Gossip Girl Still Steeped in Steps

Huh.  Looks like Gossip Girl: The College Years is keeping with tradition.

By that we mean they're still dropping the girls into short skirts and making them sit realllllllllly awkwardly on random city steps.  Because, c'mon, it wouldn't be Gossip Girl if they sat in, oh, chairs?  Or benches?  No no.  It's ground or stand for these Upper East Siders.

Yesterday, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester (want that dress) filmed a scene on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
