Blair looked SOOOO gorgeous this episode, and I loved how they subtly made her more “wife-y” with those gorgeous Diane von Furstenberg suits! My favorite outfit, though, was when she was getting ready for dinner with Chuck. What a beautiful dress!!! How could he stand her up?!?! My guess is that it was a DVF or Temperley London, who was the designer of Jenny’s dress.
Temperley has such beautiful things. I checked out some of their stuff at: http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Temperley_London/Clothing
Here are some of my suggestions for the female characters:
But Jenny is a fag hag at age 15?! And totally cock blocking poor little E. Tone it down, girl!!! How long before you are hanging out at Duplex every night, singing along to Sondheim at the piano, a vodka gimlet in one hand and 20-year old dancer who just recently moved to the city from Nebraska on the other?!
Now I’m nitpicking: It was so uneventful when Chuck sat down at his father’s desk. Wouldn’t Bart Bass have had a cooler chair? It’s not even ergonomic?! Are you kidding me??? No wonder he was so angry all the time. His lumbar was all messed up.
Also, there was really good hair this episode! Blair and Serena had softer waves and they were just glossy and healthy looking. Nothing too crazy. Even Jenny was not frizzy. She found her flat iron!
But it can’t all be good. There is much less boobage from the blondie now, but STOP MUMBLING, SERENA!!! My favorite quote of hers from this episode was : “mmmrrrr mmmmm hrrr hmm mrmrmrmrhmhmmmm.” Girl, speak up – you ridiculous!!!
And WHAT was that ridiculous pink dress with a huge bow the non-speaking lemming wore at brunch?! Did she win it from a Carol Channing stage costume auction?
But yeah – Lily and Rufus getting together is HOT!!! Plus, major kudos to Matthew Settle for someone other than Serena showing some juiced up pecs on this show!!!
And my God, Eric is so wise!!! And adorable: “Sorry – there, I said it first!!!” He is a saint, is he not?
No comment on the Dan-Serena relation/Rufus-Lily love child. Bored to tears. Give me FASHION!!!
Question of the Week:
What’s the worst thing Chuck’s ever said to Blair?
a) That he said she was “rode hard and put away wet”.
b) When he told her to stop playing the wife.
c) When he DIDN’T say “I love you”.
d) To not go looking for him.
First off, nice blog overall.
Secondly, I’m upset with myself because I would have made a similar comment to Dan’s about the reserved eclairs and I do prefer Boggle to Showgirls. Am I turning into Dan? Where did this cardigan come from? Oh, crap.
Lastly, where did the adoptive parents get the newspaper done? On the boardwalk next to the “Take an old-timey picture” booth? “I’ll take a ‘Son drowned in the river’ and two ‘The McFosters land on the moon.’ Oh, can we get the last one on a mug too? They’ll love that at the office.”
Thanks Kevin! I think that the newspaper article was about their OTHER son that died but they’re pretending that it’s the Rufus-Lily son!!!
