Andrea, an aspiring journalist with dreams of working at The New Yorker, interviews at magazine Runway in hopes of building a creditable resume. Andrea interviewed with Emily and Alison and was hired.
Even though fashion is not Andrea's total "thing," -creative writing is more of her interest-Andrea wants this bad enough to accept the job. In fact, she states, "I didn't know anything about fashion and I didn't care. At all. And therefore, I had to have it."(pg. 14) It is funny how something we never once desired for, suddenly becomes a small obsession of a must have when it is unavailable. This is part of the human tendency to want what you cannot have. Maybe this reasoning explains why girls are attracted to the bad boy types or why some citizens love to do a little meddling with the law. The danger and thrill is what intrigues a person to convince them towards the unattainable. Even with Andrea’s watchful distinctions between her dress style and the Runway's working employees does not stop her from a challenge.

I never read the book , but I have seen the film. The film seemed a little evil because here's this young girl just trying to get move on to a career which is more serious. Although later she finds out that the wok she is doing is a very sserious one, to other people who fantasies about being in the fashion business.
In your own thoughts it seemed that you were summarizing I do it also. Though it showed at the end when you were talking about boys and girls you were really thinking about what you were reading.
