Pretty simple right? The word glamour which has entered our lexicon to signify occult practices, a magic spell, or an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness. But, it also signifies something else: namely the alluring or fascinating personal attraction.
But what do we think of when we think glamour? A look, a glamorous lifestyle, an ‘attitude’…or a string of pearls with the little black dress? It’s all of these things…glamour ‘signifies’ a look, a lifestyle, an attitude fused through fashion.
Even Leave it to Beaver’s mother wore pearls whilst in the domestic kitchen in the 1950’s.
