The Headband Project, a campaign to bring back the fierce 글쓰기 and characterization that has been sorely lacking from Gossip Girl for some time, especially for the female characters. The show has created some of the most interesting characters of our time, which is a major reason we got hooked on the show. But now it seems what made these characters great has been thrown out the window, and this bothers us immensely.
Blair, Serena and Jenny used to be the epitome of feminism but now, not only are they dumbed down, they're being treated as weaklings. That is the reason we chose this name for the campaign. Blair was once 퀸 bee and the headbands were her crown. Many 팬 would go as far as saying those are the 출처 of her power. However she's now written solely as the dethroned queen, the outcast in NYU, the whiny and immature spoiled brat among her friends. She is punished and mocked and lectured at every turn. And it just so happens that B rarely wears headbands anymore. Coincidence? We think not.
Metaphorically and literally speaking, we want the headbands back. We want our fierce Blair Waldorf back.
It's not just the Gossip girls suffering from bad characterization. Chuck is suddenly the wise, stable one in his relationship, friendships, and business. Nate is such a wallflower these days, guest stars enjoy 더 많이 screen time and character development than he does.
Why are the writers destroying and neglecting the characters we have grown to 사랑 (or hate)?
The storylines are too plot-driven, repetitive, rushed, and don't get any real closure. They are 더 많이 focused on creating hyped-up OMG moments and bringing in celebrity guest stars that actually get 더 많이 screen time than most of the main characters.
Gossip Girl herself has been MIA lately. She's only sent a few minor blasts, but other than that she hasn't made a big impact on the plotlines. The allure of an anonymous blogger dishing 스캔들 from the Upper East Side doesn't quite work without her. What's the point of her anymore, then?
We are not the only ones who feel this way. Critics have said similar things. The buzz about the show is dying down and the ratings are declining. Something has to be done. We want to let the writers, producers, directors, and show execs to know that GG could do so much better.
Don't get us wrong, the last thing we want is for Gossip Girl to get cancelled. We are just concerned, passionate 팬 who want the best for the show.

Hilary Duff has left the building. The actress has concluded her run on Gossip Girl as Olivia Burke and there are no plans for her to come back this season.
That much was kind of expected after this week's episode and the aftermath of the now-infamous threesome. Olivia doubted Dan's feelings for her and left NYU.
But here's some other couples scoop E! Online just unearthed:
* Dan and Vanessa, as foreshadowed in "The Last Days of Disco Stick," are most definitely on. They will be getting together this season.
* Ditto Nate and Serena, who will become a bona fide couple.
* Rufus and Lily will have a major problem (Serena's father).
* Chuck and Blair will be going strong.

Well, at least regarding what it says about a person: “What a woman wears says a whole lot about her confidence,” Penn tells Cosmopolitan.
Penn includes sweater dresses and V-necks amongst his 가장 좋아하는 items to see on any woman: "A sweaterdress really can be the sexiest thing."
"As a man, I just like the simpler things,” says the Gossip Girl star. “A plunging V-neck looks like she pulled it off the floor of a man’s bedroom."
"There’s something so sensual about it.”
Penn Badgley is even a 팬 of fall’s hottest shoes, the over-the-knee boot. “If a strong, secure girl wears thigh-high boots, it can be stunning and powerful.”
At least Blake knows her on-screen friend and off-screen 사랑 appreciates her style! Not that it's a huge chore for him to be dating Blake Lively, we imagine.
It had been too long, we were starting to wonder.
Blair and Serena haven't been involved in a nuclear fight in a good while now, but Michael Ausiello of EW says it's just a matter of time until that changes.
Here's what he has to say in his weekly Q&A ...
Q: I’m tired of some people bitching about Gossip Girl being in some kind of creative slump 또는 funk this year. I’m loving this season. Got any good scoop?
A: I’m (mostly) loving this season, too. The Chuck-Blair stuff continues to be immensely satisfying. And Hilary Duff isn’t as annoying as I predicted.
On the scoop front, there’s a big Blair-Serena blow-up coming. The frenemies will definitely be on the outs for a little bit.
What do 당신 think it's all about?

Watching Chuck and Blair actually make it as a couple has been one of the biggest treats of this Gossip Girl season's first four episodes. But will it last?
