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.

The discipline of desire is the background of character...Feeling gratitude and not expressing...The Black skin is not a badge of shame...Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk...You can't keep changing men, so you settle...I would much rather feel comfortable and feel beautiful...
