 -- I knew Gossip Girl from my friends who were like so enthralled with the twist of the story. I was like "YeahYeah, this might be another TV Series that teeny-boppers like. Welcome to loserville. Ugh"  But i got too curious because everyone was talking about it. So i bought a DVD and jumped on my couch then i realized, i was hooked up; even my sister was. Then and there, i talk about it a lot of times - the ill-fated story, romance, fashion, clique-fights, and the life of a socialite. Well, not everybody gets to have a chance to be a hotel heir's girlfriend. Cheers to Gossip Girl, xoxo

-GOSSIP GIRL-

Welcome to New York's Upper East side where the wealthy and connected mingle at benefits and try to deal with their always dramatic love lives, not to mention picking colleges. Blair Waldorf is the so-called toast of adolescence in her world; she and her friends, Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates, go to a prep school and fancy parties with their rich parents. Blair is envied by her adversaries because she is thought to have the perfect life, not just because of her gorgeous boyfriend, Nate Archibald, but because she's also planning on getting into her dream college,Yale. With everyone worried about college(or procrastinating on worrying, which everyone seems to be doing), and senior year dragging along, her seemingly perfect life is interrupted by her ex-best friend, the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen, coming back into town after getting kicked out of boarding school. Serena comes back into her life, and into the eyes of Blair's boy friend. When everything Blair knows starts to fall apart, everyone will realize that her life is far from perfect. Will life in the the Upper East Side redeem itself of what it's really supposed to be? Or will the false facade reveal that the rich have the same problems as the not so rich (Jenny and Dan Humphrey), if not more. And just maybe Jenny and Dan are all the more happy with their simple, not so expectant lives.
