The Goodbye of Gossip Girl XOXO

GossipGirl2006

Have you been a die-hard Gossip Girl fan from the beginning? When Dan first laid eyes on Serena at the train station, when Blair realized Serena was with Nate behind her back, when Jenny hardly wore any make-up, when whats-her-face Vanessa still existed?! They were so young 6 years ago, and we grew up along with them.

Gossip Girl Cast young

I can’t decide what I am going to be missing the most, the magnetic chemistry of Chuck and Blair, Serena’s fashion, Dan’s jaw line and ever changing hairstyle, or all the surprise guest appearances by people from Rachel Zoe to Florence and The Machine…

If you haven’t watched the GG finale yet stop here, SPOILER ALERT!

What did you think of the finale? Was it every thing you had hoped for? I kinda wished that it was a full 2 hour episode. Even though it was lovely to see the cast chat about their characters, and hear to Ed Westwick talk in his real voice, 2 hours would have been nice. But I’ll take what I can get.

Did you predict who Gossip Girl was? My money was on Jenny, but Dan totally makes sense. Dan is the writer and all! And what did we think of TWO weddings within one hour? I must say, Chuck and Blair didn’t hold a candle to Dan and Serena; FOR ONCE!

Chuck with Son

Not sure how I feel about Chuck and Blair having a little 4-year-old running around, (did you picture them having kids?) seeing Jack and Georgina get cozy, and realizing that it took Dan and Serena that long to tie the knot. The “cutsy” happily ever after ending took me a bit off guard. I mean, I’m glad they wrapped everything up in a nice little bow, but what’s Gossip Girl without a little shock and drama?

Chuck and Blair Wedding

Did anyone else think that kiss was a little weak for Chuck and Blair? Also, NO ONE should wear a baby blue and white tux. Not even Chuck. However, Blair looked absolutely stunning in Elie Saab!

Dan and Serena

Now Dan, when he entered the room in that killer suit with his hair slicked back, WOW. Than Serena, in typical fashion, comes out in a borderline “too flashy” wedding dress; another WOW. Did anyone else think it’s a little bitter-sweet these two aren’t together in real life anymore? (Not that I’m not happy for Blake and Ryan)

So now I’m not sure what is going to fill my Monday night with teen drama? I feel the need to clarify, I am no longer a teenager but something about this New York fantasy world of drama has always appealed to me. (Sex in the City anyone?) I’m trying the show Revenge on for size; the Hampton’s are close to New York right? I’m curious what Carrie Diaries is going to be like. The trailers look terrible, I’m going to hope it’s not!

Will you too be grieving the loss of Gossip Girl? What will you miss the most? Who will you miss the most?

XOXO Gossip Girl

People’s Sexiest Man Alive Predictions

11/11/2012

Leave a comment

Rumours are swirling around the net saying this year People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive is going to be everyone’s favorite stripper, Channing Tatum. I get it, Magic Mike (and 21 Jump Street) was a huge success for him this year. He’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I GET it. Have you seen him dance?! Not only that, but also seems like a very down-to-earth guy that isn’t afraid to make fun of himself. Major bonus points for that!

Who else would you add to this years sexiest men? Usually the men on the list are on it due to a popularity contest, and not just based on looks. Here are a few of my predictions this year:

With the success of Looper and The Dark Night Rises, there is no way Joseph Gordon-Levitt wont make the cut.

The Hemsworth brothers had great successes this year. Liam in the smash hit Hunger Games, and Chris with Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Mark Wahlberg can pretty much always make the list. He keeps pumping out hit comedies like Ted, and action movies like Contraband, this wont be the end of Marky-Mark any time soon!

Do you recognize this face? You might not, since in Tom Hardy’s biggest hit this year he was wearing a mask playing Bane in The Dark Night Rises. He also starred in a the western hit Lawless, where his chemistry with Jessica Chastain was magnetic! Tom is just starting his way into MAJOR stardom. (BTW- if you haven’t seen him in Bronson, and you’re OK with a little violence you must watch it. Brilliant acting!)

Robert Downey Jr. keeps pumping out huge hits such as The Avengers and Sherlock Holmes, which means we can guarantee to see him in the pages of People. Pretty sure he hasn’t left the list since the ’80′s!

After wooing all the ladies with his a capella abilities in the comedy Pitch Perfect, up-and-comer Skylar Astin is sure to make the list.

