A streetcar Named Desire； starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh； was about to start。 Another
old favorite。 Blair put the white terrycloth bathrobe back on a fluffed up the pillows on the giant
bed。 Then she dialed room service again。 〃A hot fudge sundae； please。 And a pack of Merit Ultra
Lights。〃
She sank back on the pillows and closed her eyes。 When she left his house； Nate had been partying
with a bunch of stoners； including an annoying French hippie chick named Lexique。 That stupid；
lazy asshole who so didn't deserve to go to Yale probably hadn't even noticed that Blair had left。
Tears seeped out from under her closed lids。 Nate hadn't changed。 Nothing had changed… except
the status of her virginity。 She bit her lip and fought back an angry sob。 Well； so what？ Nate didn't
deserve sex。 Besides； eating a hot fudge sundae in a Plaza hotel bed while plotting her revenge on
her asshole…of…a…loser…soon…to…be…ex…boyfriend was even better than sex。
Way better。
K AND I TAKE THEIR JOBS SUPER…SERIOUSLY
Dear Seniors；
We are so excited for next Friday； which as you know is Senior Cut Day； now known as the first
day of SENIOR SPA WEEKEND！！！！ Yes； it's a school day。 Unfortunately we'll be too busy getting
ready for our hot…stone facials and seaweed body wraps to remember to show up！ Please don't be
worried about getting into trouble… not that you really are。 Senior Cut Day is an ancient Constance
Billard School tradition； and no one's ever been expelled or even punished for it。
So here's what's happening。
Thursday night at 6：30 P。M we'll board the Archibald family's big sailboat； which is docked at
Battery Park City。 The Archibalds are having their annual benefit cruise to the Hamptons； and they
have generously offered us a ride。 As soon as we dock in Sag Harbor； we'll be picked up by a fleet
of limos； which will whisk us off to Isabel Coates's totally amazing beach house； where the
biggest； bestest girls…only slumber party will take place。 NO BOYS ALLOWED。 In the morning
we'll have breakfast by the pool； catered by。。。 TBA （we're working on getting the chef who helped
Julia Roberts lose all that weight after having her twins）。 After that； a day of treatment brought to
us by Origins。 And everyone will get an Origins gift bag valued at three hundred dollars to take
home wither totally refreshed and revitalized new self！
Dress： Resort casual。 Towels； hairdryers； bath； and beauty products galore will be supplied。 No
dogs； please even if they are really small。 And NO BOYS！
Let's heard it for an amazing weekend of bonding with the girls！
Big Smoochies！！
Love；
Your classmates Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates
P。S We put a suggestion box in the senior lounge； so your ideas are wele； not that we haven't
already planned the most perfect day！
P。P。S Two； four； six； eight； only one month till we graduate！！！

HEY PEOPLE！
SOME RECENT OBSERVATIONS
THE CASTAWAYS
I honestly don't know what's gotten into a certain group of people lately。 I mean is it okay to just；
like； disappear？？ Apparently a bunch of boys we all know and love （at least most of the time） have
hijacked a very large； well…appointed sailboat and are headed into the Atlantic。 It could be just
another senior prank； except that half the boys on the boat are juniors。 It's kind of random time to
take off； especially when all of us girls could use a little entertainment。 Just who do they think
they are… Christopher Colombus？
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
They have their choice of guys； but for whatever reason； models can't get enough of guys with
guitars。 Rumor has it the latest couple of the moment is a certain blond…haired Fifth
Avenue…dwelling senior girl and the lead guitarist from the Raves。 How； when； and where they
met is a plete mystery； but talk about a perfect couple！
TO GAP OR NOT TO GAP？
Don't even try to pretend it was someone else： I saw you sneaking into the Gap on Eighty…sixth
and Madison and actually trying on a plum…colored Juicy Couture terrycloth zip…up hoodie in the
kids' section。 Okay； I'm a snooping bitch。 But the reason I'm ratting you out is I tried the very same
hoodie on； and； unlike you （although I know you wanted to）； I bought three of them！ Why not？
They're cute； and we're going to need lots of terrycloth cover…ups to wear après le pool this
summer。 Plus we'll probably spill Campari or crème de menthe or something equally devastating
all over ourselves； so we'll need more than one。 Besides； terrycloth is terrycloth； and what better
way to show off your white new jacquard Gucci bikini than with a cute plum…colored hoodie？
Think of it as a get…out…of…jail…free card： you're still not allowed to buy jeans there … heaven forbid…
but you can now have my permission to purchase certain necessary items at the Gap。
YOUR E…MAIL
Q： Dear GG；
Are you ever going to tell us where you're going to college next year？ Have you even decided？
…qrs
A： Dear qrs；
That's for me to know and you to find out。 But let me ask you this… do I strike you as the
indecisive type？
…GG
Q： Dear GG；
I heard Damian Polk from the Raves used to live in the same building as that blond model you're
always talking about。 They've known each other since they were babies and they used to hook up
in the elevator in the middle of the night； while the =doorman was napping。
…ob…v…us
A： Dear ob…v…us；
That's a great story； but I heard Damian's family lived in Ireland until he was thirteen。 Hence his
funny accent and the reason why he's always seems a little drunk。
…GG
Q： Dear GG；
I run the crew on a sailboat that belongs to a prominent New York family。 The son； who I hear has
been in lots of trouble before； took off in the sailboat yesterday evening and hasn't returned。 I'm
afraid his ass will be grass whenever he gets back； because his dad is kind of tough。
…captain
A： Dear captain；
His ass is already grass； for more reasons than that！
…GG
SIGHTINGS
S and an unidentified blond hunk… possibly her brother or possibly that guitarist from the Raves… at
the Central Park Zoo； feeding left…over sushi from lunch at Nicole's to the sea lions。 B buying two
La Perla nighties at Barneys。 She seems to have developed an addiction to lingerie； but what else
can one wear while lounging alone in a Plaza Hotel suite； waiting for one's boyfriend to turn up。 D
at Yellow Rat Bastard on lower Broadway； trying on every hat in the store。 V purchasing a new lip
ring … ew！ … at a piercing place in Williamsburg。 J in Barneys Co…op trying on every pair of Seven
Jeans in the store ignoring the salesperson's suggestion that she'd have better luck finding jeans
that fit in Bloomingdale's children's department。 K and I at Jackson Hole again； scheming again。
N… not。 Where in the hell is N anyway？
Don't worry I'll find him。
You know you love me；
