"It Girl"

The “it girl” To have “it”, the fortunate possessor must have the strange magnetism which attracts both sexes. He or she must be entirely unself- conscious and full of self confidence, indifferent to the effect he or she is producing and uninfluenced by others. There must be physical attraction, but beauty is unnecessary . Conceit or self-consciousness destroys “it” immediately. In the animal world “it” demonstrates in tigers and cats — both animals being fascinating and mysterious and quite unbiddable.
