I might be a few seasons behind (although that will change soon), but better late than never right? Gossip Girl has fast become one of my favourite shows, and while it’s not exactly intellectual or even remotely thought-provoking, I can’t get enough of the drama, beautiful outfits, bitchiness and overall fabulousness(ness) of these spoiled rich brats from Manhattan’s upper East Side.
Girl crush on Serena aka Blake Lively (and teeny on one Blair aka Leighton Meister) aside, the three main dudes from the show are also pretty easy on the eye. It’s hard to pick favourites so early into the show, but currently I rate them as follows:
1. Nate Archibald – Chace Crawford
Gosh but he is pretty. My high school boyfriend was pretty like that, with the perfect brows, big blue eyes and chiseled cheekbones. Granted, he was also a bit of a stuffed up druggie at the time, but still – he was a pretty boy. Nate is kinda interesting, nice guy type in a not so annoying way, and is also one of most ‘stand up’ dudes on the show. I heart him mostly because of those purty, purty eyes though. Just saying.
2. Chuck Bass – Ed Westwick
Coming a very close second is the resident bad boy, Chuck Bass. One of my favourite Chuck moments was early onto the first season when they are all giving motivations as to why they should be accepted into their college of choice. Everyone gives rousing speeches about their capabilities and such, except for Chuck, who gives that pout, raises and eyebrow and says, “I’m Chuck Bass”. Bad boys are always fun to watch, without fail.
3. Dan Humphrey – Penn Badgley
Dan aka Lonely Boy started off being cool and interesting, but is already starting to become a bit annoying. I have it on good authority (thanks Brazen) that he gets even more irritating, but for now he’s at least cute enough to watch without too much hassle.
P.S. Yes, I am that shallow that I have dedicated an entire post to fictional television characters. It’s been that sort of day though, so there!



Ahhh I haven’t commented in ages, Happy belated Birthday first of all, nice to be able to put a face to the blog now
As for GG, heh i also started off liking Nate but trust me pretty soon you will lust after Chuck. Love the show, Serena becomes pretty annoying for a while and you’ll notice she gets implants all of a sudden.
Thanks lady!
Ye, have heard friends say exactly what you said… think I need to get hold of season 2 & 3 soon and check it out, hehe.
