Fresh Meat 03: Chace Crawford.

Ever since ETC moved to basic TV, I have been sufficiently teased by the trailer of Gossip Girl. I have a history of patronizing juvenile dramas. In my teens I religiously watched Beverly Hills 90210. I have the original DVD sets of the first three seasons of The O.C. as well as the sophomore year of One Tree Hill. The O.C. was pulled from the air more than a year ago and it seems that GGirl ---I think that is how fans refer to the show--- is the nearest thing to a disciple/substitute.

.

One other reason why I am very eager for GGirl to premiere is that I know it stars Chace Crawford. Who is Chace Crawford? I hardly know anything about the guy except that some pictures of him recently surfaced in the internet. The photos are interesting because the guy is beautiful and shirtless. The only other thing I know about him is that he also starred in the teen vampire movie The Covenant with yesterday's blog subject, Taylor Kitsch (Must Blow 48, Mr February). He is one of the vampires to whom I'll willingly offer my neck. I'll let him suck my blood only after he lets me suck his cock, of course. He he.

.

Last night I had the very first opportunity to watch an episode of GGirl. I was in the gym last night, on the treadmill as usual, when the show started. Ever since coming back from Boracay shedding off the three pounds that I gained during my four days of vacation is high up in my agenda. So it is cardio, cardio, yoga and cardio for me.

.

Anyway, back to GGirl and Chace. I lost my earphone a two weeks ago and so could only watch the show on my screen but not hear the dialogue. I had to take a break and then go to the reception desk to borrow an extra pair of earphones. So, I got to tune in only after about 20 minutes of the show have gone.

.

Anwyay, back to GGirl and Chace. Really.

.

One of the pleasant surprises on the show is Matthew Settle, who plays father to one (or two) of the teenagers in the show. I have a crush on Settle way back when he was in Band of Brothers. I was briefly happy when he was in Brothers and Sisters, only to be later disappointed when Rob Lowe came in as the new love interest of Kitty Walker. Settle is still hot. I wanted him to remove the shirt he was wearing on the scene so that I could have a glimpse of his broad and firm chest. Haaay. I'm melting with the thought.....

.

To my utter disappointment, the show started and ended without even a peep on the handsome face of Chace. What??!! I thought he plays a major role in the show. How come an episode went by without even a shadow of him being shown on the camera? Is this like Ian Somerhalder on Lost, part 2? Is this another disgraceful and unjustifiable underusage of a handsome young actor? Should I brace myself for this?

.

I guess the episode I saw is one of the early episodes in the series and the season. Maybe the characters are slowly being introduced to the viewers and it isn't Chace's turn yet. Maybe when he gets in the scene he will make a splash. I resolved to watch the next few episodes and let the show slowly unravel. Chace is so pretty he is very much worth the wait.

This is what I like best about blogging. I get to gush about people and shows that otherwise I would not have the opportunity to do so. Will I ever admit to my friends, officemates or fellow lawyers that I watch Gossip Girl? How would the conversation start: Pare, cute ni Chace Crawford, no? Hehe.

.

I noticed, too, that for two straight days I blogged about two guys who were in The Covenant. The young hunk supposedly launched in that film is Steven Strait. Where is he now?

American television, of course, does not have a monopoly of cute young guys. Philippine TV has its own stock of delectable young men to offer. One of them is Bruno Folster. This morning I found his pictures in a new photoblog that I just discovered here in blogspot. I will feature them later so as not to steal Chace's thunder.

.

I rarely see Bruno on television. With a face and body like that, one can't help but ask why such is the case.
