Talk:It girl

message: I originally noted that this was a backhanded compliment. Somebody changed this to "compliment", which it is not, so I removed the expression entirely. 
See : 
"Perhaps journalists love the phrase because it is such a backhanded compliment. Marianne Faithfull qualifies for the title of original It Girl because her fame is founded on the flimsiest of pretexts." Dictionary.com gives "a young woman who has achieved celebrity status due to her social activities and lifestyle" [that is to say, and little else]. I would suggest that talented actresses don't qualify, but perhaps the meaning has changed recently? Shantavira 12:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I rem'd a See also lk from 15 minutes of fame to here.  A lk from here to that would make more sense, but i doubt that even that makes enuf to justify it. Maybe there's a wider topic on mile-wide & inch-deep cultural trends, that they connect thru better than they do directly. --Jerzy•t 19:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I just found two paragraphs in an online journal called "Eurozine" about the "it-girls". The term doesn't seem to be quite as positive as it is in Wikipedia's article. Quote:
A new breed of useless female celebrity was dubbed the "it-girl" by the British media. Although the term was originally coined in the 1920s after Clara Bow starred in a silent Hollywood film called "It", the it-girl was very much a 1990s phenomenon. </br></br> She was famous just for being famous, the sole criterion being that she should be sexually attractive. "It" has always served as a sexual euphemism but now the word was explicitly depicting the sexual objectification of women. "It" also alluded to the vacuous nature of celebrity as a whole by tacitly acknowledging that media profiles were interchangeable spaces, able to be filled by anyone with the requisite sexual presence.

replies: text: I shouldn't believe everything you read on on-line! The article as presently drafted does recognise the "re-formulation" in the 1990s, but, as a concept, "It girl" has undoubtedly been around for 80 or so years. It has probably become less "positive" in recent years, but is also used rather indiscriminately and I don't myself accept the suggestion that it has been applied particularly to mainstream cinema.

replies: text: I'd say it's another term that has become somewhat empty through over-use and mis-use by the media. The concept "being famous for being famous" (Paris Hilton's original claim to fame, as far as I have heard) is inherently negative, though the term seems to be more hype than anything else. The original definition seems to have been watered down so much "it girl" has become just another label anyone famous can slap on her portfolio. Just my two pieces of eight. — Ashmodai (talk · contribs) 05:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

#The reference doesn't seem to support the content; however, it is from an Israeli site in Hebrew (blog?) — and I used Google translation, which might not be accurate

::As Israel has gone through a fashionable and cinematic revolution in recent years, they've also adopted an "It Girl" of their own. After the equivalent role to Chloë Sevigny in the movie Kids, Sivan Levy, the actress, musician and filmmaker, overshadowed her with her role in the high accolade Israeli film Six Acts.
