Blake Lively is pretty much undeniably gorgeous.  We can all agree on that, right?  I mean, when Gossip Girl wraps up in just a couple of months it will be pretty much what she’s known for, she’ll be the actress hot enough to marry Ryan Reynolds after Scarlett Johansson.  And that’s pretty impressive.  Not that I am claiming she won’t get work, I am certain she will, she alone among the cast of GG hasn’t had much trouble getting big time roles in movies, it doesn’t hurt that she appears to have been molded to look like a movie star, I mean, need I remind anyone of what she wore at the Savages premier?  It was straight out of old Hollywood.  (Yeah, I know, I probably do have to remind you, check my tags, it’s back there, she’s standing in front of a big wall that says Savages).  But I am not here to just talk about how hot she is, though obviously we’ve discussed that some.  I am here to discuss what it is that makes her so alluring.  It almost feels easy to write her off, as many have, because Serena Van Der Woodsen isn’t a very interesting character.  I would argue that the girl everyone pines for is never an interesting character because it isn’t a character, it’s an male gaze mixed with an idea committed to paper.  It is fun to look at but it’s not a person.  So I think it’s to her credit she does it well.  There is something to the casual flip of her hair, or the way her lips curl as she smiles that at least you get it when you see her, it makes sense.  Oh right, everyone wants her because there is a glow to her.  It’s not just hotness, there’s an extra something, some girls just seem to have it, something to draw you in, a magnetism.  That’s why she’s here today, to recognize that.  Also because yeah, she’s hot and today I want to fuck Blake Lively.
