Oh No, She Didn’t!

Spotted: Serena in an Elf suit.
Oh my effing God, what is Serena wearing? She looks like she is missing some pointy ears, suede boots and a bow. I suppose I know nothing of New York “run-a-way” fashion, but seriously, the Elf look is so retro these days.
Of late, I’ve been immersed in Gossip Girl drama, mostly out of respite from Lost, Dexter and quite possibly even Mad Men. I caught up on GG Season One promptly after having had heard about this show from a friend and was hooked. Nearly as good as Laguna Beach circa Season 1, but not as good as The O.C., I was left with the impression that this show could be as trashy and vindictive a show as its California counterparts.
Season 1 was good, up until a point. I knew they could only recycle the already tired story of on-again, off-again lusting of awkward-boy Humphrey and the delicate diva Serena. But they started losing my attention when everyone– and I mean everyone — started having sex on the show. Upper East New York turned into a snooze town of harlots and wanna-bes.
Come on guys, start injecting more of that pseudo-reality TV spunk that LB had. I mean, really. Does anyone even seriously believe The Hills is truly nonfiction?
Season 2 is on its way with its 5th boring episode and still nothing to show for it. What this show could use is more diversity. The token Asian girl is a stereo-typical nerd that listens to Flo Rida. How cliche! Throw a few more Southeast Asians in the mix, and you can guarantee that comedy will ensue. Hey producers! Pony up for a cameo appearance by John Cho! Nothing makes for real entertainment like a few Koreans.
