Gossip Girl B/Witches Of Bushwick


Since Gossip Girl has been on air (bless that day) it has had many OMFG moments. First they advertised their bad reviews like so..



which I think was pretty clever


There have been plenty of shocking storylines, many drugs from marijuana to cocaine (remember Serenas big secret in season One where the guy overdosed and died?) pregnancies, ridiculous promiscuous behavior, deaths, divorces, threesomes etc. Nothing has shocked me yet or made me say Dude, that was Not cool.


But this weeks episode made me say the Exact thing. I am sorry but Juliet took it a little far with the whole drugging and apparently kidnapping Serena. First of all I think its ridiculous that Vanessa and Jenny are this whole team Brooklyn and want to show the other how it feels to be an outsider. I really do not get the whole concept.  The Four (S,B,C,N) grew up together and have a similar background. So what? They didn't ask for it did they? Why must they be attacked for being born and raised a certain way. Everyone has a background. Instead of being comfortable in it why must some people attack others. By doing so, Vanessa and Jenny making themselves apparent outsiders. Anyway I am getting a little ahead so I am going to rewind to the start.


The episode starts off with Eric and Elliot drawing stuff and Serena comes along and she instantly know its a Venn Diagram. I was nicely surprised to know that Serena knows what a Venn Diagram IS. The writers have stretched the whole Dan-Serena-Nate thing for way too long its getting very annoying. She hasn't been able to PICK one since the ending of last season.
Anyway, the Vanessa-Jenny-Juliet triangle has gone into complete bitch/psycho/need therapy mode. Juliet may possibly have a little crush on Jenny,she was falling all over her and her evil plans. She even proposed being a slave for her ( okay WORKING for her). When Jenny goes to Lily, telling her about Juliet, I saw a little hope for Jenny but alas the writers had tricked me and little J is still a bitch. Sigh.


I consider myself to be pretty 'tech savvy' but maybe not since I do not understand WHICH phone company allows for the existence of two SIM cards with the same number. One SIM card doesn't receive anything, just the outgoing works and the duplicate can receive and send. Wow. Need to suggest that to the Vodafone Puppy.


One realistic thing that happened in the episode and I can relate to was Lily being all Momma Bear on the dean. I know many mothers ( Hi! Mom!!) who will defend their child with all their instinct from any outsider but will give them hell for the same when the two of them are alone. And that is exactly what happened between super mom Lily and Serena.


 Also the dig Juliet made at Lily " Van der woodsen, Bass, Humpfrey, WHAT is her last name" was SO not cool. If I were Serena ( I WISH) Juilet would have a black eye right there and then!! 




Our beloved Chuck and Blair have a little problem. They both have people in their lives telling them to make changes (i.e stop seeing eachother) so they don`t ruin their image, you know for work and stuff. They still manage to help eachother out while indulging in their favourite pastime. And while talking about Balenciaga and Public condemnation Chuck utters those three lovely words.They both ignore it assuming that he did not mean it.
But the ever wise Dorota knocks some sense into Blair who quickly strips down to her nightie and goes to Chucks 'Sinners and Saints' Masquerade.


Meanwhile the awful three ( Juliet Jenny and Vanessa ) are playing around with Dan and Nate. (God those two are dumb) Gossip Girl has to play her part (the show IS named after her) and lets it slip ( yeah right ) that Serena is wearing a Carolina Herrera dress to the Masquerade. Now the writers are REALLY running out of ideas. Do you remember the last masquerade party where Jenny posed as Serena once again and Nate told her he loves her. Come On!



 Juliet puts the money she just received from her recent black mail from Lily to good use and buys two identical dresses, one for herself and Jenny. Both of whom are going to pose as Serena and screw with Dan and Nates head a little more. I dont know how that is possible since neither Juliet nor Jenny have the boobs or the messy bed hair of Serena. Also Juliet isn`t as BLONDE!


Desperately awaiting for the end of these three b...um witches


To sum it all up the two blonde idiots succeed and ruin Serenas relationship with Dan Nate and Blair. Blair and Chuck decide they WILL be together after all but Blair soon decides she needs to be her own person before she can be Chucks ( good for her! )
The best part is ofcourse that the ego between them has gone and they do in fact love each other.






The fashion of the episode was meh. Nothing significant AT ALL thus this very long recap. I didnt think any of the outfits were worth mentioning.


