"IT" is that quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force. With "IT" you win all men if you are a woman—all women if you are a man. "IT" can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.
Self-confidence and indifference whether you are pleasing or not—and something in you that gives the impression that you are not at all cold. That's "IT".

It Girl in Art: The DEVIL WOMAN!!!




We're all a devil woman in our own way right? Whenever I go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art theres so many devil women paintings and statues..It's pretty cool how women are interpreted as being Satan himself in art and literature.I don't think thats a bad thing necessarily.I'd rather be the devil woman from hell than be the blah old boring angel from heaven.Nobody wants to hear about the angel. The more exciting part of the Adam & Eve story is the snake and the temptation and then the angel just ruins the whole story! and Adam, who cares about Adam! He doesn't do anything in that story but sleep behind a bush. Eve's the star! Thats who everyone remembers..So, we shouldn't think of the devil woman as being a sexist symbol which is what a lot of people associate Adam & Eve with.. Being a Devil Woman just means that your a girl who lives outside the box a little bit, and lives a little dangeresouly.(like taking the apple).. She doesn't care what any one thinks. Eve wasn't going to wait around for Adam forever! she said,"The hell with you Adam I'd rather be with the charming snake". The snake was at least fun, and attractive..Adam just slept in the garden all day long and didn't want to do anything..Thats why Eve took the apple. If it weren't for Eve we'd all be miserable right now.. We'd all settle for a guy who sleeps in the garden rather than the charming snake who is one wild ride!

THE EPIC NOVEL IT GIRL DUO: Margaret Mitchell & Scarlett O Hara

Scarlett O Hara: Why she’s is an It Girl

She's a sexy young woman that all the guys want and the women hate... Scarlett doesn't care which guy wants her even if he is Rhett Butler... if a guy doesn't give her what she wants she lets them know about it and gives them the boot... Scarlett OHara is not afraid to murder a man... LOL, my most favorite part of the story is when she takes the gun and shoots that DAMN YANKEE in the head that tries to take advantage of her .... an example all of us young women need to turn to.... not to kill a man but to take care of yourself... Scarlett OHara is a poster girl for all young women having a rocky start....

and for those of you who don't know who she is.....

Scarlett is strong and saves her family but is incredibly selfish and petty at the same time. She challenges nineteenth-century society's gender roles repeatedly, running a store and two lumber mills at one point. Scarlett is in some ways the least stereotypically feminine of women (in other ways the most), and the more traditional Melanie Wilkes is in many ways her foil. But Scarlett survives the war, three marriages, the birth of children, and even a miscarriage.

Scarlett presents a fresher, deeper female characterization; she lives a complicated life during a difficult period of history. Some of Scarlett's quotes from Gone with the Wind like "Fiddle-Dee Dee!" "Tomorrow is another day," "Great balls of fire!" and "I'll never go hungry again!” have become modern catchphrases.

Margaret Mitchell: Author of Gone with the Wind

Why She’s an It Girl: She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 for the Novel Gone with the Wind published in 1936. The novel is one of the most popular books of all time, selling more than 30 million copies. The Gone with the Wind movie, released in 1939, became the highest-grossing film in the history of Hollywood, and received a record-breaking number of Academy Awards...Not bad for a female writer eh?
