Leeds Meens Moobs

Well...
 
What does one say to the news that Leeds - the city that rocks, the city never sleeps - appears to have been built on sausage rolls.
 
What else can one say in the wake of a nationwide survey that reveals Leeds has been officially labelled as the Moob Capital of the United Kingdom, nipping in ahead of Swansea and Glasgow to, ahem, breast the tape first, as it were.
 
Fortunately the spotlight won't be on the chaps with chests this Friday night as it's the second Leeds First Friday event of 2013.
 
This means that the girls will be out in force, squeezing themselves into an ever-so-slightly tight bra to enhance their assets.
 
As you can see from the photo, our own Miss Lixx, that demure sweet young lady, knows a thing or two about making the most of her natural charms; it just goes to show that there's no point in shelling out thousands for implants when a Matalan bra can have such a magical effect.
 
After all, it's not every girl who can persuade a happily married woman to cop a feel simply by playfully juggling her, erm, jugs in a suitably provocative manner.
 
Regardless of whether you're flashing your boobs or hiding your moobs, Glamour & Sparkle have something for everyone this Friday at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
 
For the girls we have some exciting new items, including our special Valentine's range which is guaranteed to add a little sparkle to your outfit and help ensure that Cupid fires his arrows in your direction.
 
For the guys, well, let's just say we've got the kind of goodies that will make the special lady in your life go all giggly and girly, a feeling that will make them particularly keen to show their gratitude.
 
Drop by and see us on Friday.

Earring Extravaganza

There's something classically understated about Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece Girl With A Pearl Earring.
 
Vermeer's subtle strokes and the manner in which he draws attention to the single earring testify to his genius and succeed in making most observers overlook the fact that he couldn't find himself a model with decent hair - seriously, who wears a headscarf when they're having their portrait painted?
 
At Glamour & Sparkle we have no time for such nuances as understatement and subtlety (although ironically enough if you stop by and see us at one of our shows  you'll find a fantastic range of scarves).
 
If you want to blend effortlessly into the lifeless, soulless background of the urban jungle and display all the pizazz of a particularly dull wallflower, then you're in the wrong place.
 
However, if like us you believe that an earring should capture the imagination, radiate in its own spotlight and take away the breath of the crowd, then you will be delighted to know that Glamour & Sparkle are launching their new 2013 range of earrings on January 18.
 
We've got teardrops to make you cry; hearts of glass to make you skip a beat; diamante encrusted hoops that would light up a basketball court and chandelier style designs that would grace any queen's palace.
 
And as a concession to all you ladies out there who think there's a lot to be said for subtlety and understatement, we've even stocked up with of the daintiest and demurest pearls you could possibly imagine.
 
Something for everyone, as they say.

New Year, New You

Hello and welcome to 2013!
 
We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year and are all ready to hit the ground sashaying in your cutest killer heels and most divine dress this January.
 
Whether you've overindulged yourself at Christmas (our own Miss Lixx has threatened to redefine the term curvaceous; she's also threatened to sue the horrible person who evidently sewed the incorrect size label into her new frock), or stuck religiously to your diet and eschewed the fun things in life champagne and chocolate (in which case there's a good chance you shouldn't be here anyway), we have something for you this January.
 
We have a fantastic new collection of rings, bracelets and earrings and have also taken fresh delivery of some of our most popular designs so you're sure to find something that catches your eye.
 
So if you're looking to reinvent yourself with a new image (sadly Miss Lixx's bid to reinvent herself as a size 12 is on hold for the foreseeable future) or to add a touch of elegance and Je ne sais quoi to the status quo, then Glamour & Sparkle has something for you.
 
It's a new year so it's time for a new you - a more sparkly, more glamorous version of the existing you.
 
After all, Apple and Microsoft don't have the monopoly on upgrading and relaunching things, so get out their girls and let the world know you're coming.
 
This promises to be the biggest year in Glamour & Sparkle's history and we can't wait to share our exciting new range with you.
 
As ever we will be at Leeds this Friday in the Cosmopolitan Hotel so please feel free to drop by and see us if you're attending this month's Leeds First Friday event.
