That Friday Feeling

The Glamour & Sparkle tour bus is set to roll into Leeds for the final LFF event of 2011 this Friday.

We will be setting up stall in our customary home in the Cosmopolitan Hotel for what promises to be a great night out.

New frocks have been bought for the occasion (scouting parties are still scouring the entire north of England for the right pair of shoes), nails have been manicured, hair has been styled and bling has been buffed to ensure we all scrub up beautifully for the festivities.

We will have our traditional wide range of handbags and jewellery on display, not to mention a few things that are designed to keep you warm on those long cold nights. Our lace gloves and fishnet stockings might not be equipped with thermal linings but they are guaranteed to get the temperature rising.

We also have a new selection of goodies, including some fantastic earrings which we hope you will find perfect for the party season, rings that are both perfect for slipping on for the night out or sliding into stockings as gifts and some stunning new necklaces designed to light up even the darkest night.

Please drop by and see us and feel free to try on anything that catches your eye.

So forget about Santa making his list and checking it twice (forgetful old sod) and never mind if you've been naughty or nice (after all, there's a lot to be said for combining the two) and come along and see us for the chance to spoil yourself this Christmas.

We look forward to seeing you all on Friday.

Lucky Charms

At this time of year when pantomime dames are ten a penny, sisters are ugly, there are three bears for every Goldilocks, evil queens are after Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood's trying to keep the wolf from the door (it's hell with this recession) and Cinderella's lost her glass slipper and is looking for a nightgown, it's good to know you can still find a little charm and style in the world.

It's even better when you can find it for less than the price of a pantomime ticket, a price guaranteed to bring a smile to even the most sour-faced queen and make her have second thoughts about using the poisoned apple trick on Snow White.

And make no mistake girls (unlike Snow White - because if she really was such a hottie why was she shacked up in a little cottage servicing the needs of seven vertically-challenged blokes with names like Dopey and Grumpy?) this is a handbag that will make you believe in the magic of the festive season.

Available in three colours - red, plum and a silver sequin design that Christmas parties were invented for - this stylish bag has eight assorted charms decorating the handle and combines fun, style and sophistication with a perfect dash of the party spirit.

It might not make you feel goodwill to all men but it will improve your prospects of finding Prince (or even Princess) Charming this Christmas because who could resist a girl with such a cute handbag?

Hey, Stud

Sometimes it pays to be a little understated.

Even if you graduated with honours from the School of Hot Frocks with a diploma that says bling is best, there are times when it's best to tone down the look and opt for something that offers a little understated refinement.

These stud earrings are perfect for nights out when your outfit already speaks for itself (in this case think Lady Godiva rather than Lady Gaga) and you need something subtle to complement your look.

These silver studs are available with crystal detail in three colour schemes - blue/turquoise, clear, rose/fuchsia.

And after all, what more could a girl ask for than to step out of an evening with a pair of delicious studs?

A Perfect Pair

Some nights it's difficult to decide just which earrings go best with one's outfit.

On the one hand there's classic silver to complement any look and add a touch of understated elegance and sophistication.

On the other hand there's the irresistible lure of diamantes to put a little bling in your step.

Fortunately help is at hand as Glamour & Sparkle can offer these delightful drop earrings that combine chic silver with sparkly diamante to allow you to dress up or dress down as the occasion demands.

These silver drop earrings are resplendent with a diamante detail that will enhance any outfit and give you the confidence to know that you're the envy of your friends.

The Stocking Filler Frilly Thriller

"There's lots of good will and maybe one small thrill but there's nothing dirty going on," as Dolly Parton trilled in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Far be it from me to question darling Dolly's judgement (Ain't she a sweetie?), but the thrill you'll get from owning this handbag will be more than just a small one.

This is a stylish handbag that proves that frills are not the exclusive property of lingerie designers and is hotter than a super model's petticoat.

Packed with a range of features including a magnetic flap and internal zipped pockets, this glamorous bag is a study in scarlet.

Blessed with more frills than a House of Olivier petticoat and certain to provide more thrills than New Orleans during Mardi Gras, this is a stunning handbag that will ensure you're the certain of attention.

We provide the frills, you enjoy the thrills.

Glamour, Glitz And A Pool Queen's Tits

What can you say about a night that ends with a girl bent over a table with a stick in her hand?

Far from being a typical night out - well maybe for some girls - the Enigma Ball was a stunning evening of glamour and fashion that ended with your correspondent playing pool in her evening gown at 3:00am.

What can you say about a night that featured champagne, red carpets, posh frocks, killer heels and enough diamantes to light up the dark side of the moon?

It's fair to say when the biggest disappointment is winning the raffle (men's skin cream - I ask you!) you've had a fantastic night out.

Personal highlights included meeting a girl I went to school with (this marked a real triumph for the public school education system considering the only conventional females found at Lexie Lixx's alma mater were either serving food in the dining hall or handing out books in the library), Glamour & Sparkle's managing director ending up going commando under his tux and my own heroic battle with pool cue, heels and boobs (to use technical parlance there were one or two issues with cushions) that brought the curtain down on a super evening.

Many thanks to the brilliant Kathy for organising such a wonderful event - this really is the Oscar Night of the tgirl calendar - and if you've yet to sample the delights of the Enigma Ball make sure you go to the next one.

Enigma Time

Dust down those glass slippers, polish that tiara and pull on your finest frock.

The festive season is upon us once more and that means it's time for the Third Enigma Ball. http://www.enigmaball.co.uk/

This is one of the premier events of the social calendar and it promises to be a spectacular night featuring champagne, satin gowns, killer heels, red carpets and enough bling to keep a diamond mine in business for a year.

Glamour & Sparkle are delighted to announce that we will be providing a number of raffle prizes at the ball on Saturday night, giving you the chance to add a little extra sparkle to your wardrobe in time for Christmas.

We hope to see as many of you as possible sashaying around the dance floor on what should be a fantastic night out, so make sure you're right on time and you dress so fine and meet us at the Enigma Ball.
