What is interesting is that the question was prompted by an exchange with the author of a style/fashion blog. "Modern glamour" to me is completely different from "glam." While I like a rock n roll edge, I want Sofia Loren, not Poison hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-v-glam#post-138156 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 23:05:22 +0000 cciele 138156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>^^^Me too! I definitely have the glam = "glam rock" association </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-v-glam#post-138149 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 21:30:36 +0000 taylor 138149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Khris and Rae on this:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-v-glam#post-138135 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:33:58 +0000 rae 138135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always associate "glam" with Glam Rock -- big hair, chains, tight pants on men, Axl Rose, etc. I suppose this dates me, lol. </p> <p>Glamour, on the other hand, evokes the same images as chewyspaghetti says: full length gowns, red carpets, fur coats, long gloves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-v-glam#post-138125 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 19:18:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 138125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question.<br /> I think of glamour being old school and elegant- red carpet, full length gowns and the like. I think of glam as not necessarily a good thing- sparkles, sequins, huge false eyelashes, and for some reason drag queens come to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-v-glam#post-138123 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:57:58 +0000 Rosie 138123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been getting the feeling recently that some people (not on this site) use the words and styles "glamour" and "glam" interchangeably. To me, the two have very different meanings. I'm just curious what you stylish and smart ladies think. When you hear the two words, do they conjure up the same images? If so, what do you see? If not, how are they different? </p>
