But while we were at Fashion Week, alarm bells went off all over Twitter about Serena’s pajamas, so I couldn’t let another day slide without, well, some slides. I would love a crossover between this show and GCB. Blair Waldorf vs The Cheno would be a dream.
Plotwise: Same old. Chuck loves Blair! Blair loves Chuck! Blair can’t be with Chuck because of [insert thing here]. But then [insert thing here] goes away and Blair decides she can’t be with Chuck anyway because of [insert other thing here]. In this case, it’s her pre-nup, and then the fact that Blair decides she loves Chuck but she’s IN love with Dan. Uh-huh. Not with that hair, people. Never. Oh, and when Serena’s grandmother dies, the lid blows off the whole Ivy-Isn’t-The-Real-Charlie-Rhodes thing, and grandma knew and left her everything anyway. So the keys to the penthouse are in the impostor’s purse. WHAT UP, UPPER EAST SQUATTERS.

Hah, the Summer sisters share clothes.
About Pic #15… Why buy Philippe Starck Louis XV Ghost Chairs (http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/1/hash/1265/481823/1/1.jpg) for your dining room and then have them uphosltered or cushioned (http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/louis-ghost-chairs-cushioned.jpg)? Isn’t the point of them to have see through chairs which are light, let light through and don’t obstruct your view? EPIC FAIL, “Gossip Girl” set designers!
About slide #16 – that is actually not Georgina’s baby daddy. Her baby daddy is some Russian mobster, but she escaped and she married this one because she wanted her son to have a legacy at Yale? Or something. I can’t believe I know this.
Ha! Well, thank God someone does…
I also can’t figure out if Serena still has a job, or if they’ve all just dropped out of college for good. I’ve obviously not been paying super close attention to the show, but it seems like these people just wander around scheming full time now.
I love GG right now! The start of season 5 was sooo lame, but now when Georgina is back and Dair is FINALLY happening I sort of remember why I loved the show in the first place. The series should end this season though, on a high note.
I know you’re here to discuss the awkward-to-atrocious fashion (and hair!), but can we also discuss that Gossip Girl is just terrible now? I don’t believe any of these people care about each other, and I don’t care about any of the new characters they keep throwing my way. Can we go back to seasons 1 – 3, please?
Only in the Fug recaps do I get to see opera glasses, pajama rompers, copper metallic coats, and so many vests, on television.
I guess Heather hates Dan (insert sad face here) but this whole Dan/Blair arc has literally been the best thing the show has done in years. It got me to actualy care about it for the first time in ages, and legitimate squee-ing happened. More than once. And I’m in my 30s.
I KNOW. Gossip Girl is just brutal to watch now- I’m basically just sticking around for the coats and shoes- but these first couple Dair kisses have actually made me SQUEE too. They have surprisingly good chemistry.
I agree with you all!
On another note: I thought the attire Blair wore at Cece’s wake was one of the best outfits this season.
“Blair can’t be with Chuck because of [insert thing here]. But then [insert thing here] goes away and Blair decides she can’t be with Chuck anyway because of [insert other thing here].”
Whooah! that’s exactly what is happening on Gossip girl!
Back to clothes, I can’t believe I missed Serena’s “pajamas”. And yes, the vest was part of Blair’s dress and it was only in the front, if I remember well, which makes it worse.
apparently pajamas are “on trend” for spring: http://www.poisepolish.com/2012/02/spring-2012-trend-pajamas.html
which means that thomas jane and mickey rourke should be so haute in about ten days.
re: dan hair. i believe the reason for this is that penn badgley’s growing it out to for his Jeff Buckley biopic, however even for DUMBO this makes little sense. maybe dan humphrey has turned to meth. they could really milk a david foster wallace angle and turn blair into a debutante version of Courtney Love. do i have to write this myself?
but can we just talk for a second about how bereft life will be without cece rhodes? godspeed, you fabulous, manipulative schemer. you shall be missed. (but take comfort, at least you managed to fuck with people from beyond the grave, well done there.)
I love Serena’s sweater arms jacket and Blair’s red Valentine’s dress. The girl who played Juliette got the bad storyline but is an infinitely better actress than Ivy Dickens.
I’m just glad to hear there is an actual reason for Dan’s atrocious hair (actor growing it out for a role). Still, there had to be better options for styling it, right?
I love Dair more than possibly any coupledom ever (it’s freaking even me out), but as great as the spinning kiss scene was, that is how bad the styling of PB’s Buckley hair is in that scene. Actually the styling of Dan, period. Mullet, constant stubble, even paler skin than normal, and I’ve seen a few times recently where he appears to be wearing black jeans and pointy dress shoes or boots that make him walk like a priss. Bad.(Somehow I wasn’t bothered in the Valentine episode, though, because Dan and Blair both looked like they were going to cry during every conversation, which was sweet, and the red dress + St. Jude’s suit were too charming.) Anyway. CUT THAT MULLET.
