a vanity project if they actually work on it themselves.
My rich uncle's latest vanity project was getting the solar panels ripped off his roof and replaced with a replica of Kennedy Space Center for his model rockets.

My trustifarian friend had a brand new kitchen demoed in the home she just bought because she thought it was too suburban looking. The granite countertops are just sitting outside if anyone wants them.

The most elite and difficult group to be accepted into on myspace. Only the Vain, the Beautiful, and the narcissistic are accepted. The acceptance rate is about 3%, 100 requests are received per day, only 3 people are accepted.

Ophelia Vanity (group leader) has silly rules for the group like, "Once you have been accepted, please add VIP to your name or you will be deleted." "You must participate in the forums." "You must add a VIP banner to your page or you will be deleted."

Even though Ophelia Vanity says you must be beautiful to be accepted, they generally accept the ugly emo people and deny truly gorgeous people.
That fat, emo girl over there must be in Vanity Is Perfection on myspace.

Woah, you're in Vanity Is Perfection!?!?! BUT YOU'RE AN EMO FGT!

When designers try to cover up America's obesity by making clothes two sizes larger than what's written on the tag.

Also, appealing to girl's obsession with skinniness by making them believe there is such a thing as a size 00.
Girl 1: "I used to be a size 14 but now I wear a size 8, I swear it's because I switched to a 12-pack of diet coke a day instead of the regular stuff and I only let myself splurge on even numbered days.. that is if I remember what day it is."

Girl 2: "Are you sure it's not vanity sizing?"

Girl 1: "No, it's definitely the diet."

-In the 1950's Marilyn Monroe was a size 12 which is now equivalent to what we consider a size 4. How's that for vanity sizing.

From here: "I did a vanity check on Google last night. Just out of curiosity, I wondered whether I was showing up in searches for my own name yet."

The check given in 2020 to Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As the infamous Donald J. Trump requested his signature on every check, though being denied by the treasury, he moaned and requested his signature to appear on the memo section of each check, an utterly pointless political move to appear as if HE is the one who had helped the American people, delaying those citizens who were in need of food and supplies by weeks or months.
PERSON#1: Dude, have you brought any food this week?
PERSON#2: No, i haven't ate for days, im still waiting for the Trumps vanity check to come.

A gay person who is attractive until they open their mouth. A vanity gay typically has a great physical appearance but is intellectually challenged.
He is clearly a vanity gay. He is like my stainless steel toolbox. It is very shiny but, when you open it up, there is nothing inside.
