Spotted! Halloween Edition!
November 3rd, 2008
S and B at Isabel Coates’ Halloween party. S was dressed as Alex from Flashdance while B was Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina. S wore a big, brown, curly wig, an off the shoulder sweatshirt and leggings. B had her hair back with a puffy black dress. Both girls looked their parts and both looked fab, obviously. FYI: Penelope and Hazel were dressed as Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, respectively. Nelly Yuki was Joan of Arc and Isabel was Barbra Streisand in A Star Is Born. Also spotted: D and N at the New York’s Village Halloween Parade. Both were wearing suits. N had on glasses. I think D and N were Michael and Dwight from The Office, respectively. Who would have thought? J and V were also at the Parade but not with the boys (hmm, wonder why?). J was Anna Wintour and V was Sally Bowles from Cabaret. The girls looked awesome. How did you celebrate Halloween?

С и Б на Хелоуинското парти на Изабел Коутс [става въпрос за това момиче]. С беше облечена като Алекс [снимка] от "Flashdance" [IMDb], докато Б беше Одри Хепбърн [снимка] от "Sabrina" [IMDb]. С носеше голяма, кафява, къдрава перука, суичър с разголени рамена и клин до глезените. Б си беше прибрала косата назад и беше облечена с издута черна рокля. И двете момичета изглеждаха правдоподобно, и бяха чудесни, очевидно. За ваша информация: Пенелопе и Хейзел бяха облечени като Линдзи Лоън [снимка] и Саманта Ронсън [снимка; с която, между другото, Линдзи има връзка - снимка 1, снимка 2], съответно. Нели Йаки беше Жана д'Арк [снимка; IMDb], а Изабел беше Барбара Стрейзанд [снимка] в "A Star Is Born" [IMDb]. Също забелязани: Д и Н на "Нюйоркския Селски Хелоуински Парад" [официален сайт]. И двамата бяха облечени с костюми. Н носеше очила. Мисля, че Д и Н бяха Майкъл [снимка] и Дуайт [снимка] от "The Office" [IMDb], съответно. Кой би си го помислил? Джей и В също бяха на парада, но не с момчетата (хмм, чудя се защо ли?). Джей беше Анна Уинтур [снимка] , а В беше Сали Боулс [снимка] от "Cabaret" [IMDb]. Момичетата изглеждаха зашеметяващо. Вие как отпразнувахте Хелоуин?

Little J: Ain’t So Little Anymore
November 4th, 2008

If you were to tell me last year that Jenny Humphrey would crash a society event with a guerrilla fashion show I’d tell you that you were crazy. Insane. Mad. However, that is exactly what happened this week. WTF? Looks like Little Jenny Humphrey ain’t so little anymore. Wow.
Since quitting Eleanor’s, Jenny needed a backup plan. She couldn’t just be a homeschooled loser. Jenny had left school for a reason and she needed to achieve fashion glory if she ever wanted to prove herself. With the help of her model friend, Agnes, Jenny came up with the idea to hold a fashion show showcasing her designs. The only thing was that the venue hosting the show didn’t know Jenny was planning on presenting there. Jenny was going to crash the New York Philanthropic Society Gala at The Palace Hotel with her band of guerilla models. She needed backers and what’s a better place than a party with the richest, most well connected people in New York? This was going to put Jenny on the map. Move over, Eleanor. There’s a new fashion queen in town.
Unfortunately, Dan stood in Jenny’s way. When Dan and Nate found Jenny with all her clothes ready to go to the fashion show, she was busted. Where the hell was she going? Dan made Jenny tell him everything. He was shocked that she quit Eleanor’s. Jenny promised him she would tell their dad once the fashion show was over. She had to do this. Dan didn’t know what to do. What if Jenny was making a hug life altering mistake? Dan was utterly torn. Oh, brother.
But Dan was dumb and shouldn’t have left his wild sister unsupervised. While he was thinking about how to help Jenny, she was off loading the van getting ready to go. Nate tried to stop Jenny from doing this, but she didn’t understand why it mattered to him. The two had barely spoken since the hot kiss the week before. Jenny was convinced Nate didn’t like her and that the kiss was just a one time thing. But Nate was being weird and acting as though he really cared. Jenny told him if she actually mattered to him then Nate should prove it. And he did. He would drive her to the show. Unfortunately Dan, Rufus and Vanessa all stepped outside to see the van take off with Nate driving and Jenny in the passenger seat. What the hell?
Jenny wasn’t letting anything get in her way. She was determined to pull this fashion show off. But when Jenny arrived at The Palace, she was in for a big shock. No, her dad, Dan and Vanessa were nowhere to be seen. Instead Jenny saw who the gala was honoring: Bart and Lily Bass. How could Jenny ruin an event for people who’ve been nothing but nice to her? Jenny started panicking and even had to lie to Lily about why she was there. Luckily, Nate swooped in and saved the day (looking so effing hot in his tux!). Jenny started having second thoughts. She couldn’t justify ruining Bart and Lily’s night. As Jenny continued to ramble, Nate decided to shut her up. By kissing her. Passionately. In front of all the Gala-goers. Including a loyal reader of this site who took a pic and sent my way (thanks WannabeSerena97!) Guess Nate didn’t regret the kiss from the week before. Hotness! This was going to be the best night ever!
Well, maybe. Dan, Rufus and Vanessa were worried about Jenny. Where was she going? And why was Nate driving? Dan decided to look on Gossip Girl for clues. And sure enough he found one. He saw the picture of Nate and Jenny kissing at the gala. Now he not only knew where Jenny was, but he also knew Nate, his supposed friend, was putting the moves on his little sister. Gross.
Dan, Rufus and Vanessa rushed to the The Palace to get to Jenny. When they arrived there, Jenny was MIA. But Dan did find Nate and, man, was he majorly pissed off. Dan pushed Nate against the wall and started yelling at him. He had let Nate into his house, made him a part of his family and he repaid him by making out with his fifteen year old sister? Nate apologized. It really wasn’t that bad. But then Dan reminded him how Nate had exchanged sex for money (remember with Catherine?). Nasty. Dan told him to get out of the house. Their little bromance was over. Nate’s time as a Humphrey was done.

