My blog is called Glamorous fashion. Here I write about fashionable boys and girls, about the latest trends and directions, about fashion icons and victims. And only today I realized, that I have never thought about the original meaning of this word. Now, glamour is one of the widely used words, everything can be glamorous from a person to his or her hat! This word has almost lost its initiative meaning — it was an act of casting a spell in order to change things. But, nowadays, if something is glamorous it means that it is sexually attractive, beautiful and amazing as well.

There are even several ways of this word spelling — it can be written either in this way — glamour! Or in this way glamor! It can be met in a great number of books (mainly science fiction) and denote a lot of notions.

So, there is no unanimously view onto this term, but one thing is known for sure, anti glamour and megaglamour do exist. The following examples can perfectly emphasize my idea!

I suppose, it is not difficult to find out that nobody likes either fat and not beautiful body, or cellulitis. Have you tried to conquer one? Have you ever been reading anything about diets? Or may be even tried some of them? We all want to look unsurpassed and charming and just pay attention to our celebrities, they are all the time in the centre of attention, they can't look gaudy and have any drawbacks in their constitution. But sometimes, such things happen...

Kate Winslet, yeah, a star of the «Titanic» has been a chubby baby since childhood and it was extremely challenging for her to find her place under the sun! Her own opinion sounds like this, in order to be beautiful and sexual it is no use to look like a vacuum-cleaner hose. But she would have never played her star role in the famous «Titanic», because producers and directors view in just the opposite — in order to be attractive you have to be slim.

Now, let's have a closer look at Janet Jackson. There were a lot of rumors about her appearance, there are some people, which even don't believe, that Janet exists, because they hold on to opinion Janet and Michael Jackson is one person. But when we look at these photos, one we can say for sure — she had to eat less and to pay more attention to her appearance and, the most important issue, to keep her weight trim.

Then, let's turn our attention to beer belly's. The first one in this list is John Travolta. He used to be an actor with the most charming, irresistible mile and flawless appearance, but now it seems that he loose his grip and his belly looks awful.

It's a pity, but Val Kilmer can't be an example to follow, for teenagers I mean. His constitution has dramatically changed and now he looks more than unattractive.

Even the greatest sportsman of all times — Maik Taison looks like a bag with potatoes. I think, nobody can be jealous of Maik, if he dares to have a match.

Even Kirstie Alley, once elegant and beautiful woman, has turned into… sometimes really unpleasant looking woman. She is very fat and ready to wear everything very comfortable.

I hope, I didn't humiliate ones feeling, I am not an angry person, whose main aim is to find faults with other people. I know, that we are all people, and sometimes can feel ourselves under the weather or upset! But, celebrities are our examples to follow our guiding stars and, unfortunately, very often, because of their status, they have to be more demanding to themselves!

In this it is possible to meet yoga masters from different parts of the world. Also, they have their own over-water yoga pavilion.

As for me, it is almost impossible to connect Los Angeles to a profitable or serious spa center and resort. But, there is located Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic and it is extremely popular among celebrities and stars. Sonya Dakar has a nickname «Fairy Skin Mother», she can make perfect skin out of the most awful. She is a new magician of our century! Do you remember Gwyneth Paltrow's porcelain glow? She must be thankful to Sonya Dakar. Among her clients are Drew Barrymore, Fergie and Eve. The makes them look glam and stylish because of brand-new diets, skin care regimens and, of course, the main feature is lifestyle. Very rare she can use light therapy or diamond peels.

New York is another unexpected spa mekka! There are a lot of stars there, as well as spa resorts and centers! Cornelia Day Resort. It is more a relaxation center, that attracts such celebrities as Lindsay Lohan, Katie Couric and the Gastineau Girls. If to have a look at it, it is a glamorous and stylish saloon at the Fifth Avenue. There it is also possible to find cafe with delicious food, champagne and strawberries. A massage costs here more than 200 dollars. Also, it can offer the only one in the city Watsu Pool with salt water. This spa is gorgeous, prestigious and stylish.

Eyes! What can be more important to our friends, bosses, colleagues and just interlocutors. Never forget, while communicating, where do you look at? Yeah! At the face and then? Directly into someone's eyes. They are capable of revealing emotions, attitudes, reactions. It is very important to pay due attention to them, their appearance and, of course make up. Knowing how to apply eye shadows and how to create a successful eye make up seems more sophisticated than make-up of any other part of your face because here we deal with a great number of colors, methods and ways to make our eyes look irresistible. And, one minor detail, eye make up is the most effective one. As your eyes are a mirror of your soul and heart, of your inner world and preferences. They are main part of your body and face. It is so necessary to keep your eyes in focus. No doubt, a perfect make up, made in accordance with make up techniques can make a Queen out of a Cinderella. But, be careful, don't apply excessive eye shadow — it will make you look awful and unattractive!

So, the following techniques can be called the most important in eye makeup. They are basic as well. So, you can gather with your friends and make experiments with them.

Create the Illusion of Depth!

First of all, pat attention to what you are applying. Powder and compact eye shadows are the best variant, they can be used either moist or dry, they never leek and don't make combs. Pencils look beautiful and make your eyes bigger and wider, but if you can not make an even line, don' even try, your face will look untidy and awkward. Cream shadows are difficult to control.

Be ready to experiment!

Well, you have green eyes, so the only one color of your eye shadow is green! It is a common mislead. Don't afraid to make various experiments! Try different colors and you will see the difference and find the balance and an optimal variant! Try a technique of neutral eye make up, and in such a case people will look into your eyes and not at them. But, of course, neutral doesn't necessarily means, to make nothing out of yourself, it means to use different eye shadows — blue, gold, brown, pink, vanilla, but soft colors.

Emphasize your natural eyes beauty!

There are a lot of techniques and tools to do this! But, first of all, pay attention to the shape of your eyes and their color, remember that you have to accentuate your beauty and minimize drawbacks. Be sure, you have an access to a magnified mirror, it will shadow you the most noticeable drawbacks.

Take care of your eyes

That is the most important point — never take your heath for granted and always try your best to help your eyes stay sharp, beautiful and happy throughout the life.  If you have a poor eyesight I highly recommend you to Buy Contact Lenses in UK instead of wearing glasses.

Highlight your eyes!

Methods of eye shading and highlighting is used to emphasize shape of the eyes. It is necessary to apply both darker and lighter eye shadows, in such a case your eyes will look wider and you will look irresistible and just sexy!

There was a debut at Paris men's fashion week. A popular brand Christian Dior was represented by Belgian designer Kris van Assche. Van Assche's style is completely different from the previous designer of this Fashion House Hedi Slimane. Hedi was crazy about rock and roll and its tributes and Kris paid attention to 18th-century style.

It is a completely another story to tell. Just imagine, beautiful models, stand motionless under crystal chandeliers, wearing white clothes, Great deal of attention was paid to the details.

Slimane was noticed by the audience and its fans. He is a talented designer, inventor in the sphere of fashion. Let's just remember, that Karl Lagerfeld lost 93 pounds just to be fit into his leather suit. 

Van Assche was Slimane's assistant, he was taught his main techniques and style, tendencies and trends. But, society already feels the lack of good things for men. Editor-in-chief of magazine Vogue Hommes International, Olivier Lalanne mentioned that he already misses Slimane. He was a revolutionary. He was not afraid to provoke people and to shock them! People do not believe that it is exactly the situation, when an apprentice exceeds his teacher!
