We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived and glamour although the manufacturers won't like this cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour it's based on femininity.

Like charity I believe glamour should begin at home.

What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is enamoured of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?

Big dress cocktails party - I love that. It is my work but my work allow me to have glamour to wear beautiful and amazing dresses to go to big ceremonies.

I don't think I could live without hair makeup and styling let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.

Growing up on stage I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L'Oreal Paris iconic lipstick - it was instant glamour and I've been hooked ever since.
