R.I.P Chuck Bass

It has taken me a week to dry my eyes and remove the tissue paper from my sodden face following the tragic news that The Greatest Hero Of Our Time, Mr. Charles Chuck Bass, is in a serious critical condition has died. The event begs the question: why? Why Josh Schwartz, why did you do this to me? And what will I do without Chuck's smug little face lighting up my screen every week? Who will I turn to in my hour of sarcasm? What will become of Brooks Brothers now that he is no longer keeping them in business?

This morning I stumbled across this. A framed collection amassed by Mr. Alister Mackie, whom like Chuck Bass, enjoys a good bow-tie. It seems a rather fitting epitaph to the man who paired his oxfords with candy cane-coloured ties that the display should be in sobering, somber black.

R.I.P Chuck Bass, and we'll see you next season in hell in heaven. Amen.

Chuck Bass goes fishing

It seems they're all at it, designers can't get enough of the boy we love to hate (or love, in my case) Mr. Charles Bass. Gossip Girl's most stylish character is surely behind this natty Band of Outsiders SS09 get-up, a combo one can easily imagine Bass wearing whilst fishing for another kind of (sea)Bass. Suits you sir.

Bride of Chucky

Paul Smith borrowed our favourite Gossip Girl catchphrase for his latest menswear collection. His plaid blazers, colour block trews, bow ties, and polo necks screamed : “I’m Chuck Bass.”

We don’t blame you Paul, that boy’s got plenty we’d like to covet!

Gossip Girl Returns...

I've been having serious Chuck Bass withdrawal symptoms since Gossip Girl's farewell from our screens. Constantly taunted with images from series two on my favourite websites stateside, it's taken all my willpower to stop myself from engaging in illegal activities - resorting to downloads online. But survived I have - taking strength from the knowledge that GG will return to ITV2 in January, and with visual aids such as these. Thank god for the internet.
