To think you can only be glamorous if you are slim?

[frostytimes]

I just can't think of one large or fat person who I would consider classy and glamorous.
I can think of loads of larger women who I would consider very pretty or beautiful but not glamorous.
I am fat by the way so not trying to shake anyone, just sad that I'll never be glam!

Hair, make up, 'grooming', nails, toning, skincare routines, designer clothes...all a capitalist's wet dream and not shit men are talking about. (Although, there are a lot of campaigns now targeting men for make-up etc. Don't see that as liberating, see that as dragging them down.)

We need to be liberated from what we look like being tied to our worth. Wish i could lead the charge but i'm as brainwashed as the next person and am currently scheduling a nail appointment while drinking a slimfast. Hypocritical twat.

Technically with your 'theory' she would be the black person in that scenario?

I think she's just asking if she could ever be glamorous there's no need to be mean

Oh dear. Problematic analogy there.
It would be up there with, “I’m not racist, I’m black”. Like Kanye West.

Montserrat Caballé was both glamorous and elegant.And absolutely charming.

YABU glamour to me is nice clothes, nice accessories, lovely styled hair and well done makeup. It can be achieved if you’re a size 6 or 16.

Is this meant to be a list of fat women? Because 95% of them are most certainly not.

Really?

Not Sophia Loren? Gina Lollobrigida? Elizabeth Taylor?

"Glamorous" wouldn't exist as a concept if it applied only to one person ever.

She didn’t look anything like that last Saturday night on TV. She’s gained a lot more weight and while she’s pretty, she’s certainly not stunning for me.

I will give you Sophia Loren

I never saw the appeal in Elizabeth Taylor. I thought she was decidedly average. Plus you can’t drink so much and be glamorous.
GL was always second to SL . I always silently judge those who don’t stand straight and GL always had a neck that was at an angle to her body

To be glamorous is something more than. expensive clothes, good make up and lighting. It is poise and how you conduct yourself.
Falling out of nightclubs drunk or having blazing rows in public is not glamorous
Choosing clothing that leave little to the imagination or has been chosen for its lack of material in areas doesn’t make a person glamorous

Audrey Hepburn was glamorous.

Audrey Hepburn was the true epitome of Truman Capotes swans , thin , understated , beautifully and expensively dressed and attractive ,
but I wouldn’t label her as Glamorous.

Elizabeth Taylor and Sofia Loren on the other hand were Glamorous , curvy and all that fur coat, jewels, big hair and makeup is what I’d call glam.

I never saw the appeal in Elizabeth Taylor. I thought she was decidedly average.

You must move in some exquisitely beautiful circles if you think Liz Taylor in her heyday was "average". And even if you didn't personally find her beautiful, you must be very very detached from much of humanity if you can't understand why most people did.

I disagree. Nigella Lawson is incredibly glamorous for example. Although not fat, I wouldn’t call her slim either.

To me, Claudine Collins is the epitome of glamour, and she is by no means slim.

@SaySomethingMan The glamour in those old movie stars was about their lives or the portrayal of characters that lifted the filmgoers into the fictional world of the film. as @Jeanjane says. Ricks Bar in Casablanca was probably a sweaty place dense with cigarette smoke, most of the clientele were pickpockets and gangsters. The place your Mother warned you against.

But for 90 minutes the audience was transported. You want to be there. Do you want to be with the Kardashians?

You know that 16 isn’t an extreme size right?
maybe 6 to 26 would have made more sense here.

Think the issue with Marilyn Monroe is that someone decided she was a size 16. As you can see, she was clearly nowhere near a size 16, at least by today's standards. And I doubt she was considered remotely large.

Marilyn measurements were 36,23,34 when she first started , she was tiny, I think the issue is that her weight kept fluctuating , and if rumours were true , the photos where she looked bigger were because she was pregnant .

What bullshit there's LOADS of glamorous women of all shapes and sizes.

Unless you're only 5' tall, size 10 is slim? Or are you American?

Agreed and it’s especially disappointing when women who describe themselves as fat start this! 🤷‍♀️

Judith ralston from bbc Scotland weather.

Alison Hammond - have sen her in rl and she really really stands out she’s glamour it’s and has the most amazing skin it’s completely flawless

With respect, bullshit. I know some very glamorous plus sized women, and even more non-glam, slender women. What’s your definition of glamorous?
