Moreover, for the true geniuses of glamour, a spool of thread and a few yards of gauze are all it takes to make one feel that one is Marie Antoinette spinning around Versailles. If glamour were easy, the entire fashion industry could do its thing on Sunday afternoons with a spool of thread and a few yards of gauze. Let me say at the outset that glamour and charm are notoriously difficult qualities to render on the page, and all those words like “mercury” and “lightning” and “ineffability” certainly apply, ditto “catching,” “capturing” and “chasing.” It may well be the case that we still hold “The Great Gatsby” in such high esteem because of those amazing parties to which none of us will ever be invited, and wouldn’t have been in the 1920s, either.