The gala had started and Jenny and Agnes were ready. While Bart and Lily were being honored, the lights went down abruptly. The New York Socialites were stunned by what was going on. Was there a power outage? Technical difficulty? Suddenly, music started blasting (“Sheena is a Punk Rocker” by Thurston Moore and Jemina Pearl) and models wearing Jenny’s designs entered the room like they were walking a runway. With handheld flashlights lighting them, they strutted their stuff. Jenny’s designs were on display for all to see. And they were really, really good! The models threw out Polaroid pictures with Jenny’s contact info on it. Agnes came out for the last outfit and totally rocked it. People were surprisingly really into it! They were cheering and clapping. Jenny was a success. And who did she want to share the success with? Why, Nate, of course. She ran off the stage and gave him a huge kiss. Too bad, Vanessa saw it all. What the hell was Jenny doing making out with the guy she used to make out with? Vanessa left in a rush and Jenny went after her. Jenny, that’s like the number one rule of feminism: no kissing your friends’ exes. Geez.
Jenny searched for Vanessa but couldn’t find her. Instead she found an incredibly mad Rufus. He had seen it all and was so disappointed. Jenny couldn’t just go through life not caring who she hurt. But Jenny could care less. She was proud of herself. Plus she already had 32 missed calls on her cell from people who liked her designs. Lily approached them and Rufus made Jenny apologize for ruining the night. Jenny did so but Lily didn’t even mind. She loved the fashion show! Rufus was still angry. So angry, in fact, he told a cop nearby that it was Jenny who was responsible for crashing the party. The cop was going to have to arrest her! Jenny was beyond startled. What the hell was her dad doing? Lily stepped in and said it was her party and her husband owned the hotel. They wouldn’t be pressing charges. Thank God. Jenny would so not look good in an orange jumpsuit. But really, Jenny almost had her dad get her arrested. Now that’s badass!

