clerk？s　arms。　？I　changed　my　mind。　I？m　looking　for　simple　suits　in　navy　blue　and　black。　And　plain

white　shirts　with　collars。？　She　wanted　to　look　sexy　in　a　chic

Parisian…woman…wearing…a…simple…black…dress…while…riding…a…bicycle…and…carrying…a…baguette…un

der…her…arm　sort　of　way。　Nate　had　always　had　a　thing　about　French　girls。　He　would　go　out　of　his

way　to　walk　by　L？？cole　Fran？aise　just　to　gape　at　the　girls　in　their　short　gray　skirts；　high　heels；　and

tight　black　V…neck　sweaters。　Those　tramps。

Soon　Blair　had　found　the　first　item　in　her　new　wardrobe　and　the　perfect　thing　to　wear　for　her

interview　Thursday　night：　a　navy　blue　knit　shirtdress　by　Les　Best　with　a　beaded　belt　and　a　cute

little　white　lace　collar　at　the　neck。　It　was　prim　yet　intriguing？just　what　Blair　was　looking　for。　She

paid　for　the　dress　and　then　headed　downstairs　to　cosmetics　to　outfit　herself　with　navy　blue

mascara　and　a　subtle　shade　of　lip　gloss　that　wasn？t　as　girly　or　e…hither　as　her　usual　shade　of

light　pink　or　dark　red。

？Look　who？s　here；？　Jenny　whispered　to　Elise　in　front　of　the　Stila　counter。　？Hi；　Blair。？

？Great　haircut！？　added　Elise　perkily。

Blair　turned　around　to　find　two　of　the　freshmen　from　her　peer　group：

she…really…should…have…a…breast…reduction　Ginny；　and　in…desperate…need…of…a…makeover　Eliza；　or

whatever　their　names　were；　staring　at　her　admiringly。　She　was　horrified　to　see　that　they　were

trying　on　some　of　the　same　eye　shadows　and　lip　glosses　that　she　wore　all　the　time。　Couldn？t　they

just　stick　with　Maybelline　from　Rite　Aid　or　something？

Elise　frowned　down　at　the　vial　of　glittery　black　eye　dust　in　her　hand。　？Is　this　stuff　any　good？？

Yes；　it？s　good。　But　you？re　really　not　ready　for　it　yet。

Blair　couldn？t　help　but　give　them　a　little　big…sisterly　advice。　She　slung　her

brown…and…white…striped　Bendel？s　shopping　bag　over　her　wrist　and　got　to　work。　？With　your

coloring；　I？d　go　for　something　lighter。？　She　reached　for　a　sample　tube　of　pale　silvery　green　gel

shadow。　？This　would　really　bring　out　the　aqua　tones　in　your　eyes；？　she　instructed；　marveling　at

hownice　she　sounded。

Elise　took　the　tube　and　dabbed　a　little　on　her　eyelids。　It　was　barely　visible；　but　it　caught　the　light

and　miraculously　made　her　small；　close…together　blue　eyes　look　brighter　and　prettier。　？Wow；？　she

trilled；　mesmerized。

Jenny　reached　for　the　tube。　？Can　I　try？？

Blair　snatched　it　away。　？Absolutely　not。　You　need　something　in　beige　or　peach。？　Blair　couldn？t

believe　herself。　The　weird　thing　was；　she　was　enjoying　it。　？Here。？　She　handed　Jenny　a　fat；

rust…colored　eye　pencil。　？It　goes　on　softer　than　it　looks。？

Jenny　drew　a　careful　line　along　the　edge　of　one　eyelid　and　blinked　at　the　result。　She　looked
