run…in with Mrs。 M this morning； she was pretty sure she couldn't live at the Plaza for the rest of
the school year without pletely ruining her chances of getting into Yale。 And what if she
needed to entertain。。。 a guest？ An apartment without parents or nannies or maids or cooks was the
perfect place； even if it had to be in dirty； disgusting Williamsburg。 She might even convince
Vanessa to hire a decorator； and introduce some color to the apartment。 Not that she had actually
seen Vanessa's place； but after going to school with her for the last one hundred years； she was
pretty sure the entire apartment was done entirely in black。 She could make the place over
pletely just like the frumpy； bookish Audrey Hepburn was made over into a fabulous fashion
model in 'My Fair Lady'！
〃Interview me；〃 she suggested。
〃But…〃 Vanessa countered。 〃I live in Brooklyn。〃
Blair twisted her ruby ring around and around on the ring finger of her left hand。 〃I know。〃 She
sighed mournfully down at her black patent leather flats and closed her eyes； trying to picture
herself as a hip； artsy Williamsburg person。 She'd wear drab green t…shirts with ironic decals on
them like WILLIAMSBURG IS FOR LOVERS。 She'd take her coffee black。 She'd wear Converse
sneakers without socks and carry a vintage purple plastic handbag。 She'd get orange highlights and
wear black octagonally framed glasses。 She'd eat falafel。 She'd write poetry。 She'd get a lip ring
and a tattoo！ Oh； wouldn't Nate just die。 A smile spread across her face。 〃I've always wanted to
live in Brooklyn。〃
Yeah； right。
〃No； you…〃 Vanessa began in attempt to dissuade her。
〃You have cable； TiVo； and a DVD player； right？〃 Blair demanded。
Wait； who's supposed to interview who？
〃I have to watch my movies；〃 Blair insisted； like a TV…dinner…eating old biddy who couldn't
survive without her daily dose of Regis and Kelly。
〃Movies？〃 Vanessa repeated； wondering if Blair had pletely lost her mind。 She'd forgotten that
Blair was a huge old movie fan。 Back in November； Blair had even entered a film contest at
school。 all she'd done was replay the first ten minutes of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' over and over to
different music； because in her opinion it was the perfect first ten minutes of any film ever。
Vanessa had won the contest with her version of 'War and Peace'； starring her former best friend
Dan Humphrey as the dying Prince Andrei。 That had been before they'd even kissed… what seemed
like a century ago。
〃Anything starring Audrey Hepburn。 Or Jimmy Stewart。 Or Cary Grant。 Or Lauren Bacall。〃 Blair
clarified breathlessly。 〃And of course； 'Gone With the Wind'。〃
If there was one thing Vanessa had plenty of； it was film equipment； TVs； videos； and DVDs。
〃Don't worry。 I'm majoring in film at NYU next year。 I have everything；〃 Vanessa assured her。 〃All
the classics。〃
〃And how do you get to school？〃 Blair demanded； wondering if she might have to learn to drive。
Keeping her eyes on her puter screen； she wiggled her mouse to give the impression that she
was hard at work。 〃Isn't there； like； some bridge you have to cross？〃
Considering Manhattan is an Island； then yes probably a bride would be involved。
Vanessa decided to humor her。 Not that Blair Waldorf really wanted to live in her dodgy； graffitied
Brooklyn apartment building with its view of other dodgy； graffitied Brooklyn apartment buildings。
〃The L train goes to Union Square and then I change for the 6。〃
Huh？
Blair frowned。 Was she talking about the subway？
〃If the weather's really bad or I'm really late； I call a car service；〃 Vanessa admitted。
Aha！
〃And do you mind。。。 you know； visitors？〃 Blair asked。
As in male visitors？
Vanessa laughed。 〃As long as they don't smell and they bring food。〃
Blair nodded seriously。 She'd have her very own apartment in which to have wild crazy sex with
Stan 5 or any other boy she chose； and she would turn herself into the sexiest； most pierced and
tattooed girl in Williamsburg； Nate would go absolutely crazy with regret。 〃I think this could work
out； don't you？〃
Vanessa's brown eyes has ceased blinking。 〃But we hate each other；〃 she said matter…of…factly。
Blair rolled her eyes and knocked her tanned bony knee against Vanessa's pale round one。 〃Oh；
don't be such a snob；〃 she huffed； really getting into her new role as Vanessa's long…lost hipster
sister。 〃Now； about your boyfriend problem；〃 she continued； as if the matter was already closed。
〃The thing is； and no offense； but I bet you're only attracted to guys who are kind of 'alternative'；
like you…〃 Blair clamped her mouth shut； as her brain underwent a light bulb moment。 Why she'd
never thought of it before she didn't know； but her dreadlocked so…called alternative stepbrother
Aaron and the shaven…headed； black…wearing Vanessa were absolutely the perfect couple！ They
could paint each other's toenails black； cook vegan sushi； film each other's hair or lack thereof； and
otherwise entertain themselves while she was busy seducing the boy who was going to get her into
Yale。
See； maybe Williamsburg really is for lovers！

HEY PEOPLE！
THE ODD COUPLE
Who would've thunk it？ A girl married to her eight…hundred…hundred…dollar Manolos has
tentatively moved in with a classmate who has never worn anything on her feet but steel…toed Doc
Marten boots and black Danskin knee socks。 One thing is for sure； they won't be sharing clothes。
But since they e from two entirely different planets； they definitely have a lot to talk about and
a lot to learn。 A sample conversation：
〃Have you seen the brush for my Stila bronzing powder？
〃Oh are you doing an art project？〃
I'm taking all bets for how long this crazy sleepover is going to last！
QUEL DESATRE！
Word alsohas it that a certain French tie…dye…wearing hippie chick has told the entire world that
she and our favorite stoner lacrosse jock aren't just seeing each other… they're in love。 Uh…oh。
Your e…mail
Q： Dear GG；
I volunteer in the admissions office at my college； which happens to be one of the lvies； and my
friends and I have spent a lot of time courting this one ining freshmen because we think she'd
be the perfect pledge for our sorority。 She'd gorgeous and smart and talented… just like we are。 The
thing is； she hasn't answered a single one of our e…mails。 I know it sounds corny； but what if we
sent her； like； a care package or something… do you think it would help？
…PrincetonBabe
A： Dear Princeton Babe；
I hate to break it to you； but I don't think so。
…GG
SIGHTINGS
C at Tower Records buying a pirated version of the latest Raves single starring none other than D；
who is supposedly his least…favorite person of all time。 Is it the music or the words that he can't
resist？ K and I sampling acne…clearing Origins products at the Madison Avenue store and
inadvertently slipping a few freebies into their Tod's bags when the sales assistant turned her back。
B and V plying the grocery store delivery man with a box of Godiva truffles to get him to carry
their shopping bags up three flights to their apartment door。 And those were those black…and…white
toile curtains with balloon valances we saw in the windows？ Guess they're both learning to
promise！
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM；
This week I've actually witnessed my classmates hanging around in front of school after it gets out；
chatting about their summer plans； and drinking iced lattes。 A few weeks ago we were skipping
class to sunbathe in the park； listening to out MP3s and barely speaking to one another。 Now we
don't know what to do with ourselves； and we can't stand to be alone。 Chalk it up to the cloudy；
humid； airless May weather； and the fact that in less than four weeks some of us will never see
each other again。 I'm also convinced that something's cooking。 Just watch： e Friday； all hell
will break loose。
I'll be there with bells on！
You know you love me；
