xoxo, gossip girl.

I can't believe I just started watching this show, seriously, I've missed out on SO much.
After torrenting the first four seasons in an attempt to get myself hooked on something other than Pretty Little Liars, I'm halfway through the first season and I think I'm enjoying myself far too much. I'm so wrapped up in the decadent lives of Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen, and watching them strut on the streets of New York in their finery only fuels my desire to pack my bags and live life in the city that never sleeps. 

Sources: here, here, and here.
Call me stupid, but I've been visualizing what my life would be like if I was in the shoes of someone as spectacularly rich and honoured as Blair Waldorf. It would definitely be enjoyable; brunches in expensive hotels, racks of designer clothing, the hottest boyfriend ever. However, after some time I realized how materialistic and superficial that sort of life is, and how unsuited I am to that lifestyle. I'm a city girl by all means and I'm a very privileged person, but nothing ever weighs up to the simple pleasures in life, in my opinion. A balmy Sunday sail, rainy days, friday nights, writing poetry, playing the ukulele, dancing for hours, family time; those things will forever mean the most to me. It seems that when you've got as much as these girls do, it's harder and harder to find true happiness. 
And here's the ultimate question that I've been asking myself and everyone else: Who's prettier? Blair or Serena?
x
Personally, I think Blair is SO much prettier than Serena. All my friends disagree, but Leighton Meester is the most stunning girl ever and I love her dewy skin, warm smile and chocolate colored tresses. 
x
The amount of bitching, gossip and scandalous action that happens on this show is incredulous yet expected, and it's what makes the show so juicy. After all, underneath their designer clothes and expensive jewels, they're just a bunch of high school kids like us.

What do you think of Gossip Girl?

    If you love the TV series, you'll love the books! :) I read all of the books before season 1 came out, and they are just as good, and it's actually really awesome how the series doesn't follow the book plots at all! <3

    SO GLAD you've been catching up on GG! :D Season 5 is even better than season four, lots of scandalous mishaps cooking around :) I personally think Blair (or Leighton) is prettier than Serena/Blake too! I feel like Leighton is the best actress on the show as well, to me Serena has the same expression for almost every scene... hehe!

    Do you ship Blair/Chuck, Blair/Dan or Blair/Louis? I'm all for Blair/Chuck, but I feel he doesn't treat Blair the way she should be treated, but then again, they were made for each other! <3 Right now, I really like Blair/Louis but I think the writers purposely made Louis's character with no personality, as if he was just there because he's insanely gorgeous... hehe<3

    Just realized this post is incredibly long.... well, I'm an avid GG fan! :) We should talk more about the show, I don't really have anyone to talk about it with online! =P What's your favorite season so far?

    xoooxo

    ps: I agree with you on how amazing their lives are, but I think I would go slightly crazy with all the materalism if I were them! :o

    I love watching Gossip Girl. It's really interesting, but I do find that it's really mean at times... maybe that's what keeps me coming back? Getting caught up in their rich and glamorous lives isn't very hard, and I'm a city girl too, but nothing's more important than friends and family. (and FOOD.)

    Blair is kinda more pretty because she looks cuter. Serene is more of the glamorous kinda pretty.

    Serena is the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Total girl crush! Look up the photos from the 100th episode (I assume you haven't got to watching it yet?) it is the most visually spectacular thing i have ever seen, the clothes and beauty are just breathtaking! xxx
