Gossip Girl: Let's Stick to ONE Show
11:39 pm, 12th May 2009
OK, so this week we had a terrible situation where the new flashback/door pilot, “Valley Girls” was as seamlessly integrated into the regular Gossip Girl as B&T crowds in Williamsburg. (You can shop at H&M, you can shop at Forever 21, but we draw the line at STRAWBERRY.)
And speaking of Williamsburg, I live near Hipsterville, USA and basically everyone I see looks like this:
An Olsen Twin and a quirky video artist with second hand boots. See your outfits next month at Beacon’s Closet!
It’s great.
So we had a super rad time watching the show Monday night, though! Christina was back in town. Amelia and I wore our Team Blair shirts, and EVERYONE wore headbands – including Tom and our friend Samantha’s 19 month old, Olivia, who squealed with delight anytime we had a group reaction to anything on the show 
This show is cross-generational.
Everyone was in agreement that Blair’s dress was GORGEOUS:
Pretty fantasy dress!
Let’s take a closer look:
Still pretty!!!!!!
Chuck was also very dapper (words of Tom) in his tux, which was a total throwback to the Dean Martin/Rat Pack days:
Pass this guy a Cuban.
Huge issue with Serena’s dress, which looks neither Jenny-designed nor fitting with the “let’s show off Blake’s new cans” theme. I’m not computing:
Low boob dress.
Some stuff that WAS awesome: 
Good looks of Rufus + Techno savvy of Zack Morris = WUTWUT!
And “To the Impala!”? GREAT. Amazing. But that’s all you’re good for, “Valley Girls”. That and a montage of Brittany Snow (who can’t act) trying on as many camel toe-enabling outfits as she can. It’s like the opening sequence of the “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” movie. Or “Clueless”. Or the original “Valley Girl” movie. All movies that did it better – and when Melissa Joan Hart has you beat, it’s time to give up!
Unfortch, this trip to La La Land left SO MANY things unresolved:
-HELLO, Georgina/Poppy Lifton situation
-Rufus’ mangina
-Dan going to Yale? Maybe now’s the time to take that full scholarship to Smith. -Not that we care, but Serena and Gabe
-Eric quota unfulfilled
-Need more Vitamin Water references
-CHUCK AND BLAIRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Let’s take one last look at Blair’s wonderfulness:
As iconic as any of Carrie’s dresses.
I can’t believe that the season is over, but I must say that although I <3 this show forever and ever, it so went downhill during the second half of the season. WTF?! Ughhh, new writers. There was that whole 2 month gap, and then THIS crap?! I can’t deal – let’s hope for a better season three.
After watching this episode, we played the GG “Never Have I Ever” Game, which Amelia brought over:

Favorite Question: “Never have I ever drank on school property like that time Georgina sent a case of champagne to S.”
Let me tell you, it was great! And we weren’t even drunk…. Tom even joined the fun with us girls and invented his own acronym: OMGWAIGR (Oh my God, WHAT am I gonna roll?!). It takes a real man.
