How is Glamor Affecting Our Daily Lives

Romance is the glamor, which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. - Elinor Glyn

Glamor exists in everything nowadays! Fashion modeling, fashion designing and photography are now one of the fastest growing lucrative career options. Images of beautiful women and sculpted men are barging into our lives through the various forms of media. Gorgeous ladies persuade the average homemaker to indulge in luxury brands whereas the tall, dark and handsome model talks about the latest line of designer clothing. Glamor has definitely taken complete control and power over the lives of many. The question remains, can we handle it? Has the glamor world cast a spell on us? Well, this depends entirely upon the individual.

The world of glamor has all the shine and glimmer but with a shade of gray. Everybody is striving for that gorgeous hourglass figure and men are in pursuit of the fastest cars and the latest gadgets. There are certain groups of people who believe in starving themselves in order to achieve perfection and be glamorous. But then, who decides the level of perfection? Beauty is something that can't be defined and a person's innermost qualities counts more than the luxury brands he/she wears. The opulent interiors of a place do not signify a home. The luxurious fabric of the tuxedo does not indicate a kind and loving personality. But then, does that mean there is something wrong with the world of glamor?

Personally speaking, it all depends upon our own perception. We must learn to see and imbibe the best from everything. Glamor can affect our lives positively if we only focus on the way we think. If you must observe, think about the creativity that goes into the fashion shoot by a particular photographer. Or, appreciate the creativity of a fashion designer. However, aiming to lead a life of a model walking in a 5-inch heel would seem utterly meaningless, unless of course, you would do something to change your life for the better. It's better to take steps towards your dream instead of fantasizing about it. Let us allow glamor to enter our lives positively and let's be more realistic about other issues. The magic of glamor cannot cease to exist whether we like it or not!
