XoXo! GG, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. Gossips! It certainly brings out the gossipmongers in all of us. Who doesn't love gossips and catfights? Girls who don't have the balls to bitch in real life gets their dose of daily bitching, thanks largely to Blaire and her posse.
2. The designer clothes! Blair and Serena never cease to dazzle in clothes that would turn Hollywood starlets to shame. And Chuck Bass! He single-handedly redefined the meaning of a seemingly mundane scarf.
3. Nate Archibald. Ahhh... you can wipe the drool off the desk now, it's gross.
4. Reformed bad girl meets good boy and lives happily ever after. Well, maybe that's too early to say. Let's see how things turn out for Serena and Dan in Season 2.
5. The parents! Now how weird is that? Gossip girl is perhaps the only teen series with the parents not only very visible but with their own juicy stories to tell. And such stories! I'm totally rooting for Lily and Rufus.
... All these, and more. I was actually skeptical the first time I saw Gossip Girl. They look too old, too sophisticated to pass off as high school students. And I've never seen a single classroom during the entire run of the first season, ever. But what do I know. Also, it isn't a reality show but oddly, I felt like a voyeur during the first few episodes. These Upper East Siders are totally different creatures and I felt like if I'm not careful, I'd be found out. But these weird feelings soon passed and before I know it, Gossip Girls blogging about me and my totally scandalous life... yeah, like, in my dreams.
