The 40-Year Old Duchess
marthawilcox183119 August 2014
There are some flattering shots of Blair in this episode, and Serena is quite provocative when she sucks on a chocolate coated strawberry.

Chuck has good movement, and it's really a pity that he didn't challenge Dan back the various times they have confronted each other.

The 40-year old Catherine 'Duchess' Beaton who helps Nate out financially in return for sexual favours is a good concept, but playing with her step-son as well makes you lose sympathy for her. I can understand Nate going from Blair to Catherine, and I can understand Catherine wanting younger flesh in addition to her husband. But the step-son and his false British accent lacks credibility.

I think Blair is better off with Chuck as he knows her better than she knows herself, whereas Nate doesn't quite know himself or the women he's with.

Never Been Marcused (#2.2)

Warning: Spoilers
The episode takes us to an interesting turn. Now turns out that Blair's Lord is the step son of the woman Nate has an affair with. This is kind of soap operish but very entertaining. Blair's party to impress her was really good and how it ended was pretty fun.

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Just two notes. All I'm gonna say. Kept being reminded of that Vermeer painting (Yeah, I saw GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING years ago) when Blair is on the screen with the pink ribbon in her hair, wonderfully off-setting the blue eyes and brunette hair. Must be the flattering scene Other Reviewer Martha refers to. I'm not so much a Blair Waldorf nut, Serena is the rose for me (Jenny being a different matter altogether!) but big score for Leighton Meester this outing. Classic beauty!

As for Serena on the beach, Blake Lively, I am reminded re a childhood memory. Raquel Welch being likened to a full-blooded racehorse. Some local publication decades ago. Blake, no better description, your wild mare is delightful.

Johnny-come-lately on DVD. Worth the wait.
