gossip girl recap

happy tuesday everyone!

If a woman has thousands of dollars worth of hair extensions and doesn't make an effort to groom them, do they really exist? Meanwhile, Jenny struggled to remain true to her Humphrey-ness in the face of peer and adult pressure, and Blair continued to be torn between the happy-go-lucky golden retriever that is Nate and her animal attraction to Chuck, the fun but dangerous pit bull. "He would almost be scary if he wasn't wearing plaid," Dan remarks, of the latter. Wouldn't we all.
• Dorota: "Maybe girl from Brooklyn cry, Mr. Nate nice boy, he wipe tears, he touch her hair, she touch his … not that this ever happen to me." Plus 5. Also, plus 5 for the weird implied flirtation between the maid and Vanya the Russian doorman in the van der Woodsen building that also somehow involves product placement for Ann Coulter's newest book. We don't quite get why Dorota would be a right-wing fanatic, but something about it feels right, and we like that they're developing her character. 
• Jenny's text to Gossip Girl reads: "Rager at the VDW!" Plus 1 for the use of rager.
• Chuck is always hanging around in Lily's living room in his smoking jacket drinking booze in front of the fire. Don't other people, like, an entire family, live in that apartment? Minus 3, because what if someone wanted to play Hungry Hungry Hippos? And doesn't Lily basically live on that couch, in her enormous pregnant-ness?
• It's totally unrealistic that Lily would say that she thought the party Serena put together for Jenny was "delightful" and act like Jenny was at fault for being ungrateful when Jenny had clearly, strenuously objected to having such a party the day before and it was beyond evident that Serena was being a pouty egomaniac. It is, however, realistic that Rufus would sit there like a lump while that conversation was going on, so: Even.
