OMG! Do I love Gossip Girl? The novels, and now the show.
Gossip Girl is a series of novels written for teenagers, (and women over 30) by Cecily von Ziegesar. Gossip Girl is also the narrator, and the title of the first novel in the series.
It has also been adapted into a TV series airing on The CW. GG airs tonight after a hiatus due to the writer’s strike.
This series revolves around a group of teenagers, three of whom live on the Upper East Side in, Manhattan.
I like to think of myself as trendy and hip, although not as cool as the Goosip Girls and boys.
The show allows me to live vicariously through rich privileged Upper East Side teenagers. I think of it as an entrance to a world of the over-the-top rich spoiled superficial tweens and teensagers.
“The show mocks our superficial fantasies while satisfying them, allowing us to partake in the over-the-top pleasures of the irresponsible superrich without anxiety or guilt or moralizing.” NY Mag. Yes, that’s it.
Gossip Girl is the 2008 version of Sex in The City, which was the
1990’s version of The Golden Girls, BFFs.
