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!

They're not threatening. They're sad and pathetic.

And those comments really just confirm what I already thought...

Do you really think all Glamour models are surgically enhanced or anything like Jodie Marsh or Alicia Duvall?! Are you really that naive and judgemental?! Most are just naturally beautiful women with great bodies.

expatinscotland, what makes them 'sad and pathetic'?

Sad and pathetic that they think this is a) in any way 'glamourous' b) modelling.

That they feel any form of validation having a bunch of wankers the likes of whom even buy those tabloids leering at them.

That's pathetic and sad.

'Most are just naturally beautiful women with great bodies.'

Most I've seen are surgically enhanced with dyed blonde hair.

glamour modelling is an oxymoron.isnt glamorous.isnt modelling and agree with expat comments

purposefully altering,stretching,implanting ones body is not a sign of confidence.in fact to me is indicative of low self esteem,attention seeking, and validation of self based wholly upon looks

you see jordan,jodie,alicia to me they look detached,unhappy and lacking in confidence

dear god i dont envy their lives at all

I don't hate women like these or Jordan.

I find them sad and pitiful.

That's the difference.

Couldn't care less if they made a fortune off their bodies.

Still find it sad they felt they needed to put their health continually at risk having uneccessary surgeries to make them feel better about themselves/earn a living.

To me, that says a lot about their confidence.

x-post with scottish.

exactly.

Don't even dislike them. Pity them. Feel sorry for them.

refuting your assertion women are jealous of jordan confidence.the way she confidently gets drunk,flashes her snatch,gets in brawls

gee yeah that is really confident

nice

KP brawls,drunkenness,boorish behaviour are well publicised.so if she is hung over after her well publicised mêlée surely that impacts upon her availability to her children. yes sure she has legions of staff to watch the children,but nonetheless it is certainly not desirable attributes for a mum

obviously you are a jordan acolyte and seek to defend her boorish ways.the faux surprise that anyone may suggest jordan is a lush,is touching and sycophantic

extensive knowledge of jordan?let me make it simple for you i goggled the words Jordan drunk

I would be interested in hearing arguments for "glamour modelling". I'm not particularly pro by any stretch of the imagination, for a variety of reasions, but would be willing to hear why people think it's a good thing.
Is it a good and valid career choice? (apart from financial aspects) Would you encourage your daughter/niece to go into it?

Sad young women with little respect or value in themselves = glamour model
