A Very Special GG Recap: Up Close with Georgina!

Tuesday, May 13, 2008



I was a little worried that this week's recap might be without some of its usual vim and vigor, because I wrote it at 6:45am this morning, just before heading up to New York City for a few days. I shouldn't have worried, because the first stop on my New York itinerary (after a bagel, coffee and a quick stroll through Soho, of course) was the launch of the new-and-improved Sunglass Hut in downtown Manhattan (now without those pesky locked cases!), hosted by none other than Georgina herself, Ms. Michelle Trachtenberg.

I might have prepped a little more if I'd realized that this party was going to be so small – as it were, there were only about 30 of us crammed into the Sunglass Hut, so I basically shoulder-to-shoulder with G. as she gushed sweetly to other reporters about what was in her Chanel 2.55 bag (a Shu Uemura eyelash curler and a Blackberry) and also the details on her handmade jewelry line, Bella Veritas.


Naturally, she was wearing blue – a floor-length Diane von Furstenberg dress with an amazing black lace back. (Plus: Navy nails! I guess when you know what works…) She also had the most insanely creamy skin ever, which is making me feel that much worse about the terrible sunburn I'm suffering with (damn you, pony races!).


And with that, we head to our offical GG play-by-play. Be warned: There are spoilers!

6:58am: Hmmm. Well, Georgina, I have to say that the more evil you get, the worse your outfits get. I'd start lobbying the costume department to get you back into the blue.

7:00pm: Oooh! Nice eggplant Vespa, Vanessa! But your enormous lime green and gold earrings and huge gold chain necklace… I mean, c'mon. Has the accessories department just never stepped foot in a outer borough?

Nate! You're back! Looking good! {Which reminds us: Did anyone see the People Most Beautiful issue with the Ashlee Simpson-Pete Wentz q&a? And Pete alleges that all pretty boys with big eyelashes are wearing falsies? Our Chace Crawford-Zac Efron dreams are slowly being crusssshed.}

7:03am: Tensions mount as Chuck Bass and Dan face off in a grandpa cardigan showdown. Who will win? Will it be Chuck's overly buttoned-up mustard version? Or Dan's casually unbuttoned burnt orange? Only time will tell, but we've definitely got money on Chuck's plaid pants. They'd kick Dan's skinny dark jeans anyday.

7:06am: Oooh, Blair, I really don't know about that tiny little bow on your dress. It's like someone shrunk your bowtie. Your low ponytail, however, is really Audrey chic. Also, is everyone trading in brights for muted, mustardy tones this episode?

Mini dance party break! I do love these Madonna-JT Sunsilk commercials.

7:11am: That Rolling Stone picture of Rufus? Does it not look like he's wearing the worst Halloween wig ever? I thought he was supposed to be *hot* in the 90s!

7:13am: Ooooh! Grandpa cardigan throwdown!

7:14am: Wow, hangovers look pretty incredibly awesome on Serena. As do cute purple bathrobes.

7:17am: Is it not seriously weird that the housekeeper is making clandestine phone calls?

7:25am: Sober flashbacks necessitate sober outfits, I guess.

7:27am: Rehearsal dinner chic! Plus, this silver wide scarf with silver flowers might be Blair's best headband yet.

7:29am: A Lisa Loeb cameo? Oh Lisa, I think you and your black and white mini-dress are both pretty cute, but agreeing to host a VH1 has-beens concert on GG has probably been your worst career move since that reality dating show you did a few years ago. Which I watched an embarrassingly large amount of.

7:38am: Quickest Resolution of a Murder. Ever!

7:39am: Clearly, Rufus was just the worst '90s musician ever. And his lip synching just sucks. And why is no one rocking out anywhere near the front of the stage?

7:42am: I'm sorry, but that was an incredibly anticlimactic and passionless kiss, Lily and Rufus. Look alive, kids.

7:45am: So wow, there was just an incredibly lack of eye candy! Luckily, next week's wedding looks like it will be formal-tastic. Plus, now that this pesky murder business has been neatly taken care of, we can move back to more frivolous pursuits. Like dresses!

This actually makes me semi like Michelle Trachtenberg. I'm so jealous! and i have to agree with fashion tidbits, i love your comments :)

Unknown said...

Urgh, jealous about your MT sighting!

Still stuck in Singapore, and stuck getting my weekly GG dose from a friend (guy friend, nonetheless), but I just stumbled upon your blog, which is shaping up to be one of my favourites! :)

And I don't think it's weird about the housekeeper. It happens here, you know :P

Unknown said...

I haaaaaaaaaate Georgina! And I didn't particularly like this week's episode *yawn*

I just figured out that GG is Gossip Girl, after doing some Googling. What were you doing at Sunglass Hut at 6:58 in the morning? Am I just totally confused here?

Ms. Spinach said...

oh, yes, sorry. the bulk of the recap was written at approximately 6:58am -- the party was later in the day, but it provided a much-needed boost to my sleepy ramblings.

Great recap!
This episode was a bit of a let-down after last week's build-up.

I kinda want Vanessa's hot pink Docs. Is that terribly wrong?

Here here to more frivolous pursuits like dresses! Why not its spring finally! And michelle trachtenberg did look beautiful and stylish as all hell for that sunglass hut party. If I win that billion dollar babe contest I glanced over a couple of pages ago I'm so treating myself to a new pair of sunglasses ah! If only we lived the lives of the rich and famous!

豊胸術は乳腺に触れない方法ですので、妊娠や出産後の授乳にも影響はありません。結婚前の10代の女性から授乳後に形が悪くなったという方まで、年齢に関係なく受けることができます。バッグ挿入法では脇の下の目立たないところからバッグを挿入しますが、現在の技術では傷痕も目立たず、見た目や触った感じも自然な感じにすることが出来るそうです。最近では、入院や通院の必要がない注射によるバストアップ術もありますね。みなさんよくご存知のかたも多いと思いますが、ヒアルロン酸を注入するやり方のことです。事前のカウンセリングによって、あと何ミリおおきくしたいなどの微調整も可能です。また、鏡をみて、この箇所をもう少し大きくしたいなどの細かい作業も出来ます。「手術は痛そうだし、ちょっと怖い・・」という方にピッタリの方法ではないでしょうか。痛みも、針を刺す時のチクッとした痛み程度のようですし、何より何回も病院に通わなくて良いところが最大のメリットだといえます。豊胸術は胸を大きくする他にも、胸の形をきれいにすること、例えば乳房に張りを持たせたり、垂れた乳房を吊上げたりなど、目的によってさまざまな手術があります。
