     Who wouldn’t be a glamor girl, a certain-to-enamor girl?
     What joie de vivre in her life is given her to cram,

     ’Mong men the havoc-dealing girl—in short, the girl with glam.!

   • 2016 October 7, Sukhdev Sandhu, “Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy by Simon Reynolds”, in The Guardian‎:

     Blokes sporting make-up and vertiginous platform boots, songs that were precision-tooled melodramas of bubblegum pop and football-terrace stomp, a belief in pop itself as a liberating space for fantasy and shape-shifting: it’s perhaps unsurprising that glam, in whose rise Bowie played a huge part, has never been taken very seriously.
