i submit nelly yuki!!

holy shit. it’s here. the finale! what crazies can joshie schwartz throw at us now?? i actually tried not to live blog this one,  bc i was watching with 941 and friends, buuut boyalex saw my pain and kindly offered his laptop (such a gentleman!), and so, here we go!

be warned, this isnt going to be a super snarky, detailed post. mostly, i was focusing on the fact that 1) my thai takeout was awesome, 2) so was my red wine and 3) if blair and chuck didnt get it on soon, i was going to have a psychotic breakdown and quite possibly embarrass myself even further.  anyway, lets investigate some of this week’s gems, and lament on the fact that we now have to wait a whole summer for more nail-biting madness.

no more headbands next year. except this one.

thank god for the daily intel

the GG reality index:

Okay, so let’s get into this subplot, of the real show, wherein Chuck creates Blair’s dream prom for her just “to make sure she had the perfect night.” This is the type of totally unrealistic, hokey plotline that damages young girls forever and fucks up their expectations for men in general. Like on a scale of one to ten, one being Dan’s borrowing a dress from his sister for Serena and ten being the most popular guy in school dumping his hot girlfriend in order to show up at the house of some sophomore he’s never met in a muscle-hugging plaid shirt and whisk her off in a red Ferrari to enjoy a makeout sesh over a birthday cake because she seems, like, real, Chuck’s fairy-godmother act is a least a seven or an eight. First of all, high-school guys are neither detail-oriented nor especially thoughtful, and they are certainly not into performing selfless actions of romance they will not get credit, i.e. laid, for. If they do, then they are stalkers and weird. Second, Jessica has lived her entire life without ever having received a dress mysteriously delivered in a box from Paris that looked like a hideous Beyoncé creation on the hanger but in real life was breathtaking and fit her exactly, and she has a sneaking suspicion that this is due less to her station in life than the fact that it never happens to anyone, ever. If you know differently, please e-mail jpressler [at] nymag.com with the entire story. Until then, minus 10.

for serious. and i love dailyintel for tossing another john hughes reference in there.

you know what? i might actually be okay with this.

spoiler alert.

To paraphrase one Dan Humphrey: Do with this what you will.

While i hate the idea of nate and blair together, and adore the C/B chemistry, i cant help but admit that im more than okay with this if Josh wants to take it here. Here’s why:

1. have you seen how freaking cute these two are in real life? Seriously.

2. theyre the only other couple besides Chuck and Blair that actually has had believable chemistry on this show (remember that whole Dangerous Liasons storyline??).  Granted, that might be because Ed Westwick could woo a stuffed animal, Chace Crawfrd is way too gayface, and PennB is just a complete dufus, but still.

all the world’s a stage

okay, first things first – apologies to all my (five) faithful readers. this is long long long overdue.

but let’s just jump into it, shall we? it’s been a month (plus?) since we’ve seen our favorite crew (hmm, note the strategic timing of one rolling stone article & delicious cover shoot), and it seems everyone’s going to be up to their old tricks. id almost forgotten about dan’s dustin hoffman moment – this should be interesting. and as GG catches us up, im reminded of how much i do enjoy the silversun pickups (lazy eye !).

and so it begins

btw, the dorota webisodes look abs hilar.

can’t hardly wait.

god, yes. oh god, yes.

it’s amazing how vulnerable leighton can make blair seem at times.

wonder who ruffled her feathers this time

what would one do without a Dorota?

happy now, e.whit?
