Quando o carlos chamou ao Cavaco It, lembrei-me logo da Clara Bow, a actriz que tinha algo de indefinivel e sedutor: o factor it. Suponho que ainda vouver o Cavaco charmoso:) Já me chamaram velha, por fazer estas associações:)

"It" Girl. Most people are familiar with those names, even if they don't know who Clara Bow was or how she came by the nickname. Simply put, Bow was the hottest actress of the late 1920s (until silent films were supplanted by "talkies"), the girl with the "heart-shaped face, an hour-glass figure, and thick auburn hair dyed a flaming orange-red." The film that made her a household name was 1927's It, based on a turgid novelette by the dowager Elinor Glyn (renowned for her 1907 novel Three Weeks, which featured a scandalous tryst on a tiger-skin rug). Although even Glyn couldn't provide a consistent definition of just what "it" was, everyone knew what "it" meant. (Or, as Dorothy Parker quipped about It's heroine: "It, hell: she had Those.")
