For starters, the headline and graphic at the top are really catchy. It got me wondering what they were talking about. Then the lede was effective because it revealed the topic but didn't give away the point of the story, just providing a descriptive background of what's going on. Another aspect of the story I liked was the nut graf. The word exalted stands out and descriptive sentences get right to the point. The thing that especially stood out to me was the sexy quote. I like how it was introduced and the fact that it provides the angle of the story. I think we can use something like this in our stories.
