I will be the first to admit, I'm a Gossip Girl-aholic. I know it's had some bad press in terms of young teens watching the show and there being content on there that's not appropriate for them, but I'm not getting into that. That's a whole other post on parenting and what parents let their kids do an watch. BUT anyway, being that I watch the show, I have to say that I wish life were really like that sometimes. As I was watching yesterday's episode, I tweeted this:
Why can't relationships be like those on Gossip Girl?
Tons of sex, lots of retail therapy, and boys who really love their girls.
Don't get me wrong... the b.s. that goes on in this show is absolutely ridiculous...the lies, the cheating, the "I'm a teenage billionaire so I'm going to buy my way to get things", the excessive drama...
I can do without all that. However, when you strip all that away, you get Nate and Serena, Blair and Chuck, and Dan and Vanessa. And although each relationship has their own difficulties, as any relationship does and should, they all have tons of sex, tons of shopping, and when the cards are all in, they all truly love each other. *SPOILER ALERT* For those who haven't watched this week's episode, don't read this. Nate has waited for several years, according to the storyline to be with Serena...and he's stayed in the background (except for that incident in the first season where he and Serena got drunk and had sex...) watching her go through everything til he knew he could sweep in and be her prince charming. Chuck and Blair...they've come such a long way...in this week's episode, that instance where Blair goes down to the bar to check on him after he tells them about his mother...the look he gives her with the kiss? Not going to lie...I kinda wish someone would look at me like that sometime soon... And then there's Dan and Vanessa...the perpetual best friend guy/girl pair who give in to the sexual tension FINALLY! So long as nothing happens (but really, c'mon...this is Gossip Girl...of COURSE something is going to happen...) to their relationship, they will be perfect and there's no secrets between them.
Listen to me talking about and analyzing characters from a tv show as though they were real people. Good grief! What is wrong with me?! But anyway, to end this who ramble, what if life were really like that? You were able to find someone that you really loved being around, the sex was fantastic, AND you got to spend tons of money to look fabulous without even thinking about how expensive it all was?
On a closing note: I'm going super blonde in a matter of a few hours from now! My stylist Jessica is amazing and I love her...we have a ton of fun together =) Here's the picture that I'm bringing her as a model for the hair colour I want:
Yes, this is Drew Barrymore, I know that.
So in essence, I will be going with a lighter base colour, with lighter highlights on top. This is the blondest I will be since I was a really little kid with wheat-coloured hair running around in the summer sun, so it'll be a huge change. I will most definitely include a post about the whole experience tomorrow =) So that I am bound to doing it instead of finding other things to do, I will also be starting something called "Writing Wednesdays" in which I showcase some of my writing that I've done over the years at the plea of several of my 20sb friends =) AND I will also do a post which is entirely dedicated to Dyinetch who has gifted me with another 2 blog awards, to which I will finally respond =)

S.S. DOBBS
I stopped watching Gossip Girl when Hillary Duff became a part of it! Haha! But I love Blair's sarcasm. And your new hair looks good. ;D
I totally loved this episode! And I agree, that look Chuck gives Blair ... priceless :)
Loving the hair btw!! Totally hott for summer :)
I never got into Gossip Girl but i like the idea of guys who love their girls! :D
It might be a good show and all, but one of my pet peeves is when a show or movie is adapted from a book and shares little to no similarities with it other than the name. I saw a few of the first episodes of it and and I was like oh hell to the no because I read the books and the show deviated from the main story lines and characters ALREADY so I was just like meh.
How did it went? Post a pic of your new hair color!!
ps: I really don't like Serena. She is so needy and slutty and just plain boring... In the other hand I adore Blair!
