What is up with the Gossip Girl scarf thing?

September 8th, 2008 | Selling on eBay

Ok, I'm showing my age. I have managed to keep up with what is trendy for a while now, but I have fallen behind. What is this Gossip Girl thing? Wikipedia says:

The Gossip Girl series revolves around a group of teenagers, three of whom live on the fabulous Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. They gossip, but they also deal with sex and relationship problems. They attend elite private single-sex schools, where their lives are watched by the unseen title character who writes a blog about them.

Now I know why I don't watch it. I've already been a teenager, already lived in New York (fabulous Brooklyn Heights), actually that's about where it ends for me. Unless I had an unseen title character blogging about me...

That's just a little creepy. So anyhow, I found the Gossip Girl scarf on eBay is selling for an ungodly amount. I'm no fashionisto, but I'll bet if you could get your hands on some of those, you'll be in deep cotton through the holiday season. That's your eBay trend tip for the day.
