I've never heard anyone describe a guy as "glamorous". Are guys ever "glamorous"?

[Gala]

Translating perfect! Do you want all the article?

It's a shame he's so homely, non?

[kellina]

Kate, you make a nice point here, I do not believe I have heard the word "glamorous" used to describe a man before. However, Merriam-Webster defines glamorous as "excitingly attractive" and one could certainly argue that this description applies to Vladimir...

[kellina]

Oh, Gala, you are so kind! I am happy to hear the translation is perfect and I would love to have the entire article! Grazie, grazie, grazie!

Thank you for your comment, theonlyfashionprincess! I will check out your blog as soon as I can. Let me know if you would like to exchange links with me. xoxo

[kellina]

hee hee cupcake! I have to assume you are joking or perhaps it is possible that you do not think Vladimir "excitingly attractive"...

; )

[cupcake]

Yes I was definitely joking!

[kellina]

Phew, cupcake! I better pay attention, your sense of humor may be even drier than mine.