But tell me who do you prefer Serena with. Nate Dan or the latest tight dress she has on? 


Favourite Quotes


Serena: A Venn diagram? Really? You seriously expect me to make this monumental decision with colored pencils and graph paper?
Eric: Don’t mock. Eliot got an 800 on his math SATs.
Eliot: Probability. Set theory. It’s basically what they do when you sign up for an online dating service.
Serena: Okay, E’s harmony.



Juliet: I should have known taking down Serena involved wearing the perfect dress.
Jenny: Well, any time I can combine styling with revenge. Plus this isn’t exactly my first masquerade party.



Blair: As long as I’m with you, I’m Hilary in the White House. And I want to be Hilary, Secretary of State. But with better hair


Blair Waldorf: my black Balenciaga will be perfect to publicly condemn you. 
Chuck Bass: i love poplin. 
Blair Waldorf: i love condemnation. 
Chuck Bass: i love you. 
……………… 
Blair Waldorf: of course no one does black like
Dior.

Gossip Girl: Juliet Doesn`t Live Here Anymore

Lots of hate sex, Dan gets dumped twice in the same episode by Serena and Juliet wears grey again.


I really like the starting scenes of this episode. I think Leighton Meester acted pretty darn well during her conversation with Serena,while there a bump inside her covers. [ I want Blairs Bed btw, among other things ]


Blair and Chuck cannot keep their hands off each other and when they finally decide to stop Chuck wants 'immersion therapy' while Blair immerses herself into macaroons!
Chuck keeps popping up here and there and finally come into Blairs room wearing This
I cant seem to decide whose night gown that is. Hers or His? I mean Chuck Bass having a velvet nightgown isn`t as absurd as it may sound but it was a really weird fit on him :S


Anyway so there is yet another Black Tie Event in Gossip Girl Land. I am really not complaining, how else will they show us the amazing gowns and dresses. Even though i have mentioned this before here




I Need.That. Dress.


Blair looked radiant as ever in a Raplh Lauren column dress. It looked like a day dress to me but anyway.


Is he checking out her ass here btw?

The ballet seemed to be a disaster for Dan ( because Serena called him to the event since she had let go of Collin not knowing that Collin in turn had let go of his job ) Vanessa & Juliet.

Vanessa with her Game Face On. And it looks like a truck full of ruffles threw up on her.


The whole scene with the Dean was pretty funny. Well written I would say. Blair saves Serena and Chuck saves Blair.




So everyone finally knows that Juliet is a liar. But the reason is still umm unkown. And our 4 lead characters don`t bother to figure it out. `Jealousy for Serena` seems plausible enough. I mean yes Serena you have an incredible face a killer body and an even better wardrobe. You have enough money to suppoort a small country and you have hooked up with the hottest men on this show but still that isn`t reason enough for someone to take pictures of you kissing your oh-so-hot proffesor and wanting you expelled. I know its hard for four people who are so pretty to think this much but I thought they could`ve altleast figured out that there was a deeper reason for Juliet's Shenanigans.
They have accomplished alot, these four in this show. I don`t know why THIS was so hard. However I did love the scene where the four of them ( I do hope you know I am referring to Blair Chuck Nate and Serena : ) ) surround Juliet and threaten the hell out of her. I do love a good bullying session by pretty people  take down.





Anyway it`s clearly not the characters fault. The writers have to stretch this weird Juliet storyline as far as they can so that Vanessa and Jenny actually have something to do. Did you see that Jenny had lesser amounts of black shadow on her to tell us that she was just lounging around?


I do not know why Vanessa hates Serena? Is it still the Nate thing? And why does Jenny hate Serena? Is it ALSO the Nate thing? Do Vanessa and Jenny know that ?! Or is it that the two outsiders from Brooklyn are trying to take down the Upper East Siders..Again. *Yawn* We all know how that is going to end.


What i also don`t get is the moment Serena and Collin could actually be together, normally, they were somehow not attracted to each other. Right. Moving on


Now that Collin is out of the picture Serena needs someone else. And since Alphabetically Dan come before Nate she calls him up for the second time in this episode. Ofcourse Nate has superpowers along with his prettiness and reaches there first! Dan, yet again is in the background..looking at Serena with another guy.




Serenas Choice-The girl need to FLIP a COIN


 Who do you like better? Sere-Nate or Sere-Dan.  Dan is way too bland for me. I would love to see Serena and Nate again.


