Hi, this is Blair Waldorf~

I can't take your call right now because I am probably very busy, but I will get back to you as soon as possible --unless I don't like you. Laissez-moi un message après le bip! [Beep!]

CONGRATULATIONS~

To Donny Donowitz, Xerxes Break, Gilbert Nightlay, Kaname Kuran, and Gabriel Sylar.

After much deliberation, I have decided to hire all five of you for the following roles: Donny Donowitz as publicist for public events, Xerxes Break as publicist for invite-only events, Gilbert Nightlay as spokesperson for prospective clients, Kaname Kuran as accountant and Gabriel Sylar as chief accountant. I give Gabriel the authority to manage on my behalf.

Apologies for the delay. Any questions may be addressed here or to me privately.

( ooc note regarding deliberation )

Dear Serena van der Woodsen, Blue, Claire Bennet, Lisa Cuddy, Tony Foster, Gabriel Sylar, Rosella, Sam Witwicky, James Wilson, Peter Pevensie, Caspian, Arthur Pendragon, Thom Reston, Kanda Yuu,

You are hereby invited to Blair Waldorf's birthday soiree at her penthouse on November 17th.

Presents are not required although the dress code is; wear your color and only your color. Additional guests will need to be registered on the list beforehand. Répondez s'il vous plaît ♥


[ooc; it's like the Nobel prizes --who knows why their name's up there. I tried putting up people that Blair would want to invite, either because she's close to them, indebted to them, thinks she should invite them or she simply would like to have dinner with them. If, however, you think that your char should be up there but they're not, please do tell me! I'm a bit out of loops with poly atm so I may have missed some people. Throw me any other questions you may have too~ PS: pretend this is after midnight (Nov 6)]

~WANTED~
♦ ACCOUNTANT
Good with numbers, organized, hardworking, never satisfied with mediocrity, not mediocre, polished presentation, perfectionist, willing to do and give whatever it takes to get the job done. Don't even think of applying if you don't know what I mean when I say society. In return, you will get very high salary and excellent future prospects. Leadership qualities will be advantageous.

♦ PUBLICIST
Good with people, outgoing, good presentation (read: above average physical attractiveness), likable, resourceful, knows what people mean to have a good time and persuasive. Think: would win presidential election if they could just get themselves a proper degree. Very high salary offered and no set work hours as long as the job is done.

Reply here with your name, place where you're from and why you think you are suited for the job. I will peruse your applications at my leisure. Address any and all questions here too.

September is surely a busy month for your social calendars, but why waste time on frivolities when you can party for a good cause? In collaboration with the City Hospital, I present to you the City's very first charity ball on October 3rd~



Entry is complimentary with a donor's tag on your wrist --even better, a regular donor's card will earn you free flow Veuve Clicquot champagne.

Jovial entertainment will be the norm and hearty meals will be replacing the regular canapé. Dancing, laughing, eating and drinking will be done in plenty here, so let your hair down and have fun! Though this isn't to say that couture isn't allowed, after all this party will still be the place to see and be seen. Put this in your agenda: donate blood and get a red dress.

It's simply too bad if you don't have the heart for it ♥

Dear citizens, you are cordially invited to~

♦ Across the Universe ♦

The only thing stranger than there being other dimensions is the fact that despite it, we still have so much in common. We have sorrow, joy, laughter, love, all the things that make us human. And it is because of so wide a common ground that we have relative peace. So how is it that we have never celebrated it, 'til now?

Held in honor of the departed Miss Holly Golightly, this event is not to be missed. Mark your calendars, everyone, for September 7th.

This could be the very thing that's gonna change your world.

[ooc; tickets with steep prices to be assumed~ and for all those chars who'll be representing their supposed hometowns, the party planning will also be assumed. I'll put up a log on the day, as usual ♥]

So why party? Well, citizens, there are plenty of reasons.

Without celebration, even the most important of moments will pass by unnoticed. Birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, weddings even. Without the temporary opulence that parties allow us, we would be stuck with the misery of our poverty. Without parties, what excuse will we use to indulge? Where will we dance until our feet hurt? Or wear couture? Or eat canapé? Or drink champagne?

