Tempted - an it girl novel
Written by: Cecily Von Ziegesar
In this chapter its the Halloween ball. Jenny decides to dress up as Cleopatra. Knowing that each year tinsley has won best costume, she doesn't think she's going to win. Brett warned her that all this was is a popularity contest and so Jenny knew she wouldn't win. As soon as Jenny walked down the stairs to the ball, all eyes were on her. She was the most beautiful girl ever. Her hair curled into a messy updo, a gold and sapphire hairpeice, and her lips covered in deep read lipstick. Her skin was lightly brushed with gold shimmer which made her skin glow against the one white silk strap of her gown. She felt like a sun-kissed Egyptian. Before she knew it she was crowned with the best costume. Tinsley on the other hand was very upset. After winning all the years, including freshman year, she was pretty pissed. A mysterious masked boy came up to jenny and had a conversation with him. She had no idea if he was a junior, senior, freshman, or what. The one this she did know was that he was attractive, because only the cute boys were this bold. They had a nice long conversation and when it was time for jenny to go, the mysterios boy told her that he would tell her tomorrow who he was.

Hey Kjersten,
While I haven't read this book, the story sounds fairly familiar. Can you think of any other movies/books/stories that have a similar story line? Also, what's your prediction about the mysterious boy's identity? Do you know who it is? Also, what do you think the author is trying to say about beauty and appearance? Your posting is a great summary of the action, I'm curious to hear more of your personal reaction. Also, I saw that you're an Elvis Costello fan...me too! I've seen him in concert a bunch of times and I think my favorite record of his would have to be "This Year's Model." Do you have it? The title track has some interesting parallels to the story you've written about.
