Shawn Wallace makes 5 years of Gossip Girl worth it!

Blaire, the Brunette stroppy one, is somehow marrying a Grimaldi, y'know those Monarchs from Monaco... But Blaire walks into the room, antechamber to a practical mansion, and her step father played by the inconceivable Shawn "Grand Nagus Zek" Wallace says...

"LOOK! IT'S THE PRINCESS BRIDE!"
 
Taylor Momsen is the only reason I gave a thought to this series...other than Michelle Trachtenberg and Kristen Bell. :p
 
It's been a couple days and no one seems to care or should care, but they finally gave Gossip Girl a face.

Rather than just Kristen bell as the nebulous narrator, mocking all from the shadows, they've completely changed gear in how the nature of "Gossip Girl" is presented.

It's Dawny.

Although, as far as 100th episode spectacles go, I'm assuming that the big reveal was a fake out.

That's a nice Gallery Holdfast. :)
 
The character does wish in her heart or hearts that it was still 1958 in the most important ways.

I wonder how she would get along with Neil Caffrey's wardrobe from White Collar?

Talk about Arrested development.

Yeah, I suppose they had to at some point. But I doubt it's a good idea.

I do love how her look is always so tailored.

Blair Waldorf dresses like my ideal woman. No joke. She always has this wonderfully put-together look that's actually a terrible pastiche verging on playing dress-up. But it's done in such a deliberately aware way, that it goes beyond that and becomes charming again. It's naive, but at the same time, knowingly so.

Hearts? What is she, Gallifreyan?

But yes, you're right. She has this deep inner fantasy of what a woman's life should/can be like that is very incongruous with the time she lives in. It definitely feeds into what she wears, too.

Anyway, moar pics:


 
Heart OF hearts.

(Which doesn't sound much better.)

I'm always mixing my ors and ofs up.

Stupid fat fingers.

She wants to be Grace Kelly, unfortunately, now that she's a niece by marriage, young Blaire can never again mention or reference that icons film career without seeming "common".
 
I haven't actually watched since early first season, so I can't speak to the character. I do look at stills from the show though, like pics from the wedding.
 
^ I don't watch it regularly but drop in every now and then to see what they're wearing. That's easily the most engaging part of the show.

Having said that, their wardrobe department is very good at letting the characters wear their hearts on their sleeves. Or, when the story demands it, using clothes to hide what their heart is feeling. This is especially so with Blair.

OK, that makes sense! :D

I never thought of it that way, but damn, yes!

5 years of gossip girl, a couple movies and 2 episodes of House where she jail baitedly tried to shag him, I think Leyton looks like herself, unless you've been living under a rock.

You've been wasting your life watching sports haven't you?

Whoa, it's normal to make comparisons. What's with the hostility? I can see a slight resemblance myself.
 
I assure you, that's not hostility.

It's more a question of her celebrity, that after half a decade the great unwashed still don't know her name or face as distinctly her own.

Comparisons are for entry level starlets on their first day off the bus cruising Santa Monica Boulevard for a white van full of drop out film students with camcorders.

I'm sad for Leighton.

Poor girl.

Sports however, can eat me.
