Even though it was two sizes too small; Isabel still clung to the dress as if her life depended on
it。 ?Well; maybe I don?t want it for graduation。 Maybe I have a party to go to or something。?
As if she got invited to secret parties that Blair didn?t know about。
Today was opening day for the Browns of London trunk show in the main ballroom at the St。
Clair Hotel; and this particular group of Constance Billard senior girls had all cut homeroom to be
there。 What better way to find the dress that had been sampled in England but never sold in New
York?the perfect; coveted; one…of…a…kind graduation dress。 The only problem was that their
graduation dresses had to be all white; and most designers shy away from all…white dresses so as
not to invoke unsexy images of baby christenings and Little Bo Peep。
Not to mention wedding gowns。
?Too bad this one has a train;? Kati Farkas mused; holding up a snowy; puffy…sleeved satin
number by Alexander McQueen that looked like the dress Sleeping Beauty had worn to bed when
she slept for a hundred years。
?Ew;?Isabel sniffed。 ?The train is definitely not the only thing wrong with it。?
The trunk show consisted of fifty…eight racks of dresses?including ball gowns; cocktail dresses;
wedding and brides…maid dresses; skirts; blouses; cardigans; and capri pants; two hat racks; and
even a rack full of tiaras; veils; and scarves。 The clothes were gorgeous and exquisitely made; but
the girls were not being gentle with them。 Clothes were strewn all over the claret…colored carpet;
and the usually glamorous; gilt…accented ballroom looked like the walk…in closet of a
fashion…crazed Upper East Side?dwelling Manhattan society hostess in a
pre…getting…dressed…for…a…benefit alcoholic frenzy。
The throng of graduation…dress…hunting girls fell silent for a moment as a tall blond girl with
enormous dark blue eyes pushed open the door to the ballroom and handed her white…and…green
leather Louis Vuitton Calla Lily stuff sack over to security。 Behind her stood a tanned boy with
wavy golden brown hair and glittering green eyes。
?I bet they?re late because they had to get a room first;? Rain giggled; nudging Nicki Button in
the ribs。 Over the weekend; Rain and Nicki had gotten Japanese hair straightening treatments
together; and their dark brown hair looked unnaturally straight and glossy; like it had been glued
on by specialists from Madame Tussaud?s wax museum in London。
?Look。 Blair is totally pretending she didn?t see them e in。 Oh my God; and Serena is; like;
walking right up to her!? Laura Salmon whispered shrilly。
Their arms full of dresses; the other girls followed Serena van der Woodsen with their eyes as she
floated toward a rack of elegant…but…still…a…little…dorky straw sun hats two feet away from Blair
and began to try them on。
?Nice;? Nate Archibald mented unenthusiastically from where he slouched against the wall;
looking more brooding and introspective than usual。 This was the sort of trunk show where;
instead of waiting in line forever for the two private changing rooms; most girls stripped down in
between the racks to try things on。 But Nate was the most desirable boy on the Upper East Side。
Girls got naked at the snap of his stoned fingers; and it was still he who got ogled; not them。 It was
