Well, obviously. Their are lots of people that live on the Upper East Side, and these are not the upper echelon of them...Gossip Girl (albeit a fictional show) is portraying the lives of some of THE richest and well known families on the UES...not just random people that live there, that are still wealthy but no where near the wealth shown on the show...so of course there's a BIG difference!

@juniorjuice88 @juniorjuice88 Um. I actually go to these schools in Upper East Side. You have to understand Constance is fictional, but it's actually based on these kind of exact schools. "THE richest and well known families" DO go to the exact same schools -- (I know someone who's stepdad is the head Rockefeller) but it's still not exactly like Gossip Girl. I know those girls, and yeah, they party, hook up, etc. But they never cut school and they also don't drink or smoke -- THAT much.

@DREZxo major lol. good one. haha

[DREZxo]

these girls are not OLD MONEY kids, like the ones in Gossip Girl. I think they would be more like Penelope, Hazel, Nelly Yuki, and just more the kids of lawyers and stuff that go to private schools. While, Blair, Serena, Chuck, and Nate are all heirs to like incredible fortunes, and they have trust funds, and unending limits on their credit cards.

@nellynana7 Right. You can tell the difference between new money and old money because new money tend to like to flaunt labels, when that really just makes them look extremely ghetto lol. If you REALLY want to look wealthy, you should wear clothes that only other truly fashion-savvy people know about, without having to look at a name.
