The Princess Dowry - Part 2 of 2 - The Frenemies
Friday, March 2, 2012 at 11:29AM Carla Borderies - Staff Writer I loved how the happy old couple "unhappy, friendless, young couple who stays inside blogging about other people's lives" decided to go all matchy-matchy and wear gray sweaters with big collars.
It was almost as though they loved each other for a fraction of a second and Georgina wasn't in it for his money. But no, he really is rich and stupid and she knows it.
Because look who's headed to Cece's Secret Wake looking better than anyone else (except for Lily).
Party crashers are always the ones who look the best.
I was halfway between smiling and crying when I saw this. I can't actually tell whether I like it or not. It's very original, and it somehow suits Georgina in a weird way...I guess if you're going to crash the party with evil gossip plans, you may as well dress like a fabulous Bond villian.
Awwwww this makes me so happy! And Lola just looks so good in his pjs...
This makes me too happy.
Ahhh!! It's like a fall/winter lookbook! Lola's coat is stunning, and she matches it perfectly in autumn colors with her high-helled boots, scarf, and leather gloves. Let's not forget her leather bag. As usual, Nate by himself would be boring, but paired with Lola? They are phenomena and pretty together!
I am a little confused with Blair's fashion choice here...
Her shirt is... interesting, but it should be worn by someone much older. The top contrasted with fishnets is an odd choice and throwing a knee-length skirt over it did not solve a thing. Her effort in shoes and jewelry is appreciated though.
Also working the black lace for Cece's Secret wake...
Charlie (I still call her that...) dyed her hair! I guess she figured that because she was no longer a VDW, blonde hair was not required. A reddish tone fits her nicely, but blonde was equally nice! Her dress is gorgeous from the waist up in the front and back, but something weird happens around the knee area where it goes out in an odd way. Other than that, 100% on this outift!
I wanted to love Chuck this episode, but I was disappointed.
He was weak, and it seemed as though Dan knew Blair better - *gasp*. He does look dapper in his suit though, and I adore the pocket square. My only problem: stripes and polka dots? A little much, even for Chuck.
Since she's the royal guard for a principality that seems to exist only to be stylish, is not surprising that Estee looked quite good.
Even though her coat and dress were a bit plain, her bag was a pop of texture.
Now that Blair is at Dan's feet, the plaid has disappears and he's going all Men in Black on us.
This new Dan seems to be more spontaneous, drinks scotch, and keeps the poodle on his head tamed. Maybe he's taking example from Chuck, which is never a bad thing.
Alright -- time to take a second to breathe. Between Chuck, Dan, and Dan's chest hair, I would pick Chuck. Maybe that's just me... The seemingly reformed Dan is going back to his crazy summer days, in which his chest hair was his main accessory. WHY DOES HE THINK THIS IS OK?
After Dan's Chest Hair: The Comeback, we have to endure seeing Blair kiss Dan. This saddened me greatly, especially because Blair's wedding ring is in full view the entire time.

What is this Blair-Dan storyline,I mean seriously!!She begins the season with the well known dilemma Prince or Chuck(which let's be honest,is a logical dilemma,since the one is a prince who adores her and the other is...well Chuck,nuff said!).Then you get episode after episode of Blair fighting her real feelings for Chuck because she's made a promise to the prince and apparently god which is weird,but ok,whatever!This pining is ended only by Blair accepting the inevitable and deciding to stay in a marriage she's unhappy in (even though Chuck offered to buy her out,he was all like "Dude,how many camels,for real?") but asking Chuck to wait for her cause it was only a short year and then they could be together for ever and ever (as equals which apparently is very important to Blair,even though she seems to be doing nothing anymore in her path of becoming a succesful,powerful woman and basically spent the entire year planning her wedding to a prince) and he doesn't need to worry because she'll love him forever and ever and no other man will ever be with her because of him...which in two short episodes ends in "In the battle between Chuck and you,Dan I choose you" *enter passionate kiss here*....to this I've got only one thing to ask....What.The.Fudge?
Georgina's copper coat - I also don't know if I love it or hate. It's a good color on her, but something around the shoulders makes it a little too Sci-Fi for me. Is she secretly a Klingon in her spare time?
Lola - love her tan/brown outfit. It's like she's a normal person who makes sure she's color coordinated/matching. And bonus points because we've seen that coat before!
Blair staring blankly into the dining room - really? Shouldn't she be reading the rest of Dan's book to find out what else she doesn't know about? She has nothing better to do?
Ivy's dress looks like she got it from a Victoria's Secrets catalogue.
Lola IS refreshingly normal. We hope she stays that way. (Although, if her character sticks around, we're calling a Lola-Dan romance right now.)
