Etymology: Glamazon

Glamazon: (noun) "a tall beautiful woman, often a runway model", according to Urban Dictionary.

The term "Glamazon" is derived from the combination of "Glamorous" and "Amazon", thereby carrying the implication of style chic-ery as well as the legendary height of the mythical Amazon woman. However, whereas some historians will claim that the amazon warriors would remove a breast in order to better handle a bow, the modern glamazon generally retains a pair.

Glamazon may be said to a woman's face in a congratulatory tone, as is often the case of the TV series "Next Top Model" (I cannot say for certain, but my assumption is that the popularity of this program instigated the term's place in pop vernacular). Or, people may use the term to refer to a woman in a derogatory manner, but generally not to her face.
