Oh HELLO!
What’s new, pussycats? Did you hear that some young royal Brit is banging his stepmother?
That’s soooooooooo interesting. Season 2, you’ve had your fun, but all good things, such as the Republican National Convention, must come to an end. Spotted: Season 1 Episode 16, back from a mysterious absence. The bitch is back. In fact, ‘the queen’ is back if you...

Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 16 and Monday's...
Georgina sneezed.
“Feh.”
– Re: GGS1E17. Yeah, yeah, we’re all Chuck Bass. Go start a twitter.
Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 16 and the 2008...
It is understood: Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 16 is a crystalline reflection of society as we know it. Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 16 represents the whole truth of life. It is not only a passive phenomenon— representing reality— but an active one, too, reshaping events of past, present and future with every flicker of Blair’s eyes. It transcends time and space, replicating...
“Jenny Humphrey in the Met fountain, fishing for change”
– This GG rumor reminds me of the book The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, in which runaway children move into the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a few days. I hope Jenny does exactly that!
“Blair Waldorf seen dallying with an off-duty doorman at the blarney stone”
– This GG rumor is hilarious, because why would blair every hook up with a doorman? can she really get NOBODY in her own social world to sleep with her???
Additionally: the blarney stone, to people outside new york, conjures up idea of SKILLED WRITING (like… in Ireland). is this a self-referential holla by the gossip girl writers? or a clever prank played on gossip girl by some haywire tipsters?
Blair: A nice shiny dime to add to your collection!
Jenny: Why the fruit cup B, lost your taste for yogurt?
Jenny, strikingly, can’t come up with an insult that relates to blair’s sluttiness as referenced in today's gossip girl blast. But Blair expands on the coin-fishing rumor beautifully. they’re playing on two whole different levels.
unless ‘yogurt’ is a nasty reference to blow jobs or somethin? Gossip Girl you didn’t!
Gustave Courbet
The exhibition advertised on the steps of the Met (in the show and in real life) is Gustave Courbet. Let’s wikipedia that shit…. He coined the term “REALISM.” hahahahahaha! “Rather, Courbet believed the Realist artist’s mission was the pursuit of truth, which would help erase social contradictions and imbalances.” “For Courbet realism dealt not...
Both these informative works were banned from public viewing. Sad, I fear that Serena’s sex tape will see the same fate. I’ll mention this again later, but I definitely see an opportunity for someone to make a porn parody.
courbet’s death was alcoholism related. HOLLLLLA SERENA. AND HOPEFULLY BLAIR. (BLAIR PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET DRUNK. WITH ME. ALSO OTHER DRUGS PLEASE).
“It’s a really small get together with just our closest friends.”
– Jenny’s speaking like she and Asher are totez already married. “Our” friends? Also, she practiced this line before.
Although, I guess if they’re an old married couple that explains why they’re not bangin’!!!!!
Also, what is this, a dinner party w assigned seats? what party can’t accommodate more? these ues kids need to learn a more socially subtle way to exclude others.
NellyYuki: Blair can take my place!
NellyYuki here is falling into the exact same trap that jenny humphrey did with the kiss on the lips invite to serena. do I smell a rise to power by NellyYuki? I can definitely see her big glasses being a ticket into the world of Brooklyn hipsters, throwing yet another wrench into the socioeconomic drama.
“Invitations are non-transferable!?”
– okay, now jenny’s just on crack. you don’t want your ues manse party to sound like a place that can just be ‘reserved’ by anyone. doesn’t she sound like she’s a customer service rep talking about frequent flyer miles? or better yet, an overexcited rep based in Bangladesh. poor jenny. she’s trying...
“She’s new to the group”
– Jenny smirks. As if Blair doesn’t know, as if Blair wasn’t the one who organized NellyYuki’s social ascent. SHUT UP JENNY!
speakin of which, why didn’t we get to see that happen? sad!
“Just because your name is on the invite doesn’t make you a hostess.”
