Little Diddy, bout Blair and Chuck

Fashion Week! A week of beautiful clothes, glamorous people, oh and did I mention fabulous parties. But only the most privileged and beautiful actually get tickets. but even more rare is being part of the show. So of course S would get such an amazing experience.

But Fashion Week was fabulous for everyone just ask Blair, Chuck, or Dan….

This episode was the epitome of bad karma for Blair but it serves B right. One wrong doing after another by Blair did nothing but make other people look better than her. First, Blair got rid of all the models. Jenny combated this by using the socialites from the audience including Serena as the models for the show. Second Blair put not one of Eleanor’s dresses but Jenny’s handmade dress on Serena for the finale. Blair thought she had won the battle until Eleanor was told that everyone loved the dress. So rather than Jenny looking like an incompetent intern, she saved the show and made it a huge success for Eleanor. Aw, but Blair was just trying to make others look bad so her mom will like her. Sorry Blair, but bitches don’t always win.

And what about Chuck and lonely boy? Or is Chuck the new lonely boy? Dan was trying to write a short story but needed inspiration for something more edgy. Who else to resort to but Chuck Bass or as Dan named him Charles Trout (clever). After going out drinking with Chuck on two occasions he lost his shoes and walked home barefoot, punched a guy in the face and ended up in jail; Edgy enough for you Dan? Dangerous and good quality for a story but the Dan discovered through he adventures that he did not want to exploit Chuck’s life. (Dan, that’s probably because you know you’re life would be a living hell if you did.) What we found out about Chuck was that his father hates him because his mother died while giving birth to him, or did she die in a plane crash when Chuck was 3? Make up your mind Charles Trout! Either way, Dan chose not to use such a tragic life experience as a storyline. At least someone has morals in this show.

But Chuck and Dan got out of jail. S is continuing her friendship with the socialite Poppy, and Jenny might quit school to start a fashion career. My oh my!! And what’s in store for B? Can she still seize her power from S? I guess we’ll see next week…

You know you love me,

This episode showed me how karma can really come back and bite you in the ass. I guess it made me rethink everything I say and do. I do not have the capacity to be like Blair, because to pull that off I would have to look like her and be as rich, but just doing little things can always come catch me in the end. But I do understand how Blair got to be the way she is. She felt as if her best friend was everything she was not. She was always second best, and having to be second always hurts. Between friends, and also siblings, there is always that competition dynamic that tears the two apart. This force doesn’t always override the love and care in the relationship but it can do some damage. It is so hard; as humans, we always seem to compare ourselves to people, and it is the people you spend the most time with (i.e. your best friend or sibling). When feeling second best, you do things to gain attention or bring the other down, even if deep down you really do love and care for them. As for getting back people that were bitches to you, I would totally understand if Dan would have wrote the story on “Chuck Flounder” but seeing Dan is the moral character out of the bunch, it was expected that he wouldn’t. I guess a show like this, you get to know the characters and understand all their sides and why they are who they are. I wonder of this would be the same with all the people in this world. What would the world be if everyone took the time to understand their enemy’s side?

The more I read your blogs it just becomes clear that you are a true Gossip Girl fan. Not that I ever really questioned it, but girl are you sure you're not the announcer for the show? You do such a great job speaking just like she does. So you have me wondering are you gg? haha :) Anyways, sorry I've been MIA on your blogs too many papers not enough time. I do love my daily antidote of Gossip Girl gossip. Maybe it's my love for Blair as an amazing character, but I sort of felt bad for her. Hating Serena for knowing it would hurt Blair if she did it. [I mean come on, how many times did she SAY that she knew it was wrong, and STILL did it? yeah, not so innocent S] Jenny on the other hand is pretty much seeing how close she can get to the fire without getting burned. Quitting school? What is the show thinking? With the GG epidemic fashion girls everywhere will fall right into her footsteps. Ah. Tragedy waits. We all knew karma had to makes its way back to Blair. She did have a lot against her, but I stand strong in believing as always she'll come out on top. As for lonely boy Dan it’s nice to see him keeping his morals, but Charles Trout? Seriously, it is funny just a little too unoriginal for this writing guru. I expected more from him. Oh, and can we get a little more Nate action? Shesh. Pretty boy can't stay out of the spot light too long, he's too gorgeous. Until next time, that was another awesome post. :)
