As an avid viewer of Gossip Girl since the very beginning, I was beside myself when I was invited to attend a private screening of the Gossip Girl season finale with fellow beauty and fashion addicts in NYC.

When was the last time you checked out a book at the library? While reading an article about Jane McGonigal’s most recent project, NYPL’s game, titled “Find the Future,” I thought to myself… how long has it been. High School?

Last weekend, I found myself in the city for a few days. And while I was there, I realized that when you combine NYC, Hot Guidos and a few (hot) chicks on twitter, your total # of followers can increase substantially (and you’re going to have a lot of fun). And the best part about [...]