– oh SNAPPPPPPP. Blair knows what’s up.
When jenny answers a call from (ostensibly) her party planner, one of her minions says “oh my god.” what is she omg-ing about? Is she commenting directly/immediately on the blair-jenny drama? Isn’t she scared the B and J will cut her? Or is she praising jenny for having a party planner? that would be weird bc even if having a party planner is a weird thing for these girls, they’ve been trained...
Evite? get out of here. Also Jenny get a better password, dumbass.
Rufus: I was just wondering what time you wanted me to serve your favorite home cooked meal tonight.
Wow. Bet Rufus spent a long while thinking that one up.
“LOVE YOU TOO”
– Sarcastic rufus. hahahahaha. I’ve never heard a parent use this tone when telling saying “love you” to a child. is rufus saying this because he knows jenny is lying, or bc he doesn’t really love jenny? Hope it’s the latter, Upper East Siders! season 2 ABANDONMENT?
“FLORAL EMERGENCY”
– hell yes. remember jenny’s earlier obsession with blair’s hydrangeas? girl just can’t help showing her weaknesses.
NellyYuki are you an American Apparel model? look at those big glasses. ooh, season 2: sexual harassment plot?
Blair: How did little Jenny Humphrey become the next brooke astor?
hell yes. brooke astor who is later neglected by her son, up until her death? no seriously. does this mean jenny is going to age quickly? or get all into charity? or become a teenage mother? or be neglected by dan/rufus? I hope the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE.
What does NellyYuki know about marrying up? Is she a secret gold-digger too?
CUT TO SERENA, who says “why the long face”—shes speaking to eric, but blair (in the prev scene) also ended w/ a long face. does this mean that serena is somehow omniscient?
I’m really obsessed with eric’s messenger bag (with the plaid shoulder rest). is the shoulder pad the new handkerchief square? if so, what the fuck does PLAID mean?
Bart, chuck, and prince albert? does someone have a prince albert? I mean, for prince albert to be on this show ISN’T EVEN REALISTIC. AT ALL. BLOWING MY MIND.
“Oh no that didn’t COME OUT like I meant it.”
– Eric. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!
Eric says GOSSIP GIRL all bored-like, you know how people start talking about the weather really sarcastically because they actually have nothing left to say. yeah yeah he and his sister cant communicate lets move on.
“Looks like jenny’s been spotted at gap sewing stella mccartney labels into...”
– HAY ERIC U DON’T KNOW IT, BUT YOU JUST CAME OUT.
also, um, pocket tees? I don’t even think the gap sells pocket tees anymore. bad rumor! NellyYuki was that you?
Referencing real world speculation that eric might be gossip girl: orgasm, obviously. also was serena complicit in that rumor? (hey, it made sense at the time!) love that they’re referencing a fight or at least tension that occurred offscreen. this tv show is so real. so real.
hate the ringtones utilized in this ep. more flo rida please.
“SALUT, CHUCK!”
– Yes. Salut, Chuck!
“Sarah” is reading a NY travel guide? I mean, I get it, but she must be sooooooo bored. I hope she has a harlequin romance slipped between the covers.
Vanessa: You can click those heels all you want...
Vanessa, if you're really that into the Wizard of Oz, I'd really like it if you started doing more drugs. GG GOES ON A TRIP!!!!
Portland? Please, girl.
Oh hey Dan, look at ‘chu saying “Hey Sarah” like its no big thang. (Side Note: Wouldn’t it be great if Georgina ACTUALLY fell for Dan? And, like, killed Serena to get him for good?)
Sarah: Are there any new developments?
Oh Georgina you're so good at acting like you give a shit about gossip. You know Dan loves him some gossip girls.
“Jenny and her boyfriend are even more inseparable, and she’s even more...”
– LOVE IT HOLLA AT MY POET DAN. Also, are we to assume that Dan has New Yorker-quality writing skills based on these beatz? Also, could Dan maybe become a white rapper? That’d be nice.
