The negative side of glamour modelling #276

Who are the fans and what are they exactly fans of?
Who are the people who don't like glamour modelling and the models, and why don't they like it?
Is there a career beyond glamour modelling?

I like glamour modelling and the models. Some people like them a little too much though. Some like them for only (ahem) a couple of reasons and nothing more beyond that, and their behaviour reflects that. Some hate them (I say to the naysayers that it's not 'hardcore pornography'...imagine if they saw that! Then they'd have something to actually complain about!).

The British glamour scene can be depressing and thoroughly dispiriting. It's possibly because the lines are blurring and people want to see whatever they want to see (critics and consumers alike).

A career beyond glamour modelling seems almost impossible in that the public have already made up their minds about the glamour scene and what models can and can't do.

Who's the most successful glamour model right now? It's Katie Price (aka Jordan) and she gets by through good will from the tabloid media who continue to write stories about her and create her media personality as well as there being a surprisingly strong and sustained public interest in her.

She's done great for herself but I don't particularly care much for her or the artificial cottage industry that she's created around herself.

  1. I was surprised to see Jordan turn up as a celebrity guest on TOP GEAR once, and to see how well she got on with Jeremy Clarkson (who I would not have expected to be sympathetic to her).
