What "GLAMOUR" Really Is?

[@maniyasha134]

I just hate Instagram fashion. That's it.

[@cirilla9741]

I think that 'effortless' is a good word for the opposite of 'glamourous'

[@Susana-yg6hk]

My friend likes to spend a lot of effort and time to look trashy

[@audrey9able]

@dreamland i guess what Aly is pointing out how glamorous looks do take time and effort. Even someone looks comfortable in their glamorous look, it did take time and effort. Being effortless doesn't mean it didn't take time, but I think it just took less effort to do. Make of that what you will. But I think with Aly's observation, glamorizing takes a lot, whichever style that is.

We have a phrase in the U.S., I don’t know if you have it in Europe, “new money, old money.” The implication is new money shouts, old money whispers. Old money does not need to show off in every day dressing. They care about quality, but not the big logos. Another aspect of adopting style from the rich: I live in Hawaii. Back in the 1800s, when Hawaii had a monarchy, our Princess visited Queen Victoria and received a beautiful, intricately engraved gold bangle from her. Over time, this gold bangle was something all Hawaiian women aspired to have, up until present day. I got mine in the 1980s when gold prices were down. Many women had stacks of them. They cost around $300 to $400 each. Today they are $3000 to $4000 as the price of gold went up. They have become traditional and treasured heirlooms. Both my daughters have them, and one daughter is gifting her daughter one for Christmas.

[@ZurditaDinamita]

Yes, we see that old money/new money thing in Europe too. In my country we call that new riches "rich fed up with bread" 😅 A lot of people worries about having a Chanel while they probably have debts, but their prioritiy is to pretend with their new phone/purse/etc.

The bangle story is so sweet! I have a white gold heart shaped brooch with a great many diamonds in it, which I shall leave to my granddaughter and hopefully she will realise that it is real! I only wear it with quite casual things or earthy wool so it doesn't look so over the top. I may have to invest in some bangles for her too :)

Remember that opera singers or actresses such as Marilyn Monroe ,Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor were NEVER seen has classy women. They were the Kim K of that time. It’s so funny how the western world is so controlled by branding and marketing.

[@LiviaBrash]

opera singers pre-20th century perhaps?

[@mtngrl5859]

@@hr7460 Definitely! Maria was hurt by her association with Onassis since both were married, and women mostly got the blame for any infidelity back then. One of the benefits of the " Golden Age" of Hollywood from the 1930's- late 1950's that there was a great deal of "types" that one could resonate with. While there were less Women of Color, there were gorgeous women like Dolores Del Rio, Yvonne del Carlo, and Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne among others. Compared to today where people like to talk about diversity there was far more representative films about women: Bette Davis films that were labeled as " women's films" that men loved to go to as well. Today " chick flicks" are derisively viewed by men and many men are resistant to them. Many middle class women like my mother were motivated to have their own level of glamour. My mother would never go anywhere without dressing well even if it was to the grocery store. In department stores, one had makeup created personally for women. I remember my mother having individual powers created for her at the Charles of the Ritz counter at Saks Fifth Avenue for my mother. One's hair was always "done", and the apparel was meant to highlight what worked for women.

[@melissadure8591]

Thank you for this! Most of people confuse glamour with sophistication...

[@goosebump91]

Yes! I imagine sophisticated to be a more classic, clean cut style

[@brooklynsbaby4367]

Interesting topic! I think that nowadays Glamour often goes hand in hand with cheap and tacky, even if the look itself is expensive. Casual is more chic. Maybe in the last year or so the "old money" style has risen in popularity amongst teenagers, guess that there is a touch of glamour to it. But in general, excess has become very popular. First it was a ton of makeup palettes, now it's a ton of skincare and a new wardrobe each season, excess plastic surgery, a lavish lifestyle, money, cars, trips. Now we don't only admire the rich, we are pressured to be rich and dress rich. I love your rather holistic approach to beauty and style and I'm glad that I found you while I was growing up. From you I heard things like "Round face should be shown, it shouldn't be hidden", "Hooded eyes are beautiful" and I generally started to appreciate my features, body and essence and work with them instead of trying to hide them.

Imo you can, you have to be smart about it tho. If you look up dita von teese interviews she actually touches upon this a lot. I’m a big fan of hers and I’ve learned so much about the old Hollywood glamour that she poses but it’s like a language you have to get familiar with. Especially because it touches on the imagination and mysticism, and creating mystery. I had her book for a while and it took a while for me till it dawned on me that she’s an artist who’s curated her life with everyday ritual discipline in things she likes and associates herself with!

I’m not a big fan of Gwenyth Paltrow, but she and other goopy, Whole Foods-y women like her are who I think of when I think of a very rich woman. Linen, raw wood, uncut crystals, are all an expensive commodity, and are all very opposite of the “glam” aesthetic. She’s rich enough that she doesn’t have to show off anymore. It’s in cycles, but natural, rough hewn things are status symbols now that everything can be mass produced and perfect and shiny. The “glam” aesthetic can sometimes seen as very cheap and trying too hard. Don’t get me wrong, the natural aesthetic can look cheap too (so many “modern farmhouse” houses gone wrong lol) but there’s a reason why the kardashian/jenner aesthetic has changed so much in recent years to be less overtly over the top.

