Countess Dorota's Opinion on the Upper East Side

The Mean Girls

Nothing about this show is realistic. But sometimes we forget that: When Blair is cying about Chuck not saying back the three words, Chuck exploding at his father’s funeral … there are moments that are dramatic and tell us: This is important.

On the other side, there are comic elements in this series, too. Kati and Iz showing up every time in matching outfits reminds us: This is a show. There is a clothing departemenet behind this, with big wardrobes of all stuff you could wear.

Nevertheless, those mean girls is something each of us knows. We don’t have limos with bars in it, we don’t spend ten thousands of Dollars for cloth or flowers, and we have no private planes.

But mean girls in our enviroment we do have. So perhaps that’s important to show them as comic elements, and the unrealistic stuff, we wish, let’s admit it, to dream about, seriosly. Do you agree?

(PS: Serena’s characterization of them in S02E05: “These girls are like hummingbirds. They move from flower to flower. The’ll be on to someone else next week, and than back to you (Blair). It’s not a big deal.” So this is Serena’s opinion.)
