DONATELLA - LADY GAGA

I'm super into Lady Gaga's new album, but the one song that's really got me by the neck is " Donatella ". I just can't deny glamour and my love for it. I went through a phase when i disliked it and loved everything to be bare, real and un-adorned. I feel like aesthetically, this is who i am but in a far-off, fantasized way, i just love everything about glamour.

To me, glamorous women are always strong women. To be a woman of glamour, is to declare yourself to the world that you are one, forthright and loud. There is nothing quiet about glamour and there is nothing quiet about glamourous women either. Glamourous women want you to see them in their liveries and to acknowledge and recognize their presence of glamour. All glamourous women to me are strong because they want their presence to be recognized and they aren't afraid to show the world that they are into the brazen sheen of excess and taste ( although maybe not always in that combo ). For me, as i grow older, i have come to appreciate glamour more. I don't feel like glamour is simply about jewels and beauty and looking good. It's also a sense of time and being around for a long time and knowing that you deserve beautiful, luxurious things. To me, it's looking after yourself by wearing, buying and using the very best. This is why most older women are glamorous rather than younger women. It's also why older women do glamour so much better than younger women do.

My love for glamour comes from my love of aesthetics first of all but it's also my appreciation and enjoyment of the 'show'. I don't know which one i love more. Making an entrance or receding into the background. The plain, the bare, the simple - that stuff is awesome because it's so modest and un-imposing and i love modesty as much as i love glamour. But glamour that's making an entrance, stopping cars, excitement and Color. Some days i love wearing a white oxford shirt, some tan chinos and black flats. But then there are those other days when i'm like, " I want to wear my leather pants, my white fur coat and my Black silk camisole ". I can get ostentatious sometimes and if i wasn't living in such a modest sort of time when people are raising eyesbrows at you for going a bit ' out there ', i'd definitely get my inner Italian out more. I guess i love glamour because i like to make an entrance. But i've always been so aware of how bold i can be and it's been a constant state of debate for me to hide or to let it live. I've included a download for you here of the song.