This is such a great treatment of "glamour" and "swank." I was in a discussion some years ago where people were discussing their idea of "swanky." Some thought "swank" was classy and others thought it was tacky. Much prior to that my husband and I visited the Hotel Zaza in Houston just to look at some rooms (we are involved tangentially with a local hotel where we live). Wish I could find pictures to do it justice...anyway, at the time it struck me as a place where someone like Elvis Presley would stay. It was expensive in a tacky way, where everything was exaggerated. In the lobby were two young women scantily dressed, passing out rubbery plastic rings that lit up and sparkled from a battery inside. I thought it was a little funny and kind of wondered at it. I'm from really old Texas, and it reminded me of a place some oil man who grew up poor might go to find tacky, expensive call girls, and expensive whisky, and things like that. What a world! It was interesting, to say the least...

[@MellowJelly]

So fascinating. The main thing I take away is how much emphasis we put on the aesthetic and presentability of women. Like we are objects of beauty, and if we don't all look a certain way we aren't considered beautiful. So odd and sad. I kinda hate where society is at. Even when Marilyn was around she got surgeries, bleached her hair, changed her name, had to conform and play a character at all times. She seemed quite sad, lonely, isolated, depressed in the end.

Such an interesting video Aly. Very well thought out. I didn’t know the origins of the word but what you explained makes sense. I’ve always associated things like showing a brand on clothing and accessories with cheap and tacky. They usually are worn by people who are not so used to money but when they can afford something they like people to see that they have it. My mother told me to buy a good quality handbag but she would never say buy a Chanel handbag for example. The way people like the Kardashians have used exaggerated body enhancements to “glam up” is interesting now that I think about it. It isn’t attractive in my opinion but they find it makes them feel glamorous maybe. It is a far cry from elegance. It’s interesting the way things are changing due to awareness of climate change as well. Even things like recycling materials when possible. For example Christmas decorating and gift wrapping and homemade gifts. Also the surge in secondhand clothing to reduce landfill and the trend towards fixing household items instead of disposing of them and buying new.

The world "glamor" now refers to different things. Glamor came from litterature, was about glam old cinema, but it also a world which define a supermarket girly sexy consumer profile. It is the same thing for the world "Gothic" : it defines several things and the meaning of it changed over decades and several meaning added each other.

Uh I forgot glam rock!!!

I always loved boho/cottage core aesthetic. I remember I loved the smell of wood in the course since I was little.

[@pattimurphyrocks]

The word glamour is used as a verb in the television series True Blood. The vampires are able to "glamour" their victims, in short mesmerize them with their beauty.

[@hotjanuary]

Yeah. It’s pretty popular in the fantasy genre: “The fae glamour you” or “The fae cast a glamour” depending on which authors you’re reading.

So interesting! I have been following your channel since 3 years ago and I still love it

Hi, that was different but a very interesting Journey! Thanks Aly.

Aly, Escort is a very well known word in English. There are even some who attribute the word Escort with the word Whore. 99% of the time the Escorts in America have sex with their clients for money. Even though this is technically illegal there is a loophole that every Escort has learned to use in a phrase they tell their clients. "The money is for my companionship only. For my time that we spend together. Any other thing that happens is simply between two consenting adults." Generally once that declaration is made the escort and the client end up in bed together shortly afterward. What this does is prevents cops from going under cover trying to bust the escort for prostitution. Once intent is made what the money is agreed upon, then no law is broken. Which is why Escorting, in the eyes of the law, is a perfectly legitimate business.

There are also "sugar babies" which is generally a more long-term arrangement.

[@thereturningshadow]

@@squash6497 True.

@Lucia C What dream world do you live in? First off men are escorts as well. Second, if a woman is busted for prostitution the guy she is with is also arrest for SOLICITING PROSTITUTION!!!! He gets a set of handcuffs also. Third there are male prostitutes as well who get bust. So stop living in a propaganda bullshit world. Men get arrest just as much.

[@user-ms1ue8bd8r]

@Lucia C …….. they both get punished…..

[@Fernandanatac]

@@thereturningshadow Laws vary from country to country. There are countries where only the prostitute is punished (yeah there are male prostitutes as well, but it’s undeniable that there are a LOT more female ones and that the whole profession is seen as a “woman thing”), there are a few countries that tried to invert that and only punished the client. In my country, prostitution in itself is not a crime, the crime is “organizing” it and profiting over the prostitutes work (basically, being a pimp/having a brothel). 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Nancytheredhead]

Great job! You are so educated and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing

[@theblytonian3906]

You're such an interesting lady. I enjoy your discussions as much as you singing performances. Je ne sais quoi is the elusive ingredient beyond superficial beauty that does it for me. A young Brigette Bardot had it. The young "Mata Hari" had it. Catherine Deneuve still has it. Diane Keaton has it.

[@diodio520]

Brilliant analysis.

Hi Aly. Yes another great educational video.
