View Full Version : Glitter: the mark of the chav?


*carrie*

I went out with friends this weekend, and a new girl came out with us who looked like she had basted herself in orange (see tanning thread), stuck a few bits of dead horse in her hair for extension 'highlights' and...the worst bit... wore glitter eyeshadow!!! I then learnt she was into her dance music and promptly saw 'chav' in flashing lights above her head.

What is it with people and glitter eyeshadow? A bit of glitter for fancy-dress purposes is fine, but surely we ought to leave glitter to the tweenies?

I had glitter eyeshadow on on Saturday night - it's all I had left in the house, my "normal" make-up was elsewhere. I'm definitely NOT a chav though :blush:

Managed to get 3 of my male friends wearing it too as I had it in my bag - result!

My girlfriend wears glitter. She even has a spray that covers her in glitter. She's about as far away from a 'chav' as you can get. I think it's funny. Even more so when I get up in the morning and I'm covered in it as well!

I love the whole glitter disco look of the 70's. I personally wouldn't wear it though unless I was doing fancy dress, but each to their own.

Yeah, a lot of rock/metal types who 'dress like they want to' often look down at people who do the same I'm afraid. They usually fail to see the irony in that.

Next time you go out, you should get some glitter eyeshadow - look FAR better than her in it (obviously) and just make her go to Sportsman/Nelson, ending in Corp!

Line from will and Grace:

"You think you can get in heaven wearing Body Glitter. Well hey. you can't!"

I only remember this because my friend and I used to take the mick out of a colleague who always covered her knockers in it. Glittertits was her name.

I'm not here to glitter-bash and dance-music-bash.... I'm just having a bit of a rant because of aforementioned glitterball-lady. And I dress pretty straight-laced boring most of the time, so am definitely not a label-nazi (name-wise, not clothes-wise). I'm just doing exactly what I said I would try not to in my women-hating thread lol. Oh the irony! :hihi:

I know lots of 'rock/metal types' that don't look any particular way.... just as I know closet chavs who don't look it lol. I had to have serious words with my normally-indie chick sister who was found listening to the sort of dance music where that same woman does all the singing over the weekend.... I force-fed her QOTSA lol

Why? QOTSA are horrible and should be banned! It's about the blandest type of rock you can get.

There is better rock/metal out there. Maybe I need to force-feed you some quality listening material.

I think, like many things, it depends on how you wear it. If you smother yourself in it to go the shop in a morning for a pint of milk, you're possibly edging towards "chavdom". If you put a little bit on for a big night out, that's not so bad. I don't bother with make-up these days but had the occasional subtle bit on years back for the occasional night out.

email him and find out, it's just 'tim'.
He didn't need tim.berners-lee9415 nor an @ anywhere.com since he was the only address at the time.

PS - dance music is rubbish, but I don't think it can be used to identify chavs.
If she drank cider (cheap cider) and then wanted to fight you all afterwards, or stole your purse, then she was probably a chav.

I sometimes wear a really dark blue liquid eyeliner thats glittery, I think it looks really nice when you can only just see it. I agree though, glitter eyeshadow is only nice when its on the eyelid. When spread up to your eyebrows, not so nice!!

And flooz, I agree, I :love: Urban Decay stuff!