Because what girl doesn’t secretly wish she had a run in with James Bond? Skyfall was just released and it is rumoured to be Daniel Craig’s best performance as Bond yet!

It wouldn’t be a Sexiest Man List without finishing it off with some Ryan Gosling. It’s mandatory.

Who would you vote to be People’s Sexiest Men Alive?

Song Of The Day: Florence + The Machine- Only If For A Night

If you are about to listen on your computer, crank the speakers! Or better yet, plug into great sounding speakers…this song is meant to listen to loud and on surround sound!

I’m getting pumped to see Florence + The Machine this Friday at Deer Lake Park!! I saw her before she got super popular at a much smaller venue, and she was AMAZING! If you get the chance, go see her. Worth every penny. She has once of those voices that on a recording you can’t even get the full emotion, it has so much more impact live. It will give you chills…enjoy the song!

Song of the day: Generals by The Mynabirds

I’ve always had a thing for chick fronted bands, and The Mynabirds do not disappoint! They just released their new album, and the title track is amazing! Check it out:

Feeling a little ’60′s today

I saw this CD at Starbucks yesterday and it reminded me how much I love the 1960′s and I love the French! So the rest of the post today will be some inspiration for you. Ahh…Paris!

 

 

If this post has inspired you to add a little French to your life, feel free to listen to this playlist I’ve made on Grooveshark.


J'aime Paris en 1960

Another Gossiper can sing.

I’m beginning to wonder which cast member of Gossip Girl can’t sing?! (Leighton Meester attempted a solo career, Taylor Momsen in her band The Pretty Reckless and Ed Westwick has a band called Filthy Youth.) Everyone on the show seems to be on the verge of a budding music career. I guess they always have something to fall back on if the show ever goes down the drain. (lets hope not!)

The next cast member I am going to gush about is Penn Badgley since Dan a little bit of a guilty pleasure. I have always had a soft spot for his character. There I said it. The most boring character from last season still is one of my faves. Wait- Vanessa is the boring-ist!

This video is of Penn Badgley looking extra dapper on the set of a photo shoot for Bullett Magazine. Around the 2:00 min mark you can hear his soulful vocals. Who knew? Could he be in the front running as the most talented singer from Gossip Girl?

Celeb Style Inspiration- Sienna Miller

07/01/2010

Ever since watching the movie Alfie, which has  Sienna Miller starring alongside Jude Law, I was memorized by her and her taste in fashion. She had this bohemian/rocker/girly style down to a T. Alfie is such a great movie with brilliant mens and womens wardrobe styling. Then she wen to go on and do Factory Girl, where she goes on to play Andy Warhol’s muse and 60′s “it girl” Edie Sedgwick.  I’ve always secretly wished I lived through the 60′s…so I tried to live vicariously through her in that movie too. Sienna Miller has also has success as a fashion designer along side her sister with their line Twenty8Twelve. So needless to say, whenever I see gossip mags with her in it I’m always checking out her latest looks. Who is your celebrity style inspiration?

Here is the trailer from Alfie:

Here is Factory Girl:

Honorable mention to some other great fashion inspirations are: Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, and Rachel Bilson.

Oh Sandra…

Sandra- I love you to bits. Your one of my faves for sure, but sometimes I wonder if you really do have a stylist? I know you seem  more like the jeans and t-shirts kinda gal, but with awards season going on and you nominated a ton for The Blind Side, (which was awesome btw) please just take a second look in the mirror before you head out in this:

The only plus of this outfit is her shoes. They rock. But the dress, is it vintage 1993?  The skirt isn’t too flattering in her curvy figure and the sashes on the arms are just weird. All I can look at is her shoulders–which I guess is good because then I don’t notice the horrible embroidery on the waist….Sandra I know you can do better!!! I’ve seen it! Check this out:

Now this is what I call a dress. 10+ from me. Everything about this is just stunning. The color, she shape, her hair…top notch for sure.  And not to mention her makeup-I wish I had her dewy skin! We’d like to see more of THIS look Sandra…Lets wait and see what she has in store for The Oscars on March 7, 2010.

All Hail Heath!

Well, award season is upon us and we have a winner!!

Heath Leger won for best supporting dramatic actor in The Dark Knight. He was brilliant and definitely deserved it. Dark Knight director Chris Nolan accepted the award on Heath’s behalf.
