I (gasp!) missed the Gossip Girl premiere last night.  That is what long summer weekends in the sun can do to you...make you forget about what is really important in life: television shows that have the power to change our lives.  What pisses me off more than missing the show is missing out on the discussion of the show. I refuse to read or talk about the show with anyone until I have the chance to watch it this week (though I'm not sure when that will be).  So, since I can't give you my recap, go here to read the more than concise report from Chris Rovzar and Jessica Pressler over at Daily Intel.  I had to stop a little ways in, I don't want to ruin my viewing, however, I liked this:

Plus 1 for Gossip Girl's description of the Hamptons: "Think Park Avenue but with tennis whites and Bain de Soleil." This could have been a higher scoring line had she said, "Think meatpacking district but with Lilly Pulitzer and drunk driving."

My two cents: Blair Waldorf is pictured above in designer Abigail Lorick's dress and I couldn't be happier about that.
