    another message for Taylor Momsen

    Yeah, The Raven would just like to point out that the dress they made you wear, had a bad cut for your particular shape* since it looks dowdy hand-me-down and not flattering at all. Sure you looked great in it, because YOU yourself look great. The dress? Bah!

    Viewers cheering for Serena in the catfight should please remember that Blake Lively is twice the size of Leighton Meester. Okay, now I am exaggerating, but nevertheless, they're pretty unevenly matched when it comes to a showdown. Leighton wouldn't stand a chance...

    At least someone got a beautiful dress. Fans of Kelly Rutherford have plenty to still ooh and ah about. But if you haven't yet, you should see her in MELROSE PLACE. Her first appearance, jogging on the beach. Those were the days.

    That hat Blair wore. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by that thing Stacey Dash had on her head in CLUELESS. Kinda like a California Highway policeman. Talking about Blair, as a total Johnny-come-lately, I only this week saw Leighton Meester in the second episode of ENTOURAGE and really, wow, the word "angelic" comes to mind, and that's another viewing experience The Raven crows about and would advise.

    Pretty actresses. "I hate your stupid headband!" They're thoroughly entertaining. I love the show.

    • Trivia
      While it was said that they were at Yale, the filming was actually done at Columbia University and Brooklyn College.
    • Goofs
      Serena knows that it was Pope Pius XI who canonized Sir Thomas More as a Saint simply by having watched the TV show The Tudors (2007). This is impossible, as The Tudors (2007) is a historical drama only covering the reign of Henry VIII (1509-1547); Sir Thomas More was not canonized as a saint until 1935.
    • Quotes

      Blair Waldorf: Of all the things, Nate, my mom, the girls at school - you wouldn't take this from me.

      [pause]

      Blair Waldorf: Because if you do, I swear I will take you down.

      Serena van der Woodsen: I'm not taking anything from you, Blair, I was invited. And as for taking me down, I'd love to see you try.
