Gossip Girl: February is the shortest month, but the bitter chill makes it feel the longest. The smart ones, like me, escape to more tropical climates.

Gossip Girl: On the Upper East Side, staying alive isn't as easy as it appears. And after last week's security breach leading to no new tips, it looks like I might be dancing by myself. Charlie (Kaylee DeFer): I've never seen so much lamé before. Grandma actually wore this? Lily: Yes. And looked fabulous riding…
