What is a glamour bomb not?

It is not your basic prank, hoax, or practical joke. Those things can be fun too but they usually only function to humiliate, shame, scare, amuse or embarrass people, and don't transform their outlook or introduce wonder and magic into their perspective of the world.

Glamourbombing is not transgressive nor is it political. It speaks to the spirit, not the ego or the mask. Shattering illusions (as we perceive them) through agressive cultural rebellion or obnoxious behavior is more an act of anti-glamour. This is not about testing our personal power or making social critiques. Glamour bombing effects change on a personal or spiritual level. This may in turn lead to social change but the outcome is not directed by the individual "bomber" and is left open to interpretation.

It's not about convincing people that the glamourbomber is magical. It's about causing others to think *they* have just experienced something magical or mysterious. The underlying point is to reconnect ourselves and others to the parallel realm of existence (also known as faerie) that is fluid and transformative. It's all about the magic.
