Lulu seems to be self-assured and confident. This comes out it line 3 "Nancy Sinatra eat your heart out" and in line 8 "...all I could do after admiring myself". If she wasn't confident, she would not be admiring her own reflection in the mirror. She is also fashion-conscious, this is shown in the beginning of the story (line 5), when she buys an expensive pair of boots "they weren't just boots - they were actual Manolos". Only people interested infashion would care if the boots were a brand a not. It also shows in line 11 that she is funny and has a sense of humour. "Grrrr... Copping a vamp pose..."On line 21, she reveals that there are two sides to her. The sensible side and the more pleasure-seeking or maybe irresponsible. "while the sensible side of my brain tried to reason with the champagne-fuddled one"At first she might seems to focus on the exterior, this comes out in line 83-84 "A good looking boyfriend..- Had a Porsche" , however she later reveals a more sensible side in line 133, where she looks beyond "the dashing, handsome exterior" and comes to the realisation that he is a "bigoted bore inside" (l. 134)2: Comment on the role of the two male characters.In many ways, Spencer and Charlie represent the two sides there are to Lulu's personality. Spencer being the reasonable side by making her see Charlie for what he really is by planting a tiny seedof doubt in her by telling her his honest opinion about the relationship she has with Charlie. At the same time enjoys the funny and fashion-conscious person she can be.I see Charlie as the "champagne-fuddled one" - Only the champagne being replaced by love or perhaps just some kind of fascination with his good looks, money, social status and lifestyle. When she as a joke bringsthe boots she wore when she met him to their favourite country house hotel and he does not get the joke it makes her realise that he is nothing like her.
