    sweet Jenny

    Just a quick note to say that I still think Taylor Momsen, during this early GOSSIP GIRL era, was just the loveliest cutest most adorable darling little creature in the world. Yes, I'm the guy who posted the most negative review against one of her music videos. I repeat, what a shame she made some bad lifestyle choices. I'd have expected her to have been a major big movie star by now. But watching on DVD, years and years later, I am a very big Jenny Humphrey fan. The cutest! Just wish there was something more of this era for me of Taylor Momsen.

    • Trivia
      Though Marc Jacobs is frequently mentioned in humorous vein, the only designer shown is Michael Kors. He is the guy at his show during New York Fashion Week early in the episode. Later on seen wearing sunglasses.
    • Goofs
      When Jenny hands the garment bag (asupposedly holding her after party dress) to the assistant, it is flat. When Serena is wearing the dress that was supposed to be inside it, it has an extremely poufy skirt. The bag would not have been flat while holding the dress.
    • Quotes

      Chuck Bass: [confronting Dan in his cell where there are now two thugs locked up as well] You were writing about me?

      [waves the manuscript]

      Dan Humphrey: Where did you get that?

      Chuck Bass: You watch your back. No one uses Chuck Bass. I hope they let you stay in here. I hope they make a Humphrey sandwich.
