Can there ever be justification for cheating on one another in a love relationship?
In certain cases, while not condoned, it is understandable. Especially if the pond you swim in is stocked with the young, intelligent, beautiful and gorgeous.
So much eye candy around. What is a wanderer with a sweet tooth to do?
Especially when the lollipop of affection is Blake Lively.
She was so perfect in Gossip Girl. Wait, Blake is perfect in everything.
Gossip Girl is an American teen drama television series based on the novel series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. Developed for television by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, it was broadcast on The CW network for six seasons from September 19, 2007, to December 17, 2012.
Narrated by the unknown, omniscient blogger “Gossip Girl” (voiced by Kristen Bell), the series revolves around the lives of privileged upper-class adolescents living in Manhattan‘s Upper East Side (UES).
The series begins with the return of Upper East Side teenage “it girl” Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) from a mysterious absence. She is reunited with her frenemy Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and her mother Lily (Kelly Rutherford).
She sure is the epitome of the “it” girl. Guys just can’t get enough of her and she them.
Even when she has a boyfriend or they have a girlfriend.
Who can blame them? These teenagers are just so good looking.
Gossip Girl received numerous award nominations and won 18 Teen Choice Awards.
Blake sure knows how to pick her vehicles to star in and she has been driving for a very long time. She was practically born in a movie star chair.
Her mother, Elaine, worked as a talent scout, and her father, Ernie Lively, was an actor.
Our gorgeous starlit made her professional debut in his directorial project Sandman (1998). She starred as Bridget Vreeland in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) alongside its sequel The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) to commercial success.
Her career sports car has plenty of gas.
She appeared in romantic-comedies New York, I Love You (2008) and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009).
Blake also starred opposite Ben Affleck in the crime thriller The Town (2010) and appeared alongside Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern (2011). She performed alongside an ensemble cast in Savages (2012) and garnered acclaim for portraying the titular character in romantic fantasy The Age of Adaline (2015).
You can see why the world of film goers love Blake. Count us among them.
What does Blake love?
Many things. Food being very prominent. Yes, we all love food only Blake takes it to a completely different level.
Our beauty has remarked that, when traveling, she always takes cookery classes to immerse herself in the local culture.
Blakey describes herself as a “foodie and cook”, and has said Martha Stewart is her “idol”.
She is also a fan of Nigella Lawson‘s work.
Nigella Lucy Lawson is an English food writer and television cook. In 1999 she hosted her own cooking show series, Nigella Bites, on Channel 4, accompanied by another best-selling cookbook.
In 2008, Blake baked a cake with Ms. Stewart during an episode of The Martha Stewart Show. Wish we could have sampled it.
Her popularity has spread into the area of endorsements.
As reported by fashionnetwork.com, “Actress Blake Lively has been tapped by cosmetics giant L’Oréal Paris to join Julianne Moore and Freida Pinto as a brand ambassador. Making her way to fame in TV series Gossip Girl, Blake Lively was the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle bags in 2011 and most recently has worked with Gucci for its Gucci Première fragrance.”
If you’ve seen the ads, Blake looks stunning.
In 2013, she appeared in a video clip for Gucci‘s “Chime for Change” campaign that aims to raise funds and awareness of women’s issues in the areas of education, health, and justice.
We read at their site, CHIME FOR CHANGE is a global campaign founded by Gucci in 2013 to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for gender equality. CHIME FOR CHANGE aims to inspire participation in a collective community, bringing people together across borders and generations in the fight for equality.
In addition, Blake has worked to heighten public awareness of missing and exploited children and on-going efforts of law enforcement on their behalf. A very worthy cause as the number of missing children around the world is staggering.
Here are just a few examples.
As shared by globalmissingkids.org:
In Australia, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year.
Australian Federal Police, National Coordination Centre.
In Canada, an estimated 45,288 children are reported missing each year.
Government of Canada, Canada’s Missing – 2015 Fast Fact Sheet.
In Germany, an estimated 100,000 children are reported missing each year.

National Crime Agency, UK Missing Persons Bureau.
In the United States, an estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year.

That is startling. In America, it would be as though a major city one day vanishes without a trace.
We’re glad that Blake keeps reappearing in one endorsement commercial, important cause and captivating movie after another.
For us, sometimes her characters are a guilty pleasure. Wait, most times they are.
Especially when she mesmerized us as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl.
Now we’re not saying that it is acceptable to fall in love with Serena van der Woodsen when you are already involved with someone else, but we can completely understand if you did.
XOXO, hugs and kisses.
