how to be a gossip girl!

1. Make sure you are popular and talked about. Gossip Girl is, naturally, all aboutgossip- while sometimes it may be actually harmful, in small amounts it's innocent, fun and very juicy; not to mention it's one of the main ways to popularity. Make your life worthy to be gossiped about; that includes doing some crazy things once in a while (but not so crazy you're looked down at) and making a reputation as a glamour girl. If your popularity, however, is falling, win back the hearts you were once popular among- by throwing the party of the year, getting the hottest guy in the school or getting on the cover of a magazine; anything, as long as it's glamorous and it gains the admiration of people around you.
2. Look the part. Less than perfect looks are not accepted, as the way you look can make you or break you in a Gossip Girl-like world.

• Take good care of yourself. Brand name skin lotions, shampoos, makeup products and other stuff are very often mentioned in the Gossip Girl books. In matters of products used for grooming, buy the best you can afford (well, actually that applies pretty much to everything...). Have a morning beauty routine: take a shower, wash and style your hair, paint your nails, apply makeup. When you afford, go to beauty salons and spas and have professionals take care of your skin, nails and hair; it's very relaxing and you get better results.
• Get the style. Trendy clothes, straight hair, polished look- that's the predominant look in the books. Read fashion magazines and go on style.com to find out about the latest trends. Don't follow trends like crazy, though; having your own style is very appreciated. Just buying a few items in style at the moment will save you from bankruptcy and losing your fashion identity.
• Buy fine, high quality, well-tailored clothes. They don't have to be designer (although a few designer clothes would be more than welcome), but they must be stylish, well-made and somewhat expensive. In matters of clothes, go for a sexy, sleek, high-end chic style. Buy some awesome shoes too. Own at least a designer it bag, if you afford. 
• 4. Be well-mannered. As fellow Upper East Siders, the Gossip Girl characters have impeccable manners; they don't want to risk being seen in public doing something that would go off as rude, gross, offensive, impolite or socially unacceptable in any way.
  • Never fart, burp, or cuss in public.
  • When arguing to someone, don't shout and be elegant in dealing with that person.
  • Don't be annoying, and especially not on purpose.
  • Be respectful to everyone.
  • Learn to apologize and thank people.
  • When going to an event, respect the dress code, if there's one.
  • Don't drink too much at a party; drunk people are just lame.        
  • 4.Go to parties, events and any kind of social gathering; host one every now and then. Have fun, party 'till you drop, meet new people, flirt and dance. Be the center of attention for at least one night. You will be remembered as the girl who entertained everyone at the party and you'll start being invited to more and more events.
  • 5.Be on good terms with your parents. You don't want to be like little J, getting grounded for everything she does wrong. Earn their trust and get allowance from them for partying, consuming alcoholic beverages (don't overdo it and get drunk though, and do not be underage for drinking alcohol) and shopping for everything you want. You never hear of Blair's or Serena's parents getting them grounded for doing these things.
  • 6.Be confident. A gorgeous, privileged teenage girl would have no reasons to be insecure, and since you are aiming for her kind of lifestyle, you'll need loads of confidence to make it. Every time you feel down, do something you enjoy, like shopping or relaxing at a spa, for example. Find things you like about yourself and enhance them.
  • 7.Be a good student. In the world of people like Blair and Serena, getting excellent grades and being involved in extracurricular activities and charity is very important, as these are bonus points in getting into the college of your dreams and having a rewarding job and reputation later in life.
