iwanttolive Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Hi LS, something that's been hanging on my mind for a while.. Do we live a less fulfilling life if we have not done (probably never will be) anything glamorous such as being a cheerleader, a celebrity or an air hostess?
Pyro Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 depends on what you want out of life. Means nothing to those who don't even think twice about those things.
Feelin Frisky Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I'd just die if I never make it to air hostesss. But seriosly folks, I'd be just a disappointed in myself if my highest achievement were simply to have been a celebrity. I don't want fame--I merely want success. If you really want fame all that much you'll wind up looking like Lady Gaga (or male equivalent). Maybe you can even pick up a cause after you've whored yourself to showbiz enough so that you won't feel too bad about the lengths you've gone to make sure everybody has heard of you. But if you actually believe in a cause, there's no shame in going straight at it and doing your best without the "overhead". You might even have done enough good when all is said and done to have "achieved" some fame. I don't know where it goes from Lady Gaga to just jerk fame by posing. She's won.
J200 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Personally I have always wanted to be rich and famous; a socialite like Kim Kardashian or actress or pop star like Britney. Air hostess is being a waitress in the sky, you make like $30k a year to start off? That's glamorous to you? They don't make a lot of money. Some air hostesses need Sugar Daddy's on the side to afford Louis Vuitton and a glam lifestyle. Even Los Angeles LAkers Cheerleders don't make a lot of money. Not something to aspire to. Glam to me is Kim Kardashian, make millions, Drive a Bently, Rolls Royce Phantom. Have a net worth in the tens of millions. Aim high please. No such rubbish as "waitress in the sky". That's a joke. Being an actress on big tv show is glam to me= HIGH six figures salaries and some make in the millions annually. Paris Hilton is glamorous to me. Making 30-$40k as an air hostess or cheerleader is a joke.

Do we live a less fulfilling life if we have not done (probably never will be) anything glamorous such as being a cheerleader, a celebrity or an air hostess? I think that most people want to be 'known' and visible, but not necessarily in the public eye. Perhaps just enough to feel connected to the world and to feel like they exist and make a difference to at least one other life, if not a few more. There are other people who want the fame, the adoring fans, designer outfits, famous boyfriends/husbands, mansions, expensive cars and holidays, etc. I think that life is what you make it or make of it. If you know yourself well, your capabilities and limits and also feel that you will not be fulfilled unless you're a cheerleader, celebrity or air hostess, then by all means, go for it, work hard for it, don't lose sight of the end goal and life your dream to the fullest when you achieve it.
Feelin Frisky Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I'd like to make the most money anyone has ever made and then blow everyone's mind by gambling it all on thousands of businesses that will put other people to work and give lots of people chances to build fortunes through my help. The worst sin is to "die with the most toys" or leave all my money so some undeserving parasites. I don't care about being on some shi+ celebrity rag or even Time Magazine's person of the year. My message must be stronger than my image and for that reason, I hope to evade fame as much as possible. Legend is much better.
Author iwanttolive Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Making 30-$40k as an air hostess or cheerleader is a joke. I don't make the cut for even that. I wish I could at least be an air hostess or a cheerleader

Author iwanttolive Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Can you tell me how glamour has anything to do with the categories you've referenced? Those categories are official validation of beauty
threebyfate Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Those categories are official validation of beautyGlamour and beauty aren't synonymous. As far as not living without being one of the referenced categories, if your view is that glamour and beauty are synonymous, are you suggesting that everyone who isn't beautiful hasn't lived? Beauty is also subjective.
starryeyed12 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Ok, ok instead of dwelling on the examples you listed (which are NOT necessarily synonymous with glamour, IMO), I think I understand your question. Glam our –noun 1. he quality of fascinating, alluring, or attracting, especially by a combination of charm and good looks. 2. excitement, adventure, and unusual activity: the glamour of being an explorer. 3. magic or enchantment; spell; witchery. You ask, is your life less fulfilling if you don't possess the characteristics and/or appeal to be categorized as this noun? My answer is that every single one of us can experience our own glamour. Allure, attraction, charm are all extremely subjective. To someone out there, I daresay, you have been one of those characteristics at some moment in time. Many of those characteritics can be learned or improved upon. Are we all able to live the mega-glamourous lifestyle of the famous? no. But if you want to feel glamorous it starts by coming from within and taking care of yourself. When you look at it that way, then yes you're life won't be as fulfilled if you do not live a glamourous lifestyle- one in which you take care of and try to always present your best, most appealing, self.
