Not ready to give it up

Today is my last day of being a glamour girl and I have to admit I don’t feel quite ready to give it up. It’s going to be hard to let go of my glamorous image because I’ve become so comfortable with letting the way I look take control of the way people act towards me and the way I behave around other people. I went into this role thinking that this lifestyle is simply there to please men and serve their desires but what I’ve actually find is that it’s more for the woman.

Although I put a lot of time each day into my appearance, it then allowed me to be relaxed and feel confident and comfortable in myself for the rest of the day. It’s going to be hard to let go of that.

Super service!

Went for a Christmas meal today with the family. The young man who waited our table had been taken in by my glamour girl image and paid me extra attention, he brought me a free drink and made sure I always got served first. It became a bit of a running joke throughout the meal and although it was quite embarrassing it was also nice to get special service. It made me think that I could get used to this!

Rage of the feminists

Still thinking about the way my girl friends were acting around me last night so decided to see how far this female hostility extended by having a look around the internet. Found a book called ‘Female Chauvinist Pigs‘ by a woman called Ariel Levy. The entire book is about her distaste towards glamour girls and how she thinks they are going against the entire history of feminism.

After my recent experiences I feel this view is slightly unfair, it seems snooty and bitchy rather than logical and thought out. I’m beginning to think glamour girls are slightly misunderstood.

 

A nail mishap!

Went shopping today and was getting on really well with the cashier, until I tried to take my card out of the chip and pin machine and I couldn’t reach it because of my false nails so had to ask him to get it out for me. Felt like my glamorous image was laughing in my face! Along with the cashier.

Unexpected visitors

Woke up this morning to the sound of my cousin and her family arriving to drop of Christmas presents so had to make my way downstairs to greet them. At first I was panicked, I’d got so used to being glamorous all the time that I was uncomfortable with the idea of someone seeing me first thing in the morning. However, I soon realised that with the fake tan, the nails, the super conditioned hair and the dyed eyelashes I looked glamorous enough .It was nice to feel prepared, all the hours I’d spent preening myself had paid off, and I now know no matter what time people unexpectedly come round I’ll never be caught looking or feeling like crap.

One of the lads?!?

Travelled back home to Grimsby for Christmas today. Got invited to my friends house where her and her older brother were having some friends round for a few drinks.

I expected my friends to think the new Thea was quite funny but they seemed to find it surprisingly uncomfortable. The weird thing was that I was getting on better with the boys than I was the girls, even though they were some of my oldest friends. The boys laughed at my jokes and seemed interested in what I had to say. I even started playing up to it and flirted like a giggling idiot. My girl friends seemed annoyed and I felt distanced from them. I also felt like I was being punished for something I hadn’t done.

I used to think that glamour girls spent a lot of time with men because it gave them a chance to flirt and boost their ego, which I admit is partly true, but could it also be because other women are so hostile towards them?

Slightly overdressed

The morning after the night before…. and I feel fine! Tried to keep drinking to a minimum for fears I would let my glamorous image slip. Admittedly I did feel very overdressed when I arrived as I was the only person who’d got really dressed up, and I wasn’t completely confident walking round in high heels, but after a while I became less aware of my image.

As glamour girls usually seem to come across as quite confident I decided to do my best to mingle and be sociable the whole night and ended up having a really good time. I talked to people I usually wouldn’t and had a great laugh with my mates.

Last night was the first time I felt like I’d truly gotten into the glamour girl role, and I really enjoyed it. It made me feel confident and in control of the situation, I had no worries and could just relax into the evening. All in all a successful night!

Finding my good side

It’s my staff Christmas party tonight so decided to spend some time taking photos of myself from different angles to find my ‘good’ side.

Now I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon beautifying for the party!

New nails!

Here’s a photo of my new nails, thought I’d show you the result of 2 hours work!

We are all animals

Was beginning to think my home manicures weren’t quite glamorous enough so made a trip to the beauticians today. I also thought it would be good to experience the sort of environment that glamorous girls are around. I decided have a full set of false nails as they’ll last the whole week and have the full glamour factor.

I ended up having quite a long conversation with the manicurist, Michelle, who is possibly one of the most glamorous women I’ve ever met, she is truly perfect in every way. It turns out she spends 3-4 hours on the way she looks every day but it has just become natural to her and part of her daily routine, just like eating or brushing her teeth.

She also made the point that it is in our instinct to make our selves attractive to the opposite sex in order to survive evolution. I hadn’t really thought of it like this before but it seems a perfectly logical argument for choosing this lifestyle. After all, we are only animals.

Total time spent on maintaining glamorous appearance: 4 hours 30 mins
