Let's #spring forward! Easier said than done for most, right? Well, what has March brought us? Consequences to our actions, perhaps. Gossip Girl has been firing shots and making sure to kick our fan faves when they're down. Isobel and Logan remain broken up and broken hearted (so, it wasn't just a joke? Early April Fools? Guys!) with our Ice Queen returning to her old ways and Logan... becoming his father? We're still watching closely in the wake of Valentine's Day at everyone who connected that night. We're still watching closely for the other shoe to drop with the Howard Archibald of it all. We're still wondering why William Huntzberger is spiraling further and further! There are a lot of unanswered questions from the past couple of months, aren't there? Why does Ceren Celik-Montgomery suddenly have a full SWAT-style security team? Why do Jesse-and-Alex look more like baby Lexa's parents than Logan-and-Alex? Is Caisson Andrews the hottest boy in town and can anyone knock him off the pedestal? Who will fall prey to Lisbeth Castillo's revenge first? We saw a few familiar faces pop their heads out of the sand... Dan Humphrey, Caitlyn Coates, Aaron Vandervort, Robbie and Elizabeth Baizen! And a few new faces have arrived on the scene - did we all know Tessa had a sibling, Zara Bishaya-Cooper? And can you believe that the Roman Ravenwood is joining FNB!? We're sure that April is going to bring a lot of things to light that we'd all rather stay buried... Can't wait XOXO

Olivia Burke

Rebecca Ravenwood

♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Olivia Burke Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: 12th October 1995 Hometown: Adelaide, Australia Occupation: Actress/Producer Faceclaim: Samara Weaving

Who Is Olivia?

“I don't care how much money they're offering, K.C., 'Bitches of Eastwick' is a terrible idea.”

Olivia Burke, or should I say Kate when you were trying to keep your privacy after The Endless Knights franchise shot you to fame. Gone are the days of you being able to blend in on the Upper East Side when you wanted to hang out with your friends or go shopping. Haven’t you learned? Privacy isn’t a privilege you have anymore, and everything is about you is fair game. All’s fair in love and war. You’re public property. More importantly, you’re the newest Barbie doll I get to play with, isn’t that exciting? I can’t wait to see what fun we’ll have. I know you want to live your life without your fame getting in the way, and that’s all very well and sweet but authenticity is dangerous, Olivia. It comes with a price when you’re under the microscope and when you’re under my watchful eye…and remember, I have eyes everywhere. XOXO ---Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

There’s nothing like overnight success. Some crave it and run towards it but Olivia isn’t one of them. After landing the lead role in The Endless Knights franchise, Olivia’s name was known overnight to the whole world all before she had even stepped foot onto a film set. There was an Olivia before the films and then there was an Olivia after. Before the films, she lead a life at NYU studying Drama and Film Studies. She loved the courses, she met great people and it was her passion to work in the industry. She could go to her friends events and art shows without a mob taking the spotlight away from them and turning it to her. She could walk down the street and not worry if a camera would be flashing or have people stop her every three steps. While she’s so incredibly grateful for her life, she misses the old days. Then the films came out, each one more successful than the last and then the alias of Kate was discovered and announced to social media. It was game over. Other film offers rolled in and she took job after job to keep herself busy and distracted. Each film taking her higher and higher into the Hollywood circle.That was where she got the idea of using the name Kate.  Kate became her safe haven to get a taste of her old life back. She tuck her hair away in a cap and put on basic outfits to blend into crowds. She could go get coffee or go and see her friends photography exhibit or go to another friends poetry reading. Olivia doesn’t hate her life, she hates the restrictions it brings. Once a rule breaker, always a rule breaker. She grew up watching actors like the brat pack (specifically Jamie Park and Rebecca and Roman Ravenwood) and she’d always admired their talent and drive. She’s been lucky enough to meet them all through the Hollywood machine and she’d always hoped to work with them some day but the right project hasn’t landed on her desk yet for her to reach out to any of them about work. 

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

Olivia has nothing to hide, that’s part of the problem. She has nothing and nowhere to hide. She wasn’t a part of the original takedown of Gossip Girl but she was glad to hear that she was gone, she doesn’t need more prying eyes on her life. The resurgence of GG has brought it’s own problems of street level gossip not just tabloid gossip. She can’t even go on a date these days without it being everyone’s business. 

Connections

Jamie Park and Rebecca Ravenwood - Olivia adores them & really looks up to them and how they've been able to navigate their lives and careers as women in a cut throat industry. 

Roman Ravenwood - admires his work, thinks he's hot as hell!

Tabby Taoutel-Dryden

♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Tabitha Taoutel-Dryden Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: 15th June 2004 Hometown: Upper East Side, NY Occupation: Influencer/Trust-Fund Baby Faceclaim: Mika Abdalla

Who Is Tabby?

