Hey Upper East siders, Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattans elite.
Can you believe it's been ten years since I first got the breaking news that Serena van der Woodsen was back in New York after going away to boarding school? My how times have changed. Who would've thought that first episode would lead to so many secrets, lies, betrayals, and a whole bunch of glamour, glitz and parties.
These Upper East siders may be all grown up and moved on from their past lives, but lets not forget where they started. After ten years, it's time we go back to the very beginning. And boy, did I have a lot of thoughts, 52 to be exact.
1. Wow, that song ("Young Folks") they play at the beginning is so old.
