Uhhhhh so, sometime around NIGHTTIME yesterNIGHT the world got word that Mayor Bloomberg, mayor of Gossip Girl City, declared yesterday “Gossip Girl Day” in honor of the show’s 100th episode. Obviously this is a huge honor and if you’re listening, Mayor Bloomberg, I definitely don’t care HOW many schools you have to close (all of them?) in order to make maybe every day Gossip Girl day, but YOU HAVE TO GIVE A GIRL SOME WARNING! So she can plan a party! At the Empire Hotel! In some kind of plaque-giving ceremony at Long Island City’s Silvercup Studios, a female intern wrote this for Mayor Bloomberg to say, via Vulture:
“I don’t have a whole lot of time to follow what New York magazine has called ‘The Greatest Teen Drama of our time,’ he said, feigning indifference. “But I am interested in finding out who the real Gossip Girl is–Serena’s cousin, maybe? And I don’t see how Blair could marry Prince Lewis while she is clearly in love with Chuck, although she and Dan became pretty close when they interned at that fashion magazine. And I just wish that Nate and Vanessa had been able to work things out, I guess Nate was preoccupied with everything that was going on with his father and Jenny and, I mean, it was a tangled web, I guess Dan would have ended up making their relationship impossible anyway, but I’m just a casual fan.”
I have so many problems with this, female intern. First of all, NO ONE is interested in finding out who Gossip Girl is. Second of all, what Serena’s cousin are you talking about? Lola, the REAL Charlie, or Ivy, the girl pretending to be Charlie who didn’t even know who any of them were before Serena’s Aunt hired to PRETEND to be Charlie so she could get her inheritance or whatever? Third of all, obviously Blair is not going to end up with the Prince. They literally KILLED A BABY to make sure there’d be no reason for that to happen. Fourth of all, Vanessa was the worst and no one wanted Nate to work it out with her and the fact that she’s not on the show anymore has made it 1000% better. GET ME TO WRITE YOUR BLURB NEXT TIME, YOU DOOFUS. Anyway here are some ideas for how to celebrate Gossip Girl day next January 26, SINCE WE MISSED OUR CHANCE THIS TIME AROUND.
- If you don’t live in New York City already, come to New York City.
- If you are a boy, dress like Chuck Bass. If you are a girl, DO NOT DRESS LIKE SERENA.
- Recreate this shot.
- Get a hotel room at the Empire Hotel, even if you do live in New York City.
- Order every drink on the Gossip Girl drink menu, if that still exists, and drink them all very fast.
- Go to the place in Brooklyn where you can see the apartment they use for the exterior shot of Dan’s apartment.
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- OOOOHH sit on the steps of the Met.
- OH!! Go to Brooklyn Inn! Remember when Chuck almost bought it? Or maybe he did buy it? And Vanessa was mad or something, because of jazz?
- Go to Central Park?
- Have sex with everyone you know.
Ugh, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S A WHOLE YEAR AWAY! At least, for those of you who are out-of-towners, you can get a good price on plane tickets. Let’s make this one for the memory books, guys. MEET BE BACK HERE 1/26/13!
xoxo

this is perfect
if I am to have sex with everyone I know on Gossip Girl day, what do you suggest I do then to make my birthday special?
Pancakes.
With M&Ms!
GAWD I miss everything good by not living in Gossip Girl City!!
I did visit my BFF (hey gurl) in New York this past summer and we did take some Gossip Girl themed photos – Laduree macarons and cheap drinks may have been involved. I regret nothing!
Also, Kelly, how does this list not include eating waffles? What an egregious oversight.
“If you don’t live in New York City already, come to New York City.”
i feel like that’s the advice and general attitude of every New Yorker since about World War I. If Gossip Girl is your tipping point to finally listen to these people, have fun moving to new jersey in 8 years, emotionally and financially broken.
You don’t have to stay. Just come for the day. It’ll be fun!
Yeah f’real, but don’t worry explainer guy, YOU’RE UNINVITED
My wife just caught up on the entire series in the past month or so, and you guys, why didn’t anybody tell me about that show before? It is INSANE. I cannot figure out who the sympathetic character is supposed to be. Is it the “poor” kid whose dad owns an art gallery and used to be a rockstar? Or is it the creep with the stupid hair that dresses like The Joker?
How did she catch up with this season? I’ve only caught up with last season. Hulu? Witchcraft?
Well, I know it wasn’t via means that SOPA and PIPA were meant to curtail, that’s for sure!
Definitely the creep with stupid hair that dresses like The Joker.
You guys definitely want to skip NYC on Law & Order SVU day.
No you don’t, it’s my busiest day
Happy belated Gossip Girl Day, you guys!
Happy belated Gossip Girl Day to you too!
Is this the place where I humblebrag how Vulture RTed me for making fun of this exact shirt?
Happy Birthday by the way! Have some cake!
Wait, this seems aggressive & i actually like you. So enjoy your cake normally
Dan: Just being a normal guy over here, doing normal guy stuff.
Whatever, when I was a lad we celebrated “Danger Bay Day” with a trip to the mall and an iced cold Colt Cola and that was all we needed, thank you very much. I don’t know who these “rumor girls” are but sounds to me like the whipper snappers could use a nine to five job and a haircut if they know whats good fer em.
bring back the recaps so i can justify still watching this ridiculous show!
Who is Prince Lewis? Is he Prince Louis’ evil twin? Is he the one responsible for all of Louis’ douchey schemes (like bribing therapists and accusing his fiance of having an affair via a slideshow at a high profile Spectator party)?
