The "It" Girl

So we know that Clara Bow was the "It" girl, an actress of the silent movie era who also happened to be a redhead. However, she was mostly played the role of scandalous bad girl, not really someone who would be acceptable in good society, which was not far from who she really was, a girl of troubled background plucked from the ghettos of New York. She was hugely popular in the 1920s but fell out of favor after the advent of talkies. Ok, so someone is making pointed jokes about redheads, a wicked witch colleague of Aunt Linda's perhaps, but a stereotyped movie star does not reflect the reality of who I am. This Clara Bow joke only reflects the vapid emptiness of Aunt Linda's pathetically empty head, in which almost no fact dwells regarding my existence. Anyway, these Dutch people obviously do not have any special advantage in this world except within the vapid intrigues of continental Europe and also perhaps in the Do-Re-Mi dwellings of bankrupt California. Then I guess I am not missing anything important be leaving California in the rear-view mirror. The word "family" lacks definition there.
