The red-hot actress may be known for turning heads in couture and never leaving home without her adorable pooch, Penny, but here we have some ten extra-juicy facts about Serena Van Der Woodsen. XOXO.
1. She likes to eat cookies, ahem, for breakfast. Her favorites come from Southampton-based Tate's Bake Shop.
2. Move over, Tim Gunn! Blake is hooked on Project Runway, and wants to advise future contestants. Just picture her exclaiming, "Make it work!"
3. She has varying styles dedicated to different parts of the world. "I'll have ostrich feather skirts that I'll wear only when I'm in Paris," Blake explains. "Or high-waisted beaded shorts, that are mint green, that I would never wear in New York City."
4. Her favorite French phrase is "ou le vent me port," which translates to "wherever the wind takes me."
5. During breaks on the Gossip Girl set, she whips out her iPad and peruses boards on Pinterest. A recent favorite find is this watermelon porcupine.
6. A Blake Lively fashion line could be on the horizon, and she'd actually design it herself. "I have such respect for [fashion] that I don't just want to hire someone to do a line and put my name on it," she says.
7. Like everyone else, she has embarrassing high school photos. "I just saw my homecoming photo, and I thought, 'That is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life,'" admits Blake.
8. Adventurous and independent, Blake has ventured on a South African Safari solo.
9. Her enviable fashion isn't just reserved for the red carpet. "I'll literally be home alone and put on a pair of Louboutins, and just cook a yummy meal," Blake confesses.
10. If she weren't famous, Blake would actually skip through Disneyland, sans her disguise hat. When she visits the amusement park, she claims to be like a "dog with his tongue out the window."
11. "I once heard someone say that I'm similar to Paris Hilton. What a dumb thing to say! I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables and I don't like sex tapes."
12. “People think I’m goofy,” she says. “I don’t have that whole Angelina Jolie air to me. I wish that I did, and that’s an insecurity of mine. Some days, I wake up, and I’m like ‘Oh, I look good to day!’ And some days, I wake up and feel like I look like a tranny.”
13. “But seriously, I haven’t been in many relationships. I don’t want to date someone just to date someone. I want to be with a guy who’s going to better my quality of life and better me.”
14. "When I’m in a relationship, I give my heart and soul to it and do it 100 percent.” Turns out, she has some pretty specific requirements for the man in her life: “If a guy can play Guitar Hero with me and sit at home and watch the Food Network and read magazines with me, that’s good. I don’t think there are many guys that’s fun for. It’s a lot to ask.”
