Her Attempts at Defiance

Typical of any network contract, Pretty Talent (PT) had to adhere to unspoken rules of the business. First, PT had to behave according to the ideal image fans want their idols to have. In other words, PT had to project that she was the perfect and obedient celebrity. A positive image assures that fans remain loyal and protective, as well as a string of endorsements. Second, PT had to be protective of her love interest. As she has a young career, falling in love is out of the question because fans seem to lose interest when their idols are in a relationship with anyone, but the screen partner.

Like any female growing up, PT has her share of crushes and admirers. However, PT was given restrictions as to whom she should develop closeness with. PT was forbidden to become close with a Fellow Celebrity (FC). Because management teams have different plans for PT and FC, they were not encouraged to see each other privately, and more so, publicly. The decision was to protect both careers.

The decision of their camps should not be a surprise, as managers have been imposing this rule for a long time. Fans are jealous and could become meddlesome if they find out that their idols have other relationships. Somehow, the illusion that an idol is still reachable and available is shattered if he/she has a confirmed relationship. Nonetheless, PT had no choice but to follow the decision.

While all seems well, PT invited Another Personality (AP) for an out of town trip. AP has a crush on PT for such a long time, and thus, he was happy to accompany PT during the trip. With just the two of them alone, the moment was full of potential. Predictably, PT gave in to AP and they had hours of unending passion and bliss until PT was worn out, literally. The open secret is that AP is well gifted.

A moment of panic occurred when PT started to bleed. AP could not rush her to the hospital or any clinic because they will definitely be identified and rumors will surface. Thus, PT called An Actress (AA) for help. AA, having been in the business for a long time has surpassed various issues that have come her way. Instead of reprimanding PT and AP, she offered her place and called on a doctor to look after PT. The question that was never asked was if the tryst was PT’s way of rebelling, as any young adult can feel that restrictions are too suffocating.

The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another. - Quentin Crisp
