Gossip Girl is and was one of the most influential shows of the 2000s: It spun off a reboot , launched multiple stars into the spotlight, and its popularity is probably the reason we got edgier fare like Euphoria . But everybody knows its true cultural impact is changing the way an entire generation talked about going to bathroom. So, why is nobody asking Blake Lively about “Go Piss Girl”? Lively’s Vogue cover story came out on August 7 and, gotta say, we still have questions.
What’s her relationship like with Taylor Swift or Ryan Reynolds ? Why doesn’t she have a stylist , and what was she thinking when she got married on a plantation ? We don’t get any insight into It Ends With Us , the Colleen Hoover adaptation she is currently promoting, or her cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine or — most importantly — what it’s like to be the inspo behind everybody’s favorite bathroom saying. We don’t even get a quote about coming up with the COVID-themed, Go Piss Girl meme she posted one time in 2020. The story is, instead, more concerned with the ways in which the A Simple Favor actress is a “movie star.
” She is compared to Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn while being described as “beautiful,” “breezy,” and “thoughtful,” likened to a “fast-moving river.” It is noted that “her ear jewelry sparkles in the light,” that she has on “three jeweled bracelets,” that she “plays with the big blue ring,” and that “light glints from another ring.” And yet, when all is said and done, and the “movie star” has burned out, legacy will be the thing that embeds itself into our popular consciousness.
For Blake Lively, that means “i have to pee.”.
