On the fiction front, “Starstruck” is the second in the Fame Game trilogy, which took the character of Madison Parker from Conrad’s earlier “L.A. An appointment was made, I was given a time. “My favorite part was that it wasn’t even a suggestion (by her boss). “It was pretty bad,” she says of her hair, laughing a little as she remembers. When she interned at Teen Vogue, the first assignment editor Lisa Love gave her was to go to a hair salon and “de-Orange County” her overly bleached blonde hair. Of course, as she writes in the book, some of those early lessons need to be discarded as a girl becomes a woman and finds a more sophisticated style.
