Gossip　GirlYou　Know　You　Love　Me

All　I　Want　is　Everything

“Scandal　is　gossip　made　tedious　by　morality。”

—Oscar　Wilde

Disclaimer：　All　the　real　names　of　places；　people；　and　events　havebeen　altered　or　abbreviated　to　protect　the　innocent。　Namely；　me。

hey　people！

Ever　wondered　what　the　lives　of　the　chosen　ones　are　really　like？

Well；　I’m　going　to　tell　you；　because　I’m　one　of　them。　I’m　not　talking

about　beautiful　models　or　actors　or　musical　prodigies　or

mathematical　geniuses。　I’m　talking　about　the　people　who　are　born

Wele　to　New　York　City’s　Upper　East　Side；　where　my　friends　and　I

home；　so　we　have　tons　of　privacy。　We’re　smart；　we’ve　inherited

classic　good　looks；　we　wear　fantastic　clothes；　and　we　know　how　to

party。　Our　shit　still　stinks；　but　you　can’t　smell　it　because　the

bathroom　is　sprayed　hourly　by　the　maid　with　a　refreshing　scent

made　exclusively　for　us　by　French　perfumers。

It’s　a　luxe　life；　but　someone’s　got　to　live　it。

Our　apartments　are　all　within　walking　distance　of　the　Metropolitan

Museum　of　Art　on　Fifth　Avenue；　and　the　single…sex　private　schools；

like　Constance　Billard；　which　most　of　us　go　to。　Even　with　a

hangover；　Fifth　Avenue　always　looks　so　beautiful　in　the　morning

with　the　sunlight　glimmering　on　the　heads　of　the　sexy　St。　Ju
