glam

Glamour; glamorousness.

Who wouldn’t be a glamor girl, a certain-to-enamor girl? What joie de vivre in her life is given her to cram, The dinkum sex-appealing girl, the subtle-charm-revealing girl, ’Mong men the havoc-dealing girl—in short, the girl with glam.!

Ellipsis of glam rock, the fashion and culture associated with this genre.

Blokes sporting make-up and vertiginous platform boots, songs that were precision-tooled melodramas of bubblegum pop and football-terrace stomp, a belief in pop itself as a liberating space for fantasy and shape-shifting: it’s perhaps unsurprising that glam, in whose rise Bowie played a huge part, has never been taken very seriously.

Glamorous.