As they say, "Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)" ♥

On another note entirely, Morgana, we haven't finished speaking last time. How about brunch with S and I tomorrow~?

Everyone~ Serena and I would like to introduce to you the most amazing lady. Meet Holly Golightly. She is beautiful for sure, but she is also a genius. I must credit the following idea to her.

Quoting Maya Angelou: "We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color." Surely, some colors are aesthetically more appealing than others, but I agree with her for the most part. Diversity demands celebration~

Having said that, I'd like to take it a step further. Commonly we would put a mishmash of cuisines on the table and have the guests wear their traditional dresses, but we're doing better. The very hosts of the party should also be diverse.

I'll be representative of Manhattan, anyone else?

( private; hackable by permission )

Since we're obviously still awake and I've exhausted all my sheep and my list of "9 Entertaining Things To Do When You Can't Sleep", it's high time for plan B. You know what I'm talking about: an emergency soirée~

Bring yourself, movies and your own toothbrush and towel over to our penthouse. Everyone is invited unless your choice in sleepwear warrants an arrest by the Fashion Police, or unless you smell. Unfortunately for the gentlemen, this is strictly ladies only~ [edit]After some thought, ice cream, cookies and other gross foods are banned.

Why? Because I say so. Never mind. Everyone, male and female, are invited and food is allowed. Thank Serena.


[ooc; the private entry is basically hackable, but you need to let me know if your char has hacked it~ strikes aren't there.]

For those who haven't yet had the pleasure, I'm Serena van der Woodsen, but you can call me Serena --And yes, I'm of that van der Woodsen. Isn't it just fabulous?

It also happens to be my birthday soon, and everyone is invited. Don't forget~ July 14th at the beach, and wear white!

I know I said not to feel obligated to bring presents, but an advanced one would be much appreciated. Like, how about taking me out for some clean fun today? It's too nice a day to be staying in~ Anything that involves sunshine is preferred, but you know I never turn down shopping ♥~

[ooc: same as Serena~ body-swapped and trying to keep it seeekrit. Pretend this is Serena's network ID please ♥]

Worry no more, citizens, I am back and here to stay, definitely.

Having attended several events hosted by you, I have been made aware that no one else really knows how to throw a good party apart from yours truly. Having said that, before there were Blair's parties, there were Serena's. And you will be fortunate enough to be going to one soon. Keep your eyes and ears wide open for it ♥

And, I am currently hiring. I need capable assistants who are better at working than at complaining, meaning absolutely no complaining. Drop your resumes and I will peruse them at my leisure~ Got them.

Last but not least, a question: What makes being here bearable? With all the waiting, the ticking when you're alone, the curses, the being at the Deities' every whim, what makes it okay?

Just out of curiosity of course, not that there's any personal agenda to it.

Attention everyone!

My name is Blair and I seem to have lost my babysitter. If any of you would please tell my daddy, Harold Waldorf, Esq., of my predicament, I would be much indebted.

Also, one of you, come now and bring me over to Frederic Fekkai please. I have an engagement with him very soon and I don't want to be tardy. You know, I wouldn't curl my hair anywhere else, it would turn it frizzy and make it smell like Brooklyn, which is worse than being dead or fat.

So chop, chop! Get off your derriere and pick me up!


[ooc; so cursed (and of course she's showing off her SAT words). WATCH OUT FOR MORE UES BRATS COMING~ >3]

In honor of Prince Charles and Princess Serena of Far Far Away Kingdom, a dinner will be held in the Humphrey manor tonight.

Guests are expected to be in formal dress and dancing shoes. Dinner will commence at eight, and dancing will begin once dinner has been served. It is advised that those whose names are not in the invitation list as well as those with inappropriate dress may be refused entry.

That said, I look forward to meeting all of you~ ♥

( filtered to Dan )

[ooc; Duchess Humphrey aka evil-stepmom is go! Chuck's Crown Prince Charles, Serena's his half-sister and the Princess, Nate is the Fairy Godfather, and Dan is --yep, you guessed it, Dan-erella ♥]

Before anyone decides to come up with their own back story about recent events, I thought I might give you the facts myself:

Firstly, I am as straight as Anna Wintour's bangs after her daily haircut session. Which still means, I'm straight. Secondly, Serena van der Woodsen is my best friend forever and ever, Chuck Bass is not my boyfriend, and Nate Archibald is my boyfriend. I don't talk about my exes. Humphrey may be Serena's friend, god knows why, but definitely not mine.