Favourite Quotes:


Chuck: This comforter blocks out so much noise they could sell it to Bose.
Blair
: This has got to end.
Chuc
k: I thought I just did.
Blair

Serena: I know we agreed to wait, but it feels like life is just passing us by. It's not fair.
Blair
: Life is tough Serena. Get a helmet.



Dorota: If KGB can't get me to talk, Chuck Bass has no chance. <---- best quote of the episode,Hands Down


Juliet: Don't you see? They're all protecting each other.
Vanessa
: This is what they always do.
Dean Reuther
: I'm sorry. Who are you?    



Blair: What if I need to go through sex rehab like Jesse James?




Blair: [to Serena] Do you forget what happens to you on vacation? There's a reason you never get a tan line.


Juliet: Nate, this isn't me. You know that.
Nate:
How would I ever believe anything you say again?
Blair
: Well you can believe the part where she does her own hair.





Oh did i Mention, Juliet wears Grey again? 



   OhMyGod I almost forgot to write about the very end. When the Hate Sex ends. Giving way to this...


Doesn`t look very hateful to me.

Koffee With Karan Mr And Mrs. Bachan Jr edition.

I am watching the season premiere of Koffee With Karan with Madam Rai Bachan and Jr Bachan, as i write this.

I am sorry to everyone who is an Aishwarya Rai fan. Can she be anymore fake? I cannot stand her laugh. She seems to have a witch like laugh on this show according to my mother.

Again wearing a long BLACK toga like dress. Why cant she ever wow us with some colour and a nice dress? I know she`s putting on weight with her cupcakes and all and shes desperately trying to hide it with wearing black but come on. How long will she wear black dresses and anarkali kurtas? I was quite surprised that she gave the anarkali a break this time around.

But I do have to give it to her, she was trying to be funny, its just that she wasn`t.


"We`re Bachans for all seasons and my name is not khan."


What does that even Mean!? Like seriously.
Anyway, atleast she tried to be a little out of her comfort zone. But overall. Blah.


"anything for you swami" yup. Thats it!


Did you see the show? Do you completely disagree with me? Come on,its ok you can tell me. I can take it:)

Gossip Girl- Goodbye, Columbia

Hello!
I just finished watching Gossip Girl 'Goodbye, Columbia'
While this episode was high on drama and trickery it was very low on fashion! So low that I cant remember one outfit that is worth putting up here. Nothing was spectacular and nothing was horrendous. Just bland when it came to clothing :(
And btw Chuck has officially gone insane. I wont spoil it for you, see for yourself.

Favourite Quotes [Even these were bland. No witty exchanges, no jabs :( whats happened to Gossip Girls stylists and writers!?]

Dan: Thanks for inviting me today. After everything that’s happened...
Nate: Yeah, yeah, I missed you too. (beat) No hugs. You’re not getting a hug.
Dan: Not one?
Nate: Not one.

Blair: We’re researching women of power so I can better forge my path to become one of them. (gasps) Sarah Louise Palin? Do you even want to be a minion?

Chuck: Mmm. I’d almost forgotten how much I used to enjoy your pie.

The whole episode was meh.

Also, the music on Gossip Girl is getting more hip-hoppy and i dunno how to describe it but heavy :S
Love the last scene where the guy is talking to serena. The song is pretty awesome
Like a G6 by The Far East Movement.


Gossip Girls’ Fashions Night Out


Style on 'The Undergraduates' season 4 Ep 3 


This picture does not do justice to this dress AT ALL. There is this scene where she is walking back to meet Blair and the way this dress flows is AMAZING.
Yes her boobs are out again but So What? I think she looks perfectly fine and not at all vulgar.


Blake Lively CLEARLY looking a thousand times better than the model and the dress is styled much better without the stockings.




Leighton Meester also looks damn nice in this Valentino dress. The bling, a little less conservative from her usual blair prim and proper style.
Maybe they couldve done something different with her hair.
But hey, Who am i to question the stylists at Gossip Girl :)

This was a Really good episode dont you think?

My favorite line from this episode:

Blair:" It doesn’t matter if the dress is couture if the girl is off the rack. And then, as with all things that don’t fit, you’ll be sent back to where you came from. Oh, and by the way, if I were you, I’d want to accessorize with some gloves. Not even a manicure can mask those peasant hands."
