When I grow up...

I want to be Lily Van Der Woodsen Bass Humphrey!

Lily has always been my favorite character on Gossip Girl. Don't get me wrong I love Blair, Serena, Chuck et al, as much as anyone else would. But I've noticed that many girls idolize Blair. I believe all the aspire to is to be spoiled with a matching wardrobe.

While they want to be more like Blair, I want to be more like Lily. She is poised, polished, and smart.

Here's what makes Lily so great:

- She's had a number of divorces, the father of her children abandoned her, and her husband died (Bart Bass). She held her own and in the end she got together with the love of her life, Rufus.

- She chose Bart over Rufus in season one so her children would have a proper family and home.

- She is mother to Serena Van Der Woodsen. I think we all can agree that Serena is quite a handful.

- She adopted Chuck. And here's to thinking no one could ever love him (except for Blair).

- At one point, Lily ran Bass Industries - a multi-million dollar business.

- She was on house arrest, and dealt with it gracefully.



She did ALL that whilst looking her very best. Did I mention she owns an impressive collection of handbags?
