Serena Van Der Woodsen vs. Blair Waldorf

By -


Now I'm not usually one to pit girls against one another, but there is one "competition" I am constantly baffled at. The competition is between Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen from epic TV series Gossip Girl. I genuinely don't understand how it's even a competition- how people can even pick Serena over Blair? Serena totally sucks and is one of the worst kinds of people ever!!! If you don't believe me, have a read of my list and then maybe you'll change your mind...

*this post does include spoilers so if you haven't watched GG yet, stop reading NOW!*

1) She took her best friend's soul mates virginity- yes, I mean Nate.
Um hello, this is so wrong. Its one of the first things we learn about Serena and yet people still choose to love her! And Blair still ends up forgiving her (and the guy too)!!! I don't understand it, what she did was beyond wrong and she should not have gotten off so lightly for it! Especially when, as the series goes on, it seems like she's been making moves at Nate for quite a while, often being a third wheel to him and Blair. Some "best friend".

2) She constantly makes bitchy comments to Blair. 
Serena throws so much shade at Blair continuously it's unreal. She acts like she's so good and pure but constantly makes nasty comments. Example: "Well I admit I did come here to punish you for the things you said this morning", "I'm glad they did this alphabetically, cause now I get to see the look on your face when I use your answer even sooner" and "I hope it's broken" (said after attacking Blair with a hockey stick). The list is endless and my blog isn't long enough.


3) She is the worst best friend ever.
Not only does she sleep with her best friend's boyfriend, she abandons her best friend and leaves the country without saying a word to anyone, constantly tries to bring Blair down and then when that doesn't work, tries to outdo her. What the heck???? Oh and let's not forget the time she shoved into Blair, causing her to draw lipstick all over her face and snap said lipstick. What a cow.


4) She applies to Yale.
Serena is set on Brown, Blair is set on Yale. And then suddenly, to get "revenge" on Blair, who she claims to love like a sister, she applies to Yale, stealing Blair's answers to the Deans pop quiz so she can look more impressive and tries to outshine Blair...all for the sake of revenge!


5) She sleeps with Dan whilst he's with Blair in the same scenario as she did with Nate. 
Serena purposely steals Blair's boyfriend of the time Dan and seduces him into cheating on Blair with her in the same way she did Nate- same place, same situation. She's disgusting.


6) She chooses front row seats with Poppy Lipton at the fashion show instead of meeting up with Blair backstage as per their tradition.
Best friends are forever, new friends are for a fleeting moment. She stabbed Blair with the back and chose her fancy new friend for a temporary fling, similar to the way a toddler chooses a shiny new toy over their since-birth favourite teddy bear. She then goes on to be the superstar model of the fashion show, to further dig the knife in.


7) Blair gets a surprise place at Colombia and magically Serena decides she wants to go there too! 
What the hell? What is Serena's deal? It's like she wants to be Blair! And yet everyone continues to treat her like God's gift and make out that Blair's the evil one! I totally don't blame her for pushing Serena in the fountain.


8) She takes on the role of Gossip Girl temporarily and blasts all of her "friends".
Yet they still forgive her and still adore her and get on with life like she has done nothing wrong! WHY?! 


Having met girls like Serena myself, I totally don't understand the appeal and why everyone loves them despite them being truly evil! Blair may be a bit of a cow at times but she is always honest about it and always makes up for it afterwards too...Serena is a lot more snakey about getting "revenge" on people that she claims to love. Huh. It's not only Blair she hurts either, she hurts everyone... except Georgina I believe! It's crazy. Why is she so popular?!

Are you team Serena or team Blair? Let me know in the comments below!

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
