Blair and Serena

It’s Blair’s eighteenth birthday!
Blair’s mom has a new boyfriend, who is not at all like Queen B. expects (come on B, your dad was gay! Being straight probably makes him a better boyfriend for your mom!) because he’s tiny and, well, looks like something from Deep Space Nine.

Serena and boring artisty Aaron are doing utterly boring stuff with maps, Dan is selling out Chuck to get into Yale and Little J is getting into a cat fight with model Agnes.

I know, I know, I don’t like Serena, but couldn’t she be a lot more unhappy. A venereal disease, a train wreck, something?

Sad moment: Chuck buys his dad a box at the Rangers and all his dad can say is “Nice gesture, but misguided as usual. I don’t have time for hockey games.” Jerk!

Funny quotes:

Blair to Serena: “Who cares about plaque or pretentious artists when your best friend is having a melt down?” (so true!)

Blair to Serena: “A guy starts in his blue period and it’s all great, but then he gets into cubism and it’s some other girl’s eye coming out of her forehead!” (you go girl!)

Chuck & Blair

No HIMYM alas last night! Because of the world series? I don’t care about the world series!!!!! I want my weekly fix of Marshall and Barney! Anyway, there was Gossip Girl though, apparently Manhattan’s too chique to be bothered by a little thing like the world series and it was actually pretty good!

Serena and Dan attend Rufus art opening as nauseating friends, but Serena kills the mood by hooking up with budding artist Aaron Rose (those glasses. Yikes. I know, I know, they are the latest in eyewear and chic, still he looks like an idiot) Little J has to deal with Eleanor Waldorf, who is attempting to “borrow” Jenny’s designs. Sighing, saw that one coming a mile away. Also: she’s been working there for what? A week? Already the daggers come out?  Blair attempts to seduce Chuck, why?, who doesn’t want to sleep with her. Reaaaally? A 17 year old boy doesn’t want to sleep with a nubile young girl until she tells him she loves him?

GG hasn’t been my favorite this season, but I liked tonight’s unlikely teaming up of Dan and Blair, trying to seduce Chuck.

What’s with the hair though? ‘Shorter, blonder’? She looks like a druggie.

Best quote of the week? There were a lot of them, but this one really cracked me up:
Sorry J., but in the real world you can’t take a note to the principle when a drunken model eats your homework

Blair

Gossip Girl went all Dangerous Liaisons/Cruel Intentions on us. Nice try, but Blair gave up way too soon, and there was none of the tension. Chuck apparently took one look at wholesome Vanessa and caved completely. Jeez…..  Vanessa must be one of the most boring people on the planet and thick as three planks to fall for Chuck. Doesn’t she watch tv? At all?! And Chuck actually interested in Boring Vanessa? Puhlease! Even though even he must get really tired of Blairs stupid hairbands….

Serena acting like the spoiled brat she is was ok, but they need a new storyline, something interesting, an arc, can’t Blair get pregnant or something? Cause I’m BORED!

So I don’t like Little J. Humphrey’s character on Gossip Girl, I really don’t. Boring, unrealistic, been there, done that (though I liked the story line where she stole clothes from her friends to hock them and buy new stuff). Who the HELL would put a 15 year old school girl in charge of an important runway show during fashion week? Is Mother Waldorff demented?

But in real life Taylor Momsen is soooo pretty! God, I wish I’d looked like that in high school…. I’d never have left
Also I actually think it’s kinda cool to hire a 14/15 year old to play just that: a young teen. All the others are in their twenties and though most of them pull it off,some really don’t: Vanessa for instance looks at least 25.

After the girls from 90210 took a bunch of heat for being too thin it was Taylor’s turn. Just like the others she told reporters in New York on Saturday that she’s ‘naturally thin’ and simply possesses ‘good genes’. You know what? Maybe she is and maybe she isn’t. As much as I like the idea of a young teen playing the part of young teen, I think it’s up to her parents and the producers to make sure that she eats and sleeps etc. You can’t really expect a 15 year old to make those kind of calls.
