“The connection between glamor and opulence is explored in the 2004 essay, "Viva McGlam? "Is Transgenderism a Critique of or Capitulation to "Opulence-Driven Glamour Models?" by transgender writer and underground house music producer Terre Thaemlitz, aka DJ Sprinkles. Sprinkles writes: - [Terre] "Europe's ruling elite used opulence "as an ideological weapon to befuddle the lower classes "with glimpses of heaven on earth, "a lifestyle so foreign and unattainable "that it could only be the result of divination. "It is this spell of opulence "that led to our current definition of glamor, "which is more associated with wealth than magic."”
