a lively tale | yohana
Born August 25 1987 into one of those Californian showbiz families, Blake began what will surely become an illustrious career at the ripe old age of 13, before making her big break as ‘Bridget’ in the feel-good friendship flick of 2005, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (a film that tragically, but undeniably epitomised my early teenage years).
However, it is her starring role in the TV series Gossip Girl as Serena van der Woodsen that has really catapulted her to stardom. It is hard, in all fairness, not to covet the lifestyle of this spawn-of-the-upper-east-side-elite as they go about their dramatic, privileged and often sordid, days. And while Blake herself appears about as far from the sordid and elitist that one can be, she radiates such poise and grace (sorry, had to throw in a cliché), coupled with a wardrobe to die for, that it some how separates her from the pack. And let’s face it: leaves the rest of us with a touch of the, “dammit, I wish I was her”.
