The elements that create glamour are not specific styles — bias-cut gowns or lacquered furniture — but more general qualities: grace, mystery, transcendence. To the right audience, Halle Berry is more glamorous commanding the elements as Storm in the X-Men movies than she is walking the red carpet in a designer gown.

I think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes...Take care of your body. It's the only place you have...Life is the art of drawing without an eraser...I don't know where I'm going from here...Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven...Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small...
