Hide AdTo her amusement, however, here in the UK, this questionable pastime has a title: ‘glamour modelling’.
Don’t get her wrong: being an ex-Hooters employee, Katherine’s not averse to females making the most of their assets. What does get her goat, however, is not so much what glamour girls do as what they don’t do: speak.
Glam Role Model takes a look at the murky world of the beauty industry, and examines the role of models who provide its bread and butter.
Ryan is a familiar face on British TV, with appearances on BBC 1’s Live At The Apollo and Let’s Dance for Comic Relief, BBC 2’s Mock The Week, QI and Nevermind The Buzzcocks, and as a regular panellist on C4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats.
