After a few weeks of utter neglect of my blog for a good time now, i thought it would be quite nice to do a quick post about my new love. For my dissertation i have decided to look at the construction of Celebrity as i am completely obsessed by it. In particular, the It Girl, that beautiful creation of famous for being simply fabulous. Through my research i have been drawn to the stunning creature that is Clara Bow, the original and definitive It Girl. After starring in the film It she was labelled by journalist as the It Girl and the label has stuck with us through the ages and is still used to label certain celebs these days.
She doesn't fit into the celebrity stereotype we are now so aware of. She is not stick thin, or blonde and, as she was a silent star, we do not know her as much as we know celebrities of today like, the other subject of my dissertation, Paris Hilton. However, she does have something that immediately draws your eye to her. That classic pout and defining curled hair. She seems to be the epitome of Twenties flapper glamour and i cannot wait to learn more about her.
