The point is that the following clip demonstrates how
dreadfully pallid, artificial and downright cheap the western idea of glamour
is. Here is no frivolous hairstyle, no frighteningly regular array of big white
teeth, no pouting mouth or puerile expression, no clinging curves, and not an
inch of cleavage or come hither leg. Here is only grace, balance, energy,
confidence and equanimity of expression. This is the very antithesis of glamour
as it’s usually presented, and all the more beautiful for so being.
YouTube has the full version of this scene, which you can
find here if you want
to watch it. Unfortunately, Blogger can find only the final part of it. Don’t
ask me why; one has to be attuned to Googlemind to know such things, and I’m
not. Still, it’s enough, I think.