“Boys only want love if it's torture, don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya!”

Tabby Taoutel-Dryden... Where would the Upper East Side be without you? Sleeping soundly, probably. You never met a wrong turn you didn't have to take, a scandal you weren't at the center of, a set of lips with a bad reputation you didn't have to kiss! Life is for living, isn't it? And you certainly never disappoint. You don't mess around when it comes to what you want and you always say what's on your mind. You rarely learn your lesson and you're easily underestimated (a mistake, I know). Most of all, you love to have fun. If there's a party worth being at, you're there and so am I. XOXO —Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

Tabby learned one very important lesson early on in her life: you're no one until you're talked about (thank you Gossip Girl). There was a formula to being popular that she studied and executed with precision. Tabby has never been most academic, the book smartest, but she isn't clueless. She sees a lot more than anyone gives her credit for. Tabby can pick up on other people's vibes pretty easily (she's not psychic, okay! It's intuition) and is very good at making an educated guess. She loves to giggle and gossip, and kiss all the wrong people. A part of her has always thrived when there's drama even if she has to create it herself. She likes bright, passionate, fleeting relationships and memories to hold onto forever. Everyone on the Upper East Side has a reputation and Tabby knows hers inside and out. She's a good time girl, she's always at the best parties and already dancing on the tables as we speak. Tabby doesn't give a damn what other people think of her, they can think whatever they like. She loves herself and she loves her life. Anyone who isn't on board with that is a loser in her book. Tabby does have a big heart and she follows it every time, especially if it'll get her into trouble. Tabby doesn't believe in regrets and she isn't about to start now. There is truly nothing that can bring her down.

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

Nothing she wouldn't do again!

Connections

Sapphire Vandervort - her biggest frenemy. Sapphire and Tabby have known each other their whole lives. They're either best friends or worst enemies, dancing close together and laughing, or stabbing each other in the back. That's just how it's always been.

Latife Levent - best bitches! Tabby and Latife were destined to be a lethal combination. You should always surround yourself with the best, hottest, most fun people you can. She's so happy to have Latife.

Theo Hart and Freddie Redlynn - these two boys are always good for a wild night of debauchery and dumbassery. Tabby never misses a text re: a group hang with them.

♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Blythe Elswood Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: 19th August 1985 Hometown: Falkirk, Scotland Occupation: Real Estate Agent at Prescott Estates Faceclaim: Bridget Regan

Who Is Blythe?

“She is the albatross, she is here to destroy you.”

You can't keep a bad girl down, can you? No one rises from the ashes quite like you, Blythe Elswood. I know you always have more cards to play. You're brilliant, ruthless, charming and tenacious. You'll lie, cheat and steal if you have to and nothing will stop your rise to the top. You're an expert manipulator who never apologises and never looks back. You never let anyone close enough to know who you really are (whoever she is). Adapt, improvise, getting what you want and burn anyone who stands in your way. It's no wonder you're such an inspiration to former Constance Queens everywhere. I can't wait to watch you work. XOXO —Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

Blythe Elswood knows what's like to have it all and lose it. Growing up, Blythe and her older sister Carolyn had everything they could want. Spoiled rotten, their parents handed out money instead of affection and only offered their praise when the girls succeeded. There was no 'unconditional love' in the Elswood household. Blythe learned that it didn't matter. She was always charming, flirtatious and prone to making reckless decisions. She was always smart, but often she couldn't resist the thrill of making a wrong turn. The first time Blythe had to pick herself back up was after her parents' company went bust. The company that was supposed to be hers. Her birthright. Was Blythe upset? Bitter? She'd never tell because she was too busy moving forward. Fast-forward and Carolyn had married herself up before Blythe could get married and become widowed to her first ridiculously rich husband (unfortunately, she's yet to bag and mourn him). Carolyn took care of everyone, Blythe included. She joined her sister's company and has been incredibly successful ever since. Blythe has always wanted more though. She needs more. Crushing her feelings into a fine dust and swallowing back the bitterness that consumed her long ago is easy. It's what helps her win. Even when Blythe gets knocked down, she comes back better (and worse) than ever.

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

Oh, Gossip Girl would gasp if she even knew the half it...

Connections

Isobel Prescott - Blythe's niece. She isn't a particularly warm and nurturing aunt, but she's always supported and encouraged Isobel. Be soft, get eaten. She wants better for them both.

Logan Hunter, Jessica Knightly and Ceren Celik-Montgomery - Isobel's lifelong best friends and partner (well, ex-partner now, right?). Blythe doesn't do friends but they are important to Isobel so she's taken note.

Roman Ravenwood - the ex-fiancé. Who was a better candidate for marrying her way up and satisfying her need for a thrill? Roman was perfect until he left her at the alter. Whatever Blythe might have felt about it is her business and what she'll do about it? Well. That's for us to find out.

