Hey everyone! Lucy is our very first Dan & Serena FOTM, congratulations girl! :)
1. Congrats hun, you won the very first Derena FOTM! How do you feel?
- Wow, the first one? I feel very honored and honestly quite undeserving. I'm not entirely sure why I won this title
considering there are many much more hardcore Derena fans out there but I won't complain. Sorry guys, your turn will come. haha.
2. Are they your favorite Gossip Girl couple?
- Actually no. *hides* That honor belongs to Chuck and Serena. Anyone who knows me knows that Cherry is my ship but Derena is up there as well.
3. What song reminds you most of Dan & Serena?
- This may be totally cliche but I have to go with 'She's So High' by Tal Bachman. One of the charms of Derena is the Princess and the Pauper element. He has spent his entire adolescent life loving her from afar but realizing that because of their stations in life, it most likely will never happen...When it DOES happen, it makes it that much better. Derena is going on their fourth season but I still get the impression that Dan will always think of Serena as his dream girl. Awwwww.
4. How do you feel about Penn & Blake?
- I adore, adore, adore them. They are my favorite celebrity couple for a few reasons that I shall list to you: they've been together for so long and you never get the impression there is trouble at home, they are beautiful together, their candids are the most adorable things ever (Penn kissing Penny, anyone?), and I find it so funny that she was upset when he was cast as Dan..How little she knew.
5. Do you ship Dan or Serena with anyone else?
- I'm the biggest multi-shipper around and I ship Serena with all three leads and Dan with Vanessa as well as Serena. I ship Derena over Danessa and Serenate but as mentioned earlier, Cherry takes the top spot. Though, lets get real, the odds of that happening are slim to none.
6. Pick One!
Dan or Serena?
- Dan
Derena or Blenn?
- Blenn!!!
Season 1 or 2?
- As a whole or for Derena? As a whole, season 2 for sure but for Derena, season 1.
Dan with Blair or Vanessa?
- One ship I adore, one ship I never want to see grace my screen. Dan with Vanessa, NO DOUBT.
Serena with Nate or Carter?
- Serena with Nate. I hate Carter and want no excuse for him to be on the show.
7. What are your other favorite TV couples?
- JATE! If you aren't familiar, acquaint yourself.
Any Chuck Bass couple
Barney and Robin
Desmond and Penny
Clark and Lois
Ryan and Taylor and many, many more.
8. Your favorites?
Derena scene of all time?
- Can I say the entire episode of Hi Society? SO many great moments in that, but I guess if I have to choose, it would be the ultimate Derena moment. You know what I'm talking about.. The dip n' kiss.
Derena kiss?
- since I already went with the dip n'kiss I'm going to say the Aaron who? one in 2x14. I've said this before and I will say it again, Penn and Blake are THE best kissers on the show. Their kisses, not looking at the context but the actual kiss, are unparalleled. I love that one and I think it's under appreciated.
Song?
- It's always changing but I'll stick to the GG theme and say 'Kiss me at the Gate' by The New Monarchs. That song is awesome, it's just such a shame it was wasted on a Dan and Ms. Carr moment.
Movie?
- Gladiator
TV show?
- LOST and Gossip Girl
9. If you could erase any Gossip Girl scene, what would it be?
- Oh my gosh... Anyone who knows anything about me will know exactly what scene comes to mind.. Say it with me..*in unison* THE NAIR CHURCH KISS! So wrong on sooooo many levels, I can't even go there.
10. Do Derena remind you of any movie couple?
- Not particularly. I guess any teen movie where the nerdy guy is in love with the popular girl. Can I just state, raise your hand if you wish the nerds at your school looked like Dan Humphrey. *raises hand*
11. If Serena isn’t with Dan, you want her to be with?
- CHUCK! Actually I don't think they'd work as a full on couple, so it would really be Nate. Who am I kidding, it would be Chuck.
12. If Dan Isn’t with Serena, you want him to be with?
- Vanessa. The only downside to Derena is that I really, really, adore Danessa.
13. What are your interests, movies, TV shows.. ?
- My interests? Chuck Bass, Matthew Fox, Ed Westwick, and Jack Shephard. Yeah, that about covers it.
14. Who do you want to be the next FOTM, and why?
- Oh gosh, too hard. I think my online bestie C (clm-anomaly) or the other Lucy (brittlegirl) should get the honor. They are the biggest Derena shippers that I know of. But I'm sure there are many deserving and I'll be happy to interview next month's lucky winner!
