Reception Dave Langford reviewed ''The Glamour'' for ''White Dwarf'' #60, and stated that "''The Glamour'' should be read rather than described in all its strange detail; hypnotic, tricky, uneasy and full of double meaning, it demands to be reread the moment you've finished. Excellent."

The Glamour (short Story)
"The Glamour" is a horror short story by American writer Thomas Ligotti, published in 1991 in his collection '' Grimscribe: His Lives and Works''. Plot summary The narrator, who has a habit of taking late-night walks and patronizing movie theaters, takes a stroll into a part of town that he has never visited before. During his wandering, he comes across a strange theater advertising a single feature known as "The Glamour". His curiosity piqued, he approaches the theater. The building is dilapidated and condemned, with the front doors boarded up and the marquee bearing the name of the feature badly damaged. However, he notices a light in an alleyway adjacent to the theater, revealing a side-entrance. Upon entering, he realizes that the building is quite odd. The entire place radiates with a sinister glow of purples and pinks, eerily reminding the narrator of human organs. The walls, floors and ceiling are covered with cobwebs reminiscent of human hair, but the narrator is dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Photographers use a combination of cosmetics, lighting and airbrushing techniques to produce an appealing image of the subject. (As cited by ProQuest .Publisher's website./ref> The focus lies in the beauty of the subject's body or portrait; as such, beauty standards are often a key determinant of glamour model trends. A popular subset of this type of photography is "pin-up", for women, and " beefcake", for men. Since glamour photography can include nudity, in such cases the distinction from softcore pornography is largely a matter of taste, although depictions of sexual contact are not considered within this genre and are considered pornographic. Glamour photography is generally a composed image of a subject in a still position. The subjects of glamour photography for professional use are often professional models, and the ...
