to object to the term 'glamour model?'

[clam]

OK, I'm aware I'm probably going to sound like a Daily Mail ranting version of my mother, but I'm becoming increasingly irritated by this term being bandied about. Isn't it just soft porn, basically? Glamorised, to make it sound like a desirable ambition for girls without too much up top - that'll be up top in the brains department, not the boobs.

Bah!

You're right it's not to do with glamour it's to do with porn. The term "glamour model" is very misleading.

Yes agree. I call them tit models.

ROFL.

V accurate.

Although could confuse RSPB types.

Although it's a really stupid term because they aren't actually modelling anything, are they.

they are modelling self-tan, the latest in boob implants and of course some curious body glitter

Oooh bitchy bitchy.

Glamour models should be called 'too thick, too short' for anything else.

it must be pronounced 'glammah!' otherwise its confused with actual glamour - fashion and magazines and such - the two things are not related!

The term 'glamour' in modelling actually applies to lingerie and other modelling which require few clothes. A lot of which is perfectly 'above board' and fairly respectable.

glamour model,sanitised term for unsuitable for modelling but will do tits oot and sunday sport

glamour models sell sex as a product, the image is usually salacious -and is based upon pervceived sexual availability

Ah, but midori, if you say 'lingerie model' to me, or 'swimwear' I just think "oh, they must have a nice body." .But 'glamour' just means "tits out and pose provocotively for the boyz." Which equals sex, really. And (soft) porn.

glamour model is a euphemism for tits oot wannabe.

synonymous with

footballers
guess who i boffed stories
sleaze

What is the proper name for page 3 type modelling midori?

The word "glamour" always conjures up Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Lana Turner ... yup, very misleading term! YANBU.

Yes, page 3 etc is also Glamour modelling, but in the modelling industry it encompasses a lot more and not all glamour models will do either topless or nude.

Not much glamourous about any of it though, but then modelling isn't that glamourous anyway.

I laughed my arse off when I found out what a 'glamour model' was.

It's a stripper.

you forgot the 'lazy' in front of stripper expat. After all a proper stripper at least expends some energy to make money

glamour model isnt associated with great intellect.i do think thick.usually plastic titted,sprayed,primped and glossed,squeezed into a thong.yuck

i agree, scottish.

I wouldimagine the reason some women feel the need to call them thick (as if they are all the same because they have the same job) is because they are already pissed off that their husbands want to look at them, so they have to imagine some faults...

I am sure some are thick, intelligence is hardly a requirement of any sort of modelling, is it?! However, that doesn't mean they are all the same...

thanks for the psychobabble analysis.pish as it was, it did make me smile. Aha so projected jealousy and displaced insecurities are reason you think women are threated by women like alicia duvall/jodie marsh/et al

'they are already pissed off that their husbands want to look at them, so they have to imagine some faults...'

Why on EARTH would anyone with any self-respect want to be with a man who wanted to look at some plastic-fake bimbo?

Eeewww.
