Like beautiful scarves and jewellery can be both elegant and glamorous.<br /><br />I agree about natural beauty though. I would also prefer a Shaker table to something more fancy.

Elegance, sometimes, but glamor (for me) implies artifice. I tend to like beauty that is more natural - and clean-lined - a Shaker table over something more ornate, say, even though the latter is more glamorous. Particularly if the photo used to accompanied this post is meant as glamor - it's completely creepy to me!Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-40058528279191480952014-04-06T09:16:05.534+01:002014-04-06T09:16:05.534+01:00Jenny: True, it's embarrassing when someone...Jenny: True, it's embarrassing when someone's trying to glam up but none of it quite works and they just look ridiculous.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-37248033743655201042014-04-06T08:56:58.998+01:002014-04-06T08:56:58.998+01:00Grannymar: You're right, the way someone moves...Grannymar: You're right, the way someone moves and presents themself can create glamour.

To prove her point she changed into a Hessian sack, added a belt at the waist and a string of beads at her neckline. She looked glamorous and elegant. No expense there.<br /><br />I have yet to visit Venice, but always thought it to be a place of glamour.

For example, Vancouver is a wonderful and interesting place, but beneath the glamor, like most cities, there are parts that are rather squalid.

You have no idea how many compliments that one piece of silk gets.<br /><br />And I can of course flaunt my club membership which is another glamour quotient for the page 3 wannabes. <br /><br />Both incidentally go back to a time when living was more laid back and unimortant things like these did not matter. They were simply part of a life style of the middle class.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.com
