glamour



Backstage after the KTZ catwalk show.

Thinking a lot about glamour these days, perhaps because that was a theme in our shoot on Friday, and also because.. well, there's never too much glamour in one's life, is there?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it thus:

glam·our
Variant(s): also glam·or \ˈgla-mər\
Function: noun
Etymology: Scots glamour, alteration of English grammar; from the popular association of erudition with occult practices
Date: 1715
1 : a magic spell
2 : an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness ; especially : alluring or fascinating attraction —often used attributively

(Here's a bizarre coincidence: we've been to the Llewelyn Peninsula, in Powys, Wales, this summer. For the first time. And it's very.. magical. Still, I have no idea what it's doing in that definition!)

So: what's your definition of glamour?