Rebecca and Veronica Ravenwood - Roman's sister and niece. They were in the wedding, actually. Her would-be family.

Veronica Ravenwood

♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Ingrid Montes-Mahdavi Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: 16th June 1996 Hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina (moved to LA young) Occupation: Assistant to Jamie Park Faceclaim: Camila Morrone

Who Is Ingrid?

"I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

If it isn’t the Mini Mahdavi, all grown up and setting up camp in the Upper East Side. There’s a lot to live up to given who your sister is, but I’m sure you won’t disappoint. You’re brushing shoulders with the who’s who of the celebrity world, there’s bound to be some use to you in those environments. Assistant to Jamie Park comes with it’s own problems, one very big problem that comes in the form of a certain actor who has shown back up on the scene recently. But with all the celebrity drama, how will you have time to figure out your own. Don’t worry, I can keep up and report on every juicy detail. It’s a good thing you’re pretty, Ingrid, it might be the only thing you have left after this city chews you up and spits you out. XOXO --- Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

Originally born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ingrid had only experienced her early childhood in her home country before her mom and her packed up and moved to Los Angeles. The move was prompted after her mom, Violeta, met Rayan Mahdavi. They fell in love and married, bringing Ingrid to her new home to LA to meet her new step-sister Lili. From the jump Ingrid wanted to be Lili’s friend, she was the coolest big sister in the world. Time passed and the girls grew and so did the distance between them. Lili was distant and despite Ingrid’s attempts to include her in family events or attempts to have some time together to catch up, all failed. Eventually Ingrid would give up these childish notions that her sister wanted anything to do with her. Their parents live for the sun, traveling all the time and calling Ingrid daily to catch up and hear about each others days. She only wished that Lili would want to be a part of that. Now she fills her parents in on her life in New York, and how she is the assistant to the ever fabulous Jamie Park. Ingrid loves her job and the people that she’s got to meet through it such as Gabriela Archibald whom she’s become close friends with. New York is worlds away from LA, and Ingrid is making the most out of every second she has in it, even if Lili won’t answer her texts or calls.

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

Ingrid didn’t know much about Gossip Girl or the drama involving her until the takedown had happened and word spread through social media. She found it insane that someone would go to so much effort to terrorise others, but also found it just as insane that people were feral for the gossip as much as Gossip Girl was to spill it. She hopes that she never has to deal with something like that, people are harsh enough around this city, they don’t need more ammunition.

Connections

Lili Mahdavi - Step-sister who feels more like a stranger than a sibling these days. The radio silence she’s been gifted with has made it clear to Ingrid that Lili doesn’t want to hear it.

Jamie Park - Boss and lovely lady who was kind enough to give her a job when she first moved to New York. Ingrid feels a blind loyalty to Jamie after everything she’s done for her.

Roman Ravenwood - The thorn in both her and Jamie’s side for different reasons. She tries to keep him and Jamie apart other than when they rehearse and film thanks to their arguing, but that proves difficult to two moths that can’t resist a flame. 

There's only one place to be on Saturday, 5th April...

If you haven't already heard - and honestly, who hasn't? - the Juliette Vanderbilt is hosting a party at her family's home in the Hamptons. With more floors, swimming pools (including indoor, heated, of course), hot tubs, neon and shots than you could even imagine... Juliette (along with her co-conspirators Sapphire Vandervort and Rose Haven) have thought of everything. The vibe is fun, the vibe is flirty. The vibe wants you taking a chance, throwing out your inhibitions, and having the time of your life. They do have a not-so secret agenda, though. This party is unofficially (as in, Jesse doesn't know) a means to get bestie Jesse Walker back out there. He's a catch, you know? And if you're looking to shoot your shot, tonight is the night to do it. Juliette, Sapphire and Rose have made sure to stack the deck in his favour. So, what are you waiting for? Let's party, already!

Okay there is one other place to be on Saturday, 5th April...

Now, if you're not headed to the party of year (to date), there are other hot tickets tonight. For one, Jamie Park is hosting a get-together at Peter Vanderbilt's art gallery (after hours) of wine, cheese, live music and general artsy debauchery. If you love listening to wild stories, dancing and 'ooh-ing and ah-ing' over wine so expensive it'd make you blush... We'll see you there!

OOC Information:

Both events start tomorrow (Friday 22nd May) so you can make starters at either one (or both if you're character is making the rounds) from then! Just pop in the tags the location your character is at.

Your characters can definitely know that Juliette-Sapphire-Rose are trying to set Jesse up! If they're interested, please feel free to come blow kisses.

Gossip Girl is planning on spilling secrets so if you'd like something of your character's to be #exposed... message the main and we'll add you to the list!

Your characters can be at either or both events, or none! Just whatever you're vibing with. Usual non-event replies can also carry on as normal.
