Quotable + Return

I'm happy to report I'm back in action - healthier, happier, with much on my mind. Thank you for your patience with me while I worked and recovered! This week, looking forward to much sunshine and lingerie and macarons and flowers....

Does glamour empower women, or turn them into objects? It is important to remember that women practise glamour, they are not simply the object of the male gaze. And, historically, glamorous women were just as likely to be seen as dangerous to men as victims themselves. Glamour can represent self-assertion, sexual confidence, playfulness, pleasure and delight. But in the end, nothing empowers women so much as a good education and a well-paid job.
