Blake Lively’s a Good Girl

Blake Lively (20) tells Cosmo that she was the class president and has kissed only three people!  How cute.  And how respectable, especially for a big (um, gorgeous) television star.  

“I’ve kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I’ve done for TV or movies,” she says. “I know – I’m weird! 

You’re not weird Blake!  You respect yourself, and we commend you.

Nanette Week on Elaney

Do you like or do you not?  We LOVE ruffles, but we think this dress looks a little young.  Either way, it’s on sale for 50% off.  Maybe a short person could pull it off, OR perhaps a good graduation dress for a high school student?
