Is watching Gossip Girl your guilty pleasure? We all have one… (for me, it’s Project Runway at the moment) and we know plenty of you enjoy this show which is premiering its third season on Monday September 14, 2009. Why not throw together a premiere-watching party for the girls? Our girlfriend Jen Luby of Second City Soiree is having a bash in Chicago, but she also has tips for having your own at-home Gossip-Girl-inspired party, complete with episode-inspired menu ideas. Check it out here. A true GG devotee, Jen has even relaunched her blog devoted to commenting on the fashion on the show, YouKnowYouLoveFashion.

If you can’t manage a get-together for the premiere, remember that TV-watching parties are a great excuse for a girls night anytime! They give you a built-in activity and plenty to chat about. Plan ahead for the premier of your favorite show or an award show (The Primetime Emmy Awards are coming up on September 20). Our Awards Show Mania party will give you some inspiration.