All the while, Blair was still dead set on going to Yale. She and Serena met with Mrs. Boardman, a personal friend of Dean Berube and whose husband was a trustee at the college. Mrs. Boardman was obviously not really interested in Blair. She was all about hearing what Serena had to say. When Mrs. Boardman said she was going out for the evening and leaving her teenage daughter alone in the hotel room, Serena jumped in. Maybe Blair could show her around? Mrs. Boardman thought that was an excellent idea. Mrs. Boardman called her teenage daughter, Emma, out. Emma seemed innocent enough. Blair could take her to see High School Musical 3 or something. Easy stuff.
But too bad, Emma Boardman was less Hannah Montana and more Miley Cyrus. She had no interest in a movie. Instead, she wanted to lose her virginity. Blair was horrified. Who was this demon child standing in front of her? Emma told Blair that her classmate Muffy McDonough was planning on losing her virginity that night and if Emma wanted to compete she needed to lose it too. Ugh, gross (girls, do not try this at home). Emma also said that Dean Berube was like an uncle to her. If Blair stepped in her way she’d tell him only negative things. Blair was livid at Serena for putting her up for this job. It was a lose-lose situation. Serena suggested Blair taking Emma to the NY Philanthropic Society gala. Good idea! Why get deflowered by a dirty Manhattan hipster when you could get wined and dined by a rich Manhattan socialite? Emma was excited to find out she would be surrounded by the cream of the crop of New York high society. But then Chuck Bass had to ruin it. He told Emma the gala was going to be full of old people. Emma was disgusted. Maybe Chuck could take her to a different party? Possibly a party for two? Chuck liked that idea. Ugh oh.
Blair was flipping out. Not only was Emma missing but she was also with Chuck Bass. Bad news. I put out an APB for them on the site: “Paging UES. Have you seen Chuck Bass and his latest victim?” But Chuck returned home. Sans Emma. He said Emma assaulted him. And besides, he wasn’t interested in taking Emma’s virginity. Turned out, the back of Chuck’s limo was actually sacred (awwww!!). Serena received a text from Isabel saying an E. Boardman just used her credit card at 10ak. Blair, Serena and Chuck rushed off in a search to find Lolita.
And they found her. Hanging with some guy named Serge. Yes, Serge. But when Blair tried to confront Emma she lost her in a sea of partygoers. Ugh, that vixen was fast! What was Blair going to do? Luckily, she found something better than Emma. She found Emma’s mom also at 1Oak. Making out with a guy who was definitely not her husband. Blair quickly took a picture with her phone. This was a gift sent from God. Blair had blackmail worthy evidence she could use to her advantage. Ah, Yale seemed so close.
Though, they still needed to find Emma before she made the biggest mistake of her life. Chuck found out who Serge was and took Blair to his apartment. Blair pounded on the door for Emma to open up, but she wouldn’t do it. Chuck told her to get on her phone and read Gossip Girl. There, in all its glory, was a story about Muffy getting her muffin stuffed. Emma was horrified. Muffy had won. Turned out the story was false, but as you know I need to print everything I get. Be warned NYCers: Don’t do this again. Only send me true items. This is Gossip Girl not The National Enquirer. Anyway, Blair thanked Chuck. He said he’d do anything for her (awww again!).
Blair went to talk to an upset Emma. Emma went off on how she can never win anything; not her mother’s attention, this competition with Muffy. Blair told her losing her virginity shouldn’t be part of some game. It should be with someone special. Emma asked Blair if she lost it to someone she loved. Blair said she did (omg!!). Then, Blair said she knew all about distracted, self-centered mothers. She could write the book on it. But it wasn’t about what Blair or Emma could do or couldn’t do. It was about their mothers. Emma realized this and was thankful for Blair’s help that night. The girls went upstairs to the hotel room and Mrs. Boardman was angrily awaiting them. How dare Blair keep her young daughter out so late? Blair was obviously not Yale material. Blair laughed. Oh yeah? She began taking out her phone to show Mrs. Boardman the incriminating evidence she had on her. Emma tried to reason with her mother. It wasn’t Blair’s fault. That’s when Mrs. Boardman let Emma have it. She told Emma it was no wonder she never wanted to spend time with her. Blair was appalled. How could a mother talk to her daughter like that? The little angel on Blair’s shoulder talked her out of showing the picture to Mrs. Boardman. Instead, Blair told her how great her daughter was. She should pay more attention to her before it’s too late. Blair chose doing what was right over a scheme? Now that’s something new.
Meanwhile, Serena was being courted by Aaron Rose. Well, kind of. He sent her the licorice ring from their summer camp wedding. So nice. But Serena didn’t like that Aaron had a harem of girls around him all the time. Aaron couldn’t really explain it. Though, he said if Serena really felt something between the two of them then she owed it to herself to try it out. Aaron couldn’t stop thinking about her since he first saw her again. Maybe fate brought them together? Cuute. I’m getting a toothache by how sweet this all is!
Also, Dan was having a major moral dilemma. Jordan, the TA from Yale, couldn’t get a recommendation for him. This meant Yale wasn’t looking good for Dan. He decided he needed to get dirty if he ever wanted to get into his dream college. Dan contacted Noah Shapiro and told him he would send him the Charlie Trout story (aka the one about Chuck Bass!). Rufus was upset about this. He wished he could make Dan and Jenny understand that success goes away. And when that day comes if you don’t like who you are, then you’re done. Dan didn’t seem to care. He’d take the chance. Poor Rufus. Both of his kids disobeying him? Where’d he go wrong?
Looked like Blair’s night of babysitting turned into the best night of her life. Dean Berube called her the next morning and told her Emma had spoken to him about Blair. Emma chose Blair as the one person, living or dead, she’d want to have dinner with! The Dean said Yale could really use a girl like Blair!! Yay for B! At least someone had a happy ending this week.
Ah, so many crazy things happening. It’s almost too much to handle! Nate moved out of the Humphrey loft and was on his way out of the BK. But before he skipped town, Nate dropped a letter to Jenny in the mail. I am just DYING to find out what it says. Too bad, Jenny might never get the letter. Because she too was out of the Humphrey loft. Now not only was Jenny a high school dropout, but she was also a runaway. Eek. Talk about a downgrade. What’s in store for J? We’re almost too scared to ask. Xoxo Gossip Girl