Thirdly and lastly, the Midsummer Night party is still on. The play has been coming along wonderfully thanks to Neil Perry, and the party itself won't be easy to miss --not that any of you would miss it, of course ♥ Mark your calendars, June 21.

That said, I'm waiving the dress code. Wear it if you want, don't wear it if you don't want to. I couldn't care less as long as you come~


[ooc; Alison! I wasn't sure if they made it official or not, but either way, she's just making a statement so feel free to have Nate go WTF!? over it lol.]

Look here, Citizens! Christmas is coming earlier than scheduled~ On May 31, we will be celebrating a most exciting event:

The Grand Opening of Victrola

Exhibition is all well and good in those Underground sites (though prohibition is never good) but sometimes one gets a taste for something more decadent. Here is where Victrola comes in. Transport yourself to another time, let loose and set yourself free. Here there are no judgments, only pure escape and flagrant excess.

As they say: "What happens at Victrola, stays at Victrola."

You might think my previous attempts at revelry were good, but let me show you what it really means to have fun. After all, no one throws a party like I do --and no one turns up your wild side quite like Chuck Bass.


Don't miss it,
Blair ♥

[ooc; you know the drill~ if you've got money then you get in for free! Definitely invited: employees, friends of Chuck/Blair/Serena, rich/powerful/famous people a.k.a potential investors. Otherwise, you'll just have to get on your knees and beg, mmm~? No, really, just make up whatever scenario to make sure your char comes! ♥ No invites for sale this time, it's a private thingie. AND APOLOGIES FOR DROPPED TAGS, my internet just decided to die >:]

OMFG!

Our B is back in the City and she is living it loud. We spotted her making her rounds in the Underground: dancing away at the Warehouse, putting on acts at Circus Carnivore, draining pints at Club Automatica, and even flirting with all the hottest guys in The Raven. It isn't like our girl to be staying out so late and so far away from business, but could it be that B is finally learning how to party?

Tsk, tsk. I've always known you can't keep a bad girl down for long ♥

Have your cameras at ready for another appearance, readers, I need hard evidence to prove this is really our B.


You know you love me,

[ooc; of course it's irrelevant and it's more book!Blair than TV --but still I'm highly amused: TSK TSK FORBES]

Spotted!

S giving away her cherries like they were going out of date. Sundae, anyone? But that's not all. Word has it S was escorted to every watering hole by a new face (or is it an old one?). D insists she's nothing like our G but we heard she got a little out of control in C's living room. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? We all know G and C surrendered their virtues to each other long ago; let's hope young D isn't headed down the same slippery slope. Don't blame it on the deities, D, we know you kissed him first -- uncursed.

We spotted a truck bringing B a bookcase, a desk and chairs. A study room? Let's hope it's not at the expense of S's old quarters... She does seem to be getting along fine without her BFF. But with the gorgeous Prince A to take care of, who has time for girlfriends? It turns out that little date with M was a false alarm, although things seem a bit complicated between M, Doctor W and N. I think this one's a no-brainer; rich, older doctor or young, tortured poet? We've had enough of Lonely Boy --besides, guess who gets the goods when the old man's heart gives out? It's Society Living 101, M. Weren't you paying attention?

Another subject I love is History, and there's a lot of it between our P and I. Sadly, not a word has been spoken between them in weeks. Well, here's something for them to talk about: I spotted taking leave from R's balcony -- yes, P, the very R you've been gunning for, and my sources say she's looking for something more.

Cupcake girl C seen welcoming J into her apartment late at night. He sneaked off awhile after all clean and showered, but we still smelled the evidence on him. Is that what you call a virgin these days? I don't buy it, C, and neither will daddy.

[ooc; do talk amongst yourselves. GG's replies will be scarce, but blowing the rumors even more out of proportion is encouraged! --Also, if I stepped on toes, lemme know and I'll take it down ♥]
