For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no — that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat．One answer is, fashion stylist．
As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart．Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns （实习生）, and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position．
"It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai．"There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive．"
The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous clothes．And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money．Now it's a career with a profile, prospects and pay packet．
Girls can find it hard to ignore this tempt and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style or fashion design majors．"A fashion designer knows how to make a dress pretty, but a stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe," explained He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology．
"You have to be 'all-round': from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories（配饰） to the event," said He．"You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time．It's challenging．That's why I love it．"
It's not, however, without its downside, no matter how great you may think it is, "It's incredibly hard work," said Chen Qianzhu, a stylist at the Chinese version of Elle magazine．"You need to build good relations with various people — stars, photographers, PR managers, other media, even airlines．"
You need to take care of clothes in the workplace and pay for even a tiny spot you get on them, Chen said．"The worst thing is that you might work extremely hard for a week on some serious photos, but if the chief's not satisfied, you do them all over again．"

A．make every effort to dress up models

How hard we have all prayed(祈祷) to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.
At last, you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you “young lady”. You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you-this young lady-heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.
But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say; “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already.”
“No”, they say, “your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend, it won’t do you any good.” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.
Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.
“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest.” To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, “Such a big girl can’t do such easy work.” You wish then you were a child again.
But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can’t help it. That’s the way it goes!
