I hear an awful lot of talk about Gossip Girl and this so called Queen Bee, Blair Waldorf. My naturally curious ways led me to checking her out on a couple of episodes. The girl has got style, I’ll give her that. And yes, she’s got the quips. But there was something about her that irked me. Blair Waldorf is to those growing up in the new millennia what Cher Horowitz was/is to Gen X. This is a rather sad statement , be
cause my generation got the better end of the deal.
Both girls have classic styles. Plaid, headbands, pleated skirts, over-knee-socks, coordinated. 
All very naughty-school-girl-with-a-penchant-for-maxing-out-daddy’s-AMEX. Blair’s style is upper-east side all the way. Perfect tresses, perfectly styled, never caught in pants. Its too close a call in this category. Although, the fact that Cher wore an Alai dress in Clueless is making me believe all you fashionistas know which side of the fence you need to be on.
Cher has it on the attitude. Both girls have the clever, witty comebacks and good use of pop references. But Blair will never be quoted as often as Miss Horowitz. Come on, she’s the girl who taught that “searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for m
eaning in a Pauly Shore movie”. Also, it always helps when you are genuinely good-hearted person that isn’t out to sleep with/stab friends in the back/climb to the top.
Oh yes, and the ultimate barometer of cool. Cher did something before the Olsen twins—she drank Starbucks.
A wool beret is very Parisian, very classic, oh-so-Cher.
This structured blazer cuts in the waist giving you a very sexy, feminine shape.
In the movie Cher can be seen wearing a sheer button-down, like this one, perfect worn over a mini skirt and tiny camisole.
This plaid mini is the more accessible version of Cher’s pleated skirts.
Thank my lucky stars for American Apparel.
Chunky loafers that I think Cher would proudly strut around in.
How to do a party right? Sexy, short designer dress. And this Alexander Wang is 2009’s answer to Cher’s Calvin Klein.
I just couldn’t resist these. They feel slightly Cher meets Marie Antoinette.

Together with every little thing which appears to be building throughout this specific subject matter, a significant percentage of opinions happen to be fairly stimulating. Even so, I appologize, but I can not give credence to your whole idea, all be it stimulating none the less. It looks to me that your opinions are not entirely justified and in fact you are generally yourself not really totally convinced of your assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.

Throughout this awesome pattern of things you secure a B- for hard work. Where exactly you actually confused everybody was in all the specifics. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more accurate here. Having said that, allow me inform you exactly what did deliver the results. The text is definitely very powerful and that is probably the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can easily notice a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really confident of exactly how you appear to connect your points which help to make the final result. For now I will, no doubt yield to your issue however hope in the future you actually connect your facts better.
Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
Hi You have got an remarkable web site, aided myself a lot when i was creating my personal internet site
Howdy! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thank you!
Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
Greetings! I’ve been following your website for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the fantastic job!
Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I really enjoy reading through your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects? Many thanks!
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I do like the way you have framed this specific situation and it really does present me some fodder for thought. However, because of what I have observed, I just simply hope as the actual reviews stack on that men and women remain on issue and in no way start on a soap box regarding the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this exceptional point and though I can not really go along with the idea in totality, I respect the point of view.
I’m curious to find out what blog system you have been working with? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Bless you
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

I think one of your advertisings triggered my web browser to resize, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.
Cool, there are actually some good facts on here some of my associates might find this worthwhile, I must send them a link, many thanks.
Hi people, all human situations have their ups and downs. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and so we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Great post about Cher's style; it's so funny, I recently did a post about the style of My So-Called life – I think nineties style is definitely making itself heard again!

I want the white Overknees. And one big YEAH to all Gossip Girl-adicts
fabulous choice of apparel!
i like watching Gossip Girl too!
i love this post!!!!! so funny and so cute!!
"Cher did something before the Olsen twins—she drank Starbucks."
ha love it
and what did you do during Thanksgiving break that you think you should've done nothing?
been as naughty as your feature girls have you? ;P
awesome!
I love the sheer top and the white over the knee socks! Great post!
What a great post! I've never seen Gossip Girl, but I love Clueless! She's so cute and I just wish I could have one of those closet computer organizer thingys…
Love it!
er, BITCHIEST. not bitchiness.
WHY DON'T I OWN CLUELESS ON DVD?!
i've watched an episode and some random bits of gossip girl and what bothers me about blair actually is that she could really be more manipulative and bitchy – a good reference point would be your previous post. unless i caught her on a not-so-bitchy day? but i figure if you're going to make a character queen bitch, make her the bitchiness possible.
Omigod, Cher was the ORIGINAL. I think, in a certain way, I"ve always been inspired by her style. That movie always sticks out in my mind and gives me a little thrill every time I get to wear knee socks.
Oh, I love Cher!
I actually got a pair of leggings that was inspired by the ones I showed earlier, I´m wering them today
yes CHER all the way! i remember all i wanted to wear in 5th grade were plaid skirts and over-the-knee socks.
i'm a cher girl but still a fan of gossip girl!
I love the over-knee socks and the white alexander wang dress!
That's Ren and Stimpy. They're way existential.
