Notes: Man, back in October '08, this vid was my life. Then I forgot about it for a long time. A really long time. In fact, I'd given up on it ever working out and intended to delete it this afternoon, but lo, I discovered a hidden burst of inspiration, and ended up finishing the damn thing. There really is no point to this vid besides the celebration of one Miss Blair Waldorf. And shouldn't that be enough, really? Enjoy.

"Short Skirt, Long Jacket" by Cake
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

Nice work!!

That was super-cute! And the song is perfect for Blair. You edit really well, nice glimpses--if I see too much of a scene I want to hear what they're saying so flashes of different moments work so much better.

You gonna do anotha? Please!

Oh, Blair. How so awesome? I loved this! (Also, my icon reminds me that now I want a Gossip Girl/Merlin fusion where Morgana is totally Blair and...who cares about anyone else because the two of them are sisters from another mister.)

Oh, that was really well done. That song is perfect for Blair. ^____^

Totally sweet! Blair Waldorf + Cake is always going to be a winning combination. This song is so her. And there can never be enough vids of Blair owning everyone who crosses her path. I particularly liked the "I want a girl with shoes that cut/And eyes that burn like cigarettes" and the first "Who's fast and thorough/And sharp as a tack" sections. Great editing.

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm glad you wound up finishing the vid. <3
