Gossip Girl 'The Princesses and the Frog' Episode and Fashion Recap




Let me just start this by saying that there isn't anything much better than a broody, unshaven Chuck Bass. Except the version that crashes a royal party to tell a princess that he is Chuck Bass, love of Blair Waldorf's life, okay? Just in case anyone has forgotten. For the first time in a long time I feel like Chuck is getting back where he needs to be. We spent too much time with him swooning over Eva and Raina--really?--and now Blair gets one date and he's all bent out of shape. I think Chuck needs to learn his lesson and learn it well. Hopefully this latest downward spiral will do the trick.

As for the whole Raina thing, I could care less. I kind of hate her. And Nate? What a loser. I mean he actually called Raina to tell her that he chooses her? Especially when he can plainly see how much his best friend needs him? Barf. Although Nate have that one particularly good line...

“It’s four o’clock. Smoking jacket hours, why are you still in your robe?”

Classic.



We all know that this Blair-Louis thing isn't going to last but I enjoyed watching Blair be happy for an episode. It seems like she really is trying to change and choose happiness in her life rather than a lot of the darkness that made up her time with Chuck. I think it's good for her and will help when she eventually reunites with Chuck, which we all know she will.

Jeggings - Vince

As for Serena? On a good day this character is useless. Well, only useful for how great she fills out her clothes. But this episode? Downright hateful and annoying. Seriously.

What. A. Bitch.

Jeans - J Brand
Ring - ABS

Darota was entertaining as always and Charlie is now consistently creepy. I almost felt bad for Vanessa. Dan seriously needs to get the hell away from the crazy cousin  before she starts boiling bunnies and all that. We're headed in that direction for sure.

Another highlight: When Dan called his dad "Jeeves." And Rufus totally acknowledged that he was Lily's butler. Oh, and Darota saying Vanya would go all Eastern European on the Prince. I gotta get me a Darota.
