Remember Glamor Shots? You know, the stores that dress you up in ridiculous clothes and tons of make up and take pictures of the “real you”? My secret fantasy when I was 13 was for a glamor shot photo session, but for some reason it was nixed by my mother. Or maybe I was too scared to even ask my mother.

Anyway, glamor shots came up in conversation last summer (we were in Vegas) and my British friend, Ed, got confused and thought we were talking about really fancy alcoholic shots. Ed is fucking brilliant. Ever since, I’ve wanted to create the perfect Glamor Shot.

I brainstormed things that are glamorous and came up with:

• red
• champagne
• diamonds/glitter
• strawberries
• money
• chocolate
• gold
• David Bowie

Here are two recipes. Not exactly what I had in mind, but definitely a start:

******************************

Glamor Shot #1

Line the rim of a shot glass with red frosting and dip the shot glass in red sprinkles. Fill half the shot glass with blueberry vodka and top it off with strawberry champagne.

Glamor Shot #2

Same idea… Line the rim of a shot glass with red frosting and dip the shot glass in red sprinkles. Fill half the shot glass with chocolate liquor and top it off with strawberry champagne.
