The original Queen B. No, not Beyonce, I’m talking about Blair Waldorf, queen of the Upper East Side in the fictional teen romance, "Gossip Girl." Anyone who watched the show in their early adolescent days remembers Blair’s perfectly witty retorts and trying to emulate her Ivy League prep school style, with plaid and endless amounts of headbands. Not to mention her perfect eye roll that I, personally, have integrated into my own everyday life.
Blair is an icon, a legend, a queen. Her manipulative schemes combined with her heartfelt insecurities made her the heart and soul of the show, and "Gossip Girl" would certainly be nothing without Queen B. However, for those of you who may live under a rock, I have compiled a list of wonderful Blair gifs and quotes to not only educate you, but to inspire you to be your very best Blair self.
1. She exudes incredible confidence and knows her worth.
2. She is fiercely determined and refuses to back down from her goals, no matter what.
Anyone who gets in Blair Waldorf's way regrets it.
3. She knows the importance of hard work.
Blair is completely aware of the fact that everything she wants in life is attainable if she works hard and is dedicated to making things happen.
4. Who run the world? Blair.
5. The girl really knows how to accessorize.
6. Retail therapy, anyone?
7. Blair knows exactly what she deserves in a relationship, and so should you.
Don't waste any time on someone who wouldn't support you, or move mountains for you. They certainly don't deserve you.
8. That being said, keep those people out of your life by just moving on.
You'll be OK. In fact, you'll thrive.
9. Blair don't need no man, and neither do you.
10. She knows she's irreplaceable.
No one else can be Blair but Blair, just how no one can do what you do or be what you are.
11. She knows the importance of a good trip.
I'm feeling stressed. Anyone want to go to Paris with me?
12. It wouldn't be a real Blair Waldorf life advice post if I didn't include her signature eye roll.
This one even has her fake smile, too. Use at family dinners, social gatherings with your own Georgina Sparks, and when you can't handle the incompetence of the minions around you.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to binge-watch all of "Gossip Girl" on Netflix. Embrace your inner Queen B.
xoxo,
gossip girl
