I'm sorry for your lack of taste.


Wow you are so rude.

Katie was absolutely adorable as Joey!

I thought a big part of Joey’s character was that she was a talented striver with conflicted feelings about her family? She’s up and out. That was her whole thing?

Her taste is too sophisticated for a girl born on the wrong side of the tracks.


These people often mature quickly, and style doesn't require wealth.

Many of the world's most elegant super models came from modest or impoverished backgrounds.

Your theory is bunk.


+1. This is just another "I'm better than the poors" post.

It's not gross because they are not siblings. I was often confused as the "sister" of my boyfriends when I was a teen. People are often drawn to people who resemble them in some way.


Ew.

Crazy take. The one thing GG viewers unanimously agree upon is that Leighton was the perfect Blair. I think she's a fantastic actress. Who would you have cast instead?

I’m rewatching Dawson’s Creek and she looks and acts too elegant to be a working class girl with a deadbeat drug smuggler father.
