Glamour

Getting all dolled up, even the plainest moth can become a butterfly. Looks are made alluring when body, nails and hair Are given glints of gorgeousness! One becomes candy for the eye! More flash than inner substance, it’s all external flair. Only inner beauty requires no assistance from a glam squad entourage. Ultra-chic yet likely vain are those concerned all the time with fanfare. Riches can buy glitz, but it’s merely a mirage.

An excellent Acrostic, both for content and delivery, Andrea. There is nothing wrong with a woman looking beautiful, but I certainly look for other credentials 'within'. Regards // paul

Getting all dolled up from time to time can be fun but one should not live in the mirage of vanity. Very nice, Andrea!

Wise and mature observations on glamour. External glamour is just a mirage. Inner glamour lasts with scintillating radiance.

Dear Andrea, we've been friends for so long and a mentor at one time. So you will forgive me for the cliche`. Your poem is so well composed because Avon is calling :)

Andrea, as usual, pure genius coming from the likes of you. LUV the line: "Only inner beauty requires no assistance from a glam squad entourage." Yer the BEST!
