fembuckThoughts on Bonfire of the Vanity ...
In other news, TWILIGHT has invaded my tv. I must have seen commericials for it about four times during Gossip Girl. "Say it out loud" "Vampire". AHHHH, stop the insanity (or at least thrown a little Alice in!)
Also, more in other news ... I'm so sad that I don't have HBO and won't be able to see True Blood until tomorrow. I want my Pam ... and Michelle Forbes is on this episode! Making me wait for Pam and Michelle Forbes is just cru-elllllllle.
Oh, and in other more news ... I just realized that Willa Holland looks kinda like Caroline Dhavernas (a.k.a. Jaye Tyler from Wonderfalls). This probably accounts for part of the reason I think she's so awesome.
Um, I got one more thing ... Garfield minus Garfield, check it out. It is pure brilliance.
What is it: Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.
Blair: Serena, a guy starts out in his blue period and everything's great, but it's only so long 'til he's all into cubism and it's some other girls eye coming out of his forehead.
LOL
Blake cannot contain her smittenness. The goofy smile on her face as she said "Good girl" and the adoration with which she watched Blair walked after after convincing her to be a sophisticated lady like Grace Kelly was golden. A golden statue of gayosity.
I wanted to hug CHUCK so much when his Dad ignored those hockey tickets he tried to give him for the Bass Industries 20th anniversary.
Agnes: Would you lower your voice. Your high-pitched thrill is not helping my morning.
Agnes: Who are you ... my mother?
Agnes's irritation with Jenny in this scene was hilarious. Willa's facial expressions were priceless, not to mention she looked cute as a button in her floppy hat and hangover sunglasses. I mean, I would hate to know someone like her, but it amuses me to watch her. I like Willa does bitch!face perfectly (Yes, even better than KStew)
I'm sad to see Jennes implode so soon though. I wanted Willa Holland on my screen for as long as possible.
Blair: I am Grace Kelly, Grace Kelly is me.
Blair rocks my world. The way she stuck her ass in Isabel's face and wiggled until she made space for Blair to sit next to Serena was love. The fact that she then draped herself against Serena's side, and STARTED TO PET HER HAIR. Serena slapping Blair lightly after the "So Pablo has already moved on" comment, was great.
They totally, totally come off like a couple. They are TOO comfortable with each other. I will never buy them being in love with anyone else.
Also, the look Blair gave Nelly Yuki, when Nelly Yuki dared to speak to Serena and the BEST though. You could practically hear Blair screaming, "SERENA IS MINE, STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU, BISH!" Also, I think it's sweet that Blair was taking fashion tips from Serena, and sharing her breastesses to the world.
And now, for the amazing adventures of Pyroness (or maybe Burns Dresses Woman in the spirit of Burnt Face Man - which is hilarious ... heh, "CRIME IS A SHIT THAT NEEDS WIPING UP!", "Are you a crime-in-al, a criminal?")
Agnes was channeling all sorts of Georgina-esque crazy in that bonfire scene. I feel bad thinking that she was sexy as hell doing her best 'young Bellatrix Lestrange' impersonation, but it's true so ... whatev! I felt bad for Jenny getting her dresses burned, but she shouldn't have gone behind Agnes's back. Was Agnes being unprofessional, yes. But Jenny knew what Agnes was like before going into business with her, and Agnes did do all of the leg work, and Jenny shouldn't have tried to cut her out of the business because she was pissed at her.
Blair's hysterical "Cyndi Lauper!" was the best, Dorota's stoned with happiness face in the background while Blair and Cyndi were talking only made it that much better. Dorota is so awesome, I love her (and I love that we're getting more of her this season). Dorota and Blair at the beginning discussing the china was also mint.
Blair: I wanted a Harry Winston cocker for my birthday, instead I got a conscious.
Blair: Well done.
Cyrus: Not enough.
Blair: Fine, you're a genius.
Leighton's face when she delivered those line, was perfection. In fact that whole scene by the cab with Wallace Shawn was
perfection. He and Leighton have great chemistry, I hope we get to see some hilarious Waldorf-Rose family scenes in cupcoming episodes
The only decent thing Dan has ever done is give that story to Bart Bass. Well that, and encourage Rufus to go get Jenny back.
Somebody call Chris Hanson!!! That Smith guy was looking like a major creeper when he told Jenny about becoming emancipated.
Serena: You know I always wanted to grow up in the 60s.
Blair: You believe in long hair, peasant skirts and sandles, but you want an open relationship? I don't think so.
Blair describing Serena is always the best ever.
Serena just honestly sucks as a character when Blair isn't around. She really, just isn't at all interesting without Blair (or Lily around).
LOL
