Hello my friends and welcome to EXHIBIT A! It is a promo picture for Gossip Girl. Look at them, all beautiful and perfectly coiffed. But there is something about this picture that bugs me. In fact, it tends to bug me in most every Gossip Girl promo picture I’ve ever seen!

Blair (the brunette, Leighton Meester) is never the star! Serena (Blake Lively) is always standing out in front of everyone else, even if not physically. I feel like the pictures say: Ensemble cast? What ensemble cast?! (In the book Serena and Blair are both the main female leads, unlike the show which is catering towards Serena. Ergo, my dismay!)

While this particular picture does show Blair center stage, something is still not right. Although Lively is to the side here, she’s standing out in a clean white cropped vest, with nude shoes and bright jeans that bring out her entire form. Meanwhile, Leighton Meester is in dark colors, almost blending into the fountain in the back!

Look at the picture - look! Your eye goes to the center, but then lingers to the right. Poor Jenny (Taylor Momsen) is providing a white color pull to that side, like a backdrop for Serena. I say, this just isn’t right!

Also not right? Whatever is working as Jenny’s tights. It looks like she pulled her nylons down and left them there. I never heard of that trend.

Of course, neither Blair or Serena look all that great in this picture:

At a glance: The very last scene with Georgina on Gossip Girl’s season finale reminded me of the last scene with Kathryn in Cruel Intentions.

Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) played Buffy Summers for seven years on The WB Network. That’s not new news. Fans know that for three of those years, Michelle Trachtenberg played Dawn Summers, Buffy’s little and peskily annoying sister. By the time Trachtenberg joined, SMG had already played her role in the 1999 hit Blockbuster Cruel Intentions.

Why, hello there - I’d greet you with a double kiss on each cheek since I’m so outrageously French these days, but we don’t want to miss the action. *Ushers you to your seats, a booming voice is then heard* And there they are! It’s some of the cast of The CW’s addictive TV show Gossip Girl! Only, I heard addictions were BAD, so I stay away - mostly. I once took a sacred vow…but it involves haunted carnivals and I just can’t get emotional right now… but I also made another vow. And that was that even if I don’t care about a show (or movie) I must always care about the fashion! That’s what’s really important. Not the writing, acting, or ratings. Just what the actresses wear to events like The CW’s upfronts in Manhatten.

Here we see two starlets: Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. There are rumors these two hate each other (I didn’t start them, honest). I have no clue. So either they’re both really happy for the success of the show, and to have made such nice friends in Hollywood…. Or Blake’s pinching Leighton’s hand while Leighton is jabbing Blake in the back. Are those happy smiles, or strained winces? You decide.

AND FOR THE PIECE D’RESISTANCE…
