“Gossip Guys” Details Magazine is Ironic
The answer is YES!
Seriously. Look at their hair. It has to be a joke that they put that on the cover with those three guys.
The worst offender? More than just metrosexual, we have Chuck Bass. The writers don’t seem to be able to decide whether he’s gay or not. So he’s a very confused character. Here’s a hint: Change his hair and dress or he needs to start kissing some boys. Straight boys simply don’t dress like that. Even the most posh ones.
I think that because the three main guys are all brunettes, the directors try very hard to make each look distinctive - like putting one in bow ties and purple shirts (or whatever). Then you have the ‘rich-looking’ Nate and the ‘American Eagle-ish’ other guy, Dan. They couldn’t have two brunette rich guys (seriously, listen to director commentaries for movies and TV shows - they think about this stuff a lot in casting) so one gets to look…like how he does. I don’t care if Drew Barrymore is dating him, he’s not invited to my parties.

LOL!!!!!
You’re right, people *CoughTwilightfansCough* are clueless when it comes to the decisions and angst over hair and costuming, let alone casting. Now, obv. I dont watch Gossip Girl but that guys screams teh gay. In fact, they ALL do. Are you sure this just isn’t a reworking of Queer as Folk? ;p

Hehe.
I have bad news, I’ve decided that while I like the tone and cinematography of True Blood, after watching the second episode - I’m done. I don’t like any of the characters. And while I know they aren’t directly copying - the whole ‘a blonde girl you think is meek but really has super powers - and a vampire who falls for her’ seems very Buffy to me in a way I can’t ignore. And everything is so cliche. *Shrug* So I’m done with it.

I haven’t seen the pilot yet. As previously stated, I can’t warm to Anna Paquin so I was pretty indifferent. But, you’re right, the blonde with super powers is kinda Buffyish. BUT, that said, I’m sure the whole reason she had to go blonde was b/c that’s usually who your hero/heroine is. Starting from the 50’s (or perhaps earlier) the main hero character of any American media is a ‘blue eyed blonde’, whether it be Steve Rogers (Captain America) or Buffy. So…*shrug* Anyway, sorry you’ve gone off it. That sucks :/
