It's not about fashion
Fantastic article from the Atlantic about glamour and superheroes. The first page had me thinking they kind of missed the point, but the second page more than makes up for it. Virginia Postrel nails how powerful and how important this stuff is (and no, we're not just talking about superheroes...), and it would probably surprise no-one who's still following this thread that glamour is pretty closely related to what I've been calling the weird, the uncanny, etc, etc.
