Recently, we took to the web and asked, "What does 'GLAM' mean to you?" Since glamour is a universal language with everyone having their own unique definition, we were thrilled to hear people of all backgrounds chime in on this hotly contested topic. Here are several inspired responses to our question:
What does glam mean to me? Glam means grace, elegance, and style without trying. It comes naturally. ;-) -Tawnya Shaw
Showing the world a gorgeous new you with style and a edge of spunk. -Rosalyn Burrise
GLAM....is a word that is a reputation of your own inner self. It shows your own personally style and it is almost like a self expression, but it's done in a mature, positive, and like a very "diva" kind of way. So that basically sums it up -- to be a confident, stylish, positive, graceful, go-getter type of woman....well @ least to me, fashionable and GLAM..morous! -Hakika Schuler
Well, to me it's more of an attitude. An air of confidence in not only your appearance, but also in interactions with others. It's being different and proud to be different, wearing a look, be it clothes, shoes, accessories or makeup, that only you could get away with wearing.
It's the way you walk, talk, smile, be silent, but everything with the knowledge that you look good because you feel good about yourself. You're you, and you don't need to compare yourself to others, nor do you feel inferior to them.
That's pretty much it for me. -Cecile Thalley
G.L.A.M. = Giving (Your) Life Absolute Meaning
...And living a Glamorous Life is not JUST about rocking the latest, hottest fashions, but also incorporating that high standard throughout every important aspect of your Glamorous Life; your relationship with God, strong family ties, career, friendships, love, and playing a positive role in your community! -Patricia Alegria
Glam, to me, means being FABULOUS in who you are and letting the best of you SHINE, inside and out!! -Na’Omi Bull
GLAM means loving yourself enough to spend the time and money to be and look your very best!!! -Dawn Chase
Glam, to me, would mean being beautiful on the inside and out. Being who you are and how God made you. Also having a sense of style of your own. That's glam to me. -Neka Adams
Today, GLAM means to me the opportunity to reflect upon myself and recognize the positive characteristics, physical attributes and strengths about myself ! In turn, I am fully capable of recognising such qualities of others and promote and encourage the development of a more positive perspective on life simply by starting with self! Basically to change the world one person at a time you must start with self and if we treat and speak positive it will sow onto a multitude!! -Lady Tristane
GLAM, to me, is the sistrepreneur venture of a black woman who travels along the pathway of women like Madame C.J. Walker, and the cosmetic makers of ancient Kemet. From the beginning of the thought, GLAM has been and has come to be cosmetics which adds to the beauty of its wearer. Complimenting many shades, GLAM enhances the final result of any beautiful face.
That's all for now...
When I look into the mirror, I see the love. Then I feel the love. -Modibo Kambon
Glam to me is taking the time each day to make sure I look presentable. Not like loads of make up. But just a lil' lip gloss making sure I greet the day looking ready for the world. Embracing my inner beauty as well as my outer shell. Loving me!! I am glamorous in self love and by me displaying that for myself it transfers into my love for others. To me that is glam. When you walk into a room and everyone knows you don't just look like you have it together your energy exudes completeness. -Mikki Lethridge
