Blair Waldorf: Marchesa Before Marchesa

dita beats blair.jpgSo I didn’t watch Gossip Girl last night. I don’t actually have a TV, slight problem, I know. But when my phone started buzzing with texts from former Fashionistas, I knew I’d missed something major.

Apparently, Blair had been keeping a prom scrapbook under her bed for a very, very long time filled with creepy sketches of her and Nate at the big dance. In one such sketch was a dress and that dress was Marchesa Spring 08, the one Dita Von Teese wore to 7th on Sale almost two years ago.

Which should mean that Blair dreamed up the black and gold embroidered poof before Keren and Georgina even hooked up. And of course the dress in the sketch turned into the dress in real life (thanks to Chuck apparently? thanks to Natalie for ruining the end?) without a single mention of Marchesa.

Wonder what Harvey Weinstein’ll say about that?

I think Harvey just worries about the bottomline. I miss the Miramax when it was just Bob and Harvey. Now, Mickey has it, colon plus left parentheses.

Britt, Thanks for this post. I couldn't place that dress and it was driving me crazy. Now I can go on vacation with peace of mind.

The producers aren't stupid - they know people find out easily where outfits come from. (And if they'd mentioned Marchesa it would have ruined the Chuck plot... The implication was he had it made for her, as she probably would have noticed if her dream dress appeared on a major designer's runway.)
