I’ve researched Clara Bow – it’s no wonder the actress inspired Taylor Swift’s new album

Moments later, Swift uploaded full details of her new record to Instagram, including the album artwork and track list.

Key Points:

Moments later, Swift uploaded full details of her new record to Instagram, including the album artwork and track list.
One of the 17 newly revealed tracks is titled Clara Bow.
Actress Clara Bow (1905-1965) was the original “It girl”.

This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our twenties and thirties.
The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
Twitter users called her “disgusting” for bringing her friend and collaborator Lana Del Rey on stage, after she’d lost out on her own award.

Who was Clara Bow?

Clara Bow was an American silent and early sound film actress, whose tumultuous career spanned from 1922 to 1933.
Bow’s best-known film, the 1926 silent romantic comedy It, secured her status as a cultural icon who embodied the youth and liberation of the 1920s’ flapper.
This sequence of events, which kick-started the ongoing mythicisation of Bow’s star image, skips over the work Bow herself put in.

How Clara Bow inspired Taylor Swift

During the height of her career, Bow’s love life was a point of constant ridicule in popular film fan magazines. Headlines branding her “empty hearted” and asking “why can’t the It Girl keep her men?” sought to psychoanalyse her broken engagements. The press labelled Bow an “idiot”, and wondered why “no man [had] led her to the altar”.

Bow’s assistant and best friend, Daisy DeVoe, was accused of trying to embezzle money from her.
During my research trip, I was able to access the papers of Clara Bow, as well as those who knew her: including notable gossip columnist Hedda Hopper.
Perhaps Swift’s ode to Bow will offer some artistic justice for the often-misrepresented starlet.
But it’s not hard to see why Taylor Swift, a modern starlet whose every move is scrutinised and criticised, would find a rich seam of inspiration in the life of Clara Bow.

This is how tobacco damages our cells

Retrieved on:

With the countless studies available today on the effects of tobacco use, we should have no trouble convincing ourselves and others of how harmful it is.

Key Points:

With the countless studies available today on the effects of tobacco use, we should have no trouble convincing ourselves and others of how harmful it is.
The cells that make up our tissues, organs and body systems are sensitive to the effects of external toxic agents, many of which can be found in tobacco.
Many smokers not only accept this, but also ignore the serious danger it poses to the people around them.

Initial effects in the mouth and pharynx

When tobacco smoke enters our body, the first cells to receive it are in the mouth, nose and throat.
These effects on the immune system are also linked to a higher likelihood of developing cancer.
We also cannot forget that tobacco smoke robs us of our sense of taste and smell, leaving an almost continuous bitter taste in the mouth.

Lung damage

Furthermore, due to the direct damage caused by tobacco on the tissue that maintains the structure of the lungs, the bronchi and bronchioles become blocked, generating symptoms similar to suffocation.
As if that were not enough, people with COPD are also more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, and lung cancer.

Black tar and macrophages

We can cast our minds back to the previous image of my father’s pipe, black and sticky with tar.
It so happens that the lungs are rich in macrophages – special cells that play a key role in our immune systems by reacting to attacks, producing inflammatory responses.
These cells end up ingesting the tar from tobacco, and they eventually die loaded with this substance which builds up and gives a smoker’s lungs their characteristic blackened appearance.

Nicotine’s effects on neurons: dependence and addiction

As with any other compound that stimulates neurotransmitter receptors, permanent stimulation desensitises neurons.
This means that the neurons reduce the number of receptors, or change their sensitivity to the stimulant.
This desensitisation process can lead not only to nicotine dependence, but also to other diseases such as memory loss.
