Glamour Girls

Glamour Girls is a 2022 Nigerian movie directed by Bunmi Adesoye and produced by Abimbola Craig. Released on Netflix, it stars Nse Ikpe-Etim, Sharon Ooja, Joselyn Dumas, Toke Makinwa and Segilola Ogidan as women embarking on glamorous and luxurious lifestyles through escorting. Glamour Girls was initially touted as a remake, but subsequently metamorphosed into a reconstruction of the original story with an entirely different storyline and different characters, and some actors from the 1994 movie also appearing. Plot After Emma (Sharon Ooja) is fired from her stripper job, she desperately approaches Donna—an interior designer moonlighting as a procurer—who rejects the aspiring high-end call girl on the grounds of unsuitability, but reconsiders after Emma assures Donna of her potential. A makeover follows, and the uncouth Emma is introduced to the world of high-class escorting but snubbed by Donna's snooty clientele, until Zeribe — a bodyguard who confesses to framing her for theft at the strip club — presents Emma to his new boss Segun (Femi Branch) who gradually takes a shine to Donna's new recruit. Louise (Toke Makinwa) — a boutique owner also in Donna's employment — is shocked upon discovering her America-based husband Aaron (Uzor Arukwe) has flown into Nigeria to surprise her and their two daughters. She manages to conceal her secret profession, but Aaron is increasingly suspicious when she frequently leaves their residence late at night under false pretences to meet up with her Lebanese lover, Fadi (Cezar Obayan). Donna advises her to send Aaron back to America before he discovers the truth, but he extends his stay. Jemma visits her former friend Donna who has not forgiven her for breaking the escort agency's golden rule: Never give your love for free. Jemma's terminally ill husband, Desmond, faces life-support withdrawal unless his wife settles his medical bills. She initially turns down Donna's request to return to escorting in exchange for money but eventually gives in after running out of options. At a high-profile party she attends with Donna and her girls, Jemma catches the eye of Alexander (Lynxxx), a business associate of billionaire Chief Nkem (Ejike Asiegbu) with whom Donna enjoys the occasional dalliance. Jemma and Alexander spend the night together and instantly begin a relationship. Soon after, Desmond's life support machine is switched off.
