And you would have spent the night with me that first night. I can tell you feel something for me, or I wouldn't still be holding your hand." He implored. I then took a breath and a chance by giving him direct eye contact because he was right, I would have never turned him down outside of this situation. He was too freaking hot and the chemistry too strong to ignore. "You're not wrong I am attracted to you, but I am your professor. I can lose my job and... and I need you to leave. I will forget we had this conversation and chalk it up to a mutual crush." I rose to get him to do the same, so I could get him far, far away from me. But when he stood, we were now within inches from each other and the energy between us was so overwhelming I almost swooned. He looked down at me and then at my lips and before I could say stop, he let go of my hand, wrapped himself around me and captured my lips with his rather full ones.

Download or read book Fashion and Celebrity Culture written by Pamela Church Gibson and published by Berg. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interrelationship between fashion and celebrity is now a salient and pervasive feature of the media world. This accessible text presents the first in-depth study of the phenomenon, assessing the degree to which celebrity culture has reshaped the fashion system. Fashion and Celebrity Culture critically examines the history of this relationship from its growth in the 19th century to its mutation during the twentieth century to the dramatic changes that have befallen it in the last two decades. It addresses the fashion-celebrity nexus as it plays itself out across mainstream cinema, television and music and in the celebrity status of a range of designers, models and artists. It explores the strategies that have enabled visual culture to recast itself in the new climate of celebrity obsession, popular culture and the art world to respond adaptively to its insistent pressures. With its engaging analysis and case studies from Lillian Gish to Louis Vuitton to Lady Gaga, Fashion and Celebrity Culture is of major interest to students of fashion, media studies, film, television studies and popular culture, and anyone with an interest in this global phenomenon.

Download or read book Trading Up written by Candace Bushnell and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter day comedy of manners. Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship--and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams.
