Gossip Girl: Guerrilla (Fashion) Warfare


Gossip Girl: "There Might Be Blood"

Little J continues her downward (upward?) spiral, Chuck and Blair still have each other's backs, Serena continues her tradition of wearing extremely inappropriate clothing to college interviews, Rufus continues his tradition of being a terrible parent, Nate flip flops on whether it's too smarmy to date a 15-year-old with an unfortunately haircut, and Dan trades his moral code for a letter of recommendation.

Quotes and observations:
  • Jenny's making a whole clothing line in, what, a week? Come on.
  • Nate already forgot about hooking up with the TA at Yale? Geez, boy.
  • Serena is wearing THAT to meet the prominent Yale donors? Not only is the neckline plunging, but it's extremely short too. Oh, at least she's put a jacket on to go outside...
  • What is with Jenny's miniature hat?! And too much makeup! And extremely short dress! This is not her best look.
  • Ick! The donors' daughter is a little hussy!
  • A guerrilla fashion show?! Do those really exist?
  • Is Agnes going to model all of the dresses? One at a time? That could take days.
  • Blair: "I'm not losing Yale because of that little tart's libido!"
  • It's kind of fun watching Blair look like she's in hell.
  • Chuck: "Looks like you've just hooked yourself a Bass."
  • Oh, Blair should know better than letting Emma run around the house when Chuck's lurking.
  • Can Nate drive?! I've never seen any of these people drive.
  • How does this artsy geek (Aaron) have so many girls? I must be missing something, because I don't get it at all.
  • Chuck: "Let's not ruin it with you talking."
  • I love Blair's dress (as usual).
  • It's nice that Chuck still does whatever Blair wants when she snaps her fingers in his face.
  • Blair: "EEW!" (Taking a page out of Summer Roberts' book there.)
  • The look of relief on Blair's face when she got the money shot of the donor lady having an affair was hilarious. Luckily, B knows how to blackmail people like she knows the back of her hand.
  • Why are Rufus/Dan/Vanessa acting like Jenny's about to hold up a bank?! She's having a fashion show. Why do they seem to think this is wildly illegal? Does everyone besides me know that guerrilla fashion shows are a Class A felony or something?
  • Rufus: "You've got to be kidding me?! You're letting the Mr. Softy truck pass us!"
  • Blair: "Thank you, God, so much! I won't let You down!"
  • Wow, Dan called Nate out for kissing his "15-year-old sister."
  • Nate: "Don't act like I'm some creepy older guy."
    Dan: "No, you're the guy who traded sex for money!"
  • Blair and Chuck's reactions to seeing (naked) Serg.
  • Jenny's dress is waaaaaaaay too short. I guess she ran out of time when she was making that one and had to stop when it was half finished.
  • Jenny's ad campaign photos look very Marc Jacobs, and her dresses look like a cross between Kenley from Project Runway and Alexander McQueen.
  • At least Agnes did find some other models to help with the fashion show.
  • The people at this event are amused by these shenanigans? Or at least don't find this whole thing to be completely ridiculous? Vanessa and Lily were especially quick converts.
  • Just let Vanessa and her yellow boots walk away, Jenny.
  • So what did Chuck have to do to get Gossip Girl to post the fake story? I suppose it could involve money, but my early Chuck-is-Gossip-Girl theory is making a comeback.
  • "Muffy the lacrosstitute"
  • Emma: "Was your first time with someone you loved?"
    Blair: "Yes, it was."
  • Lady donor to her daughter: "You're lecturing me? No wonder I don't to spend time with you!"
  • Gossip Girl: "Poor Jenny. All that glamour almost led to the slammer."
  • Eew. Serena's showing so much cleavage for just hanging out with Blair. Is that even a dress, or is it lingerie?
  • Blair: "Princeton is a trade school."
  • Ugh, Dan's trading in his moral code and selling out Chuck. Boooo.
  • Rufus hadn't bothered to even check to see if Jenny was in her freaking room?! Worst. Dad. Ever.
  • Where does Jenny think she's going?
  • Next week: If some (reputable) publication wants an expose on Bass Industries, why would they hire a high schooler to write it? Especially a high schooler named Dan Humphrey.
