Glamour puss - A glamorous lady
Probably derived from the ancient word "buss" which means "face," esp. the lips. Over time, the word began to be pronounced as "puss," associating it with the cat. A reference to the sleek pose of a cat
Cats that are well-fed and cared for are seldom skinny; hence, a person living the good life is a fat cat.
