Y'all ever been to a guerrilla fashion show? Well, slip on those Louboutins because Jenny and Agnes cordially invite us to one. What. An. Epic. Moment. You're in for a treat, Upper East Siders. In other news, we are officially launching the "Dan Mind Your Business" challenge, while we watch Blair not mind her business and it's actually a good thing for once. Side stories include: Justice for JT Yorke (Yes, from Degrassi, sigh. Just listen). Send us a text Follow us on Instagram (@DorotaDiarie...
This is a big one, y'all! Join us as we watch Little J duke it out once more with Eleanor Waldorf herself. We can't say we endorse what Jenny's doing, but dang do we love to see it. We could not get through this episode without the three A's: Agnes, Aaron, and poor, sweet Arthur. Strap into the portal, kids, we're heading to the Ikea Art Installation in Brooklyn.

Gather 'round, Upper East Siders! Be home by curfew for dinner because we need to help make an evil billionaire and his self-absorbed wife's dreams come true. It's the van der Woodsen-Bass family shindig in which they will be debuting as a "close family" to the outside world. However, we know that inside, things are... a little complicated to say the least. Bring your warm, fuzzy family memories and PLEASE don't forget your underwear!

What person, real or imagined, living or dead, would you most like to have dinner with? We'll wait. In the meantime, let's take the Amtrak down to ol' New Haven, Connecticut with our prep school pals. Unfortunately, the S & B beef crosses state lines at a very inconvenient time. Nate predictably scopes out the women of Yale, while Chuck scopes out the weird children of the corn (finance bro sons) of Yale. Dan is as neurotic and unprepared as ever. Will our Constance-St. Jude's kids really...
As the great David Bowie once sang: "Fashion! Turn to the left. Fashion! Turn to the right." It's fashion week in New York City, baby! Blair's got a big job to do backstage at the Eleanor Waldorf show while Serena bucks tradition for her moment on the catwalk of all places. We have a new, hot designer on the prowl and it's our very own Little J. The unlikely pairing of Dan and Chuck are hanging out like multiple times? Also, Lily has a thing for rat paintings. Hurry up and press play on this ...
We made it, y'all. It's the first day of senior year! Are you a victim or a project? Some people, like Serena and Dan, are both. Join us as we navigate the choppy water that is post-breakup life. We also have Chuck vs. Blair, Vanessa vs. Nate, and Lily vs. Rufus (ugh) in the same boat. Another breakup is on the horizon, but we guarantee you did NOT see this one comin'. Hit play and let's go out to brunch together (instead of, you know, actually going to class). Send us a text Follow us on Ins...
Happy New Year, Upper East Siders! We hope the start of 2025 is treating you well and, if not, at least we have the greatest trust fund babies of all time to keep us company! It's freezing outside right now, but the sidewalks are hot and steamy in this episode. It's summertime and school is almost back in session. A blackout brings sex, lies, and truth to the surface. Fingers crossed that Lord Marcus and his weird ass stepmom are gone when the lights come back on... Send us a text Follow us o...
Lords and Duchesses and Affairs, oh my! Unfortunately, summer break is coming to a close for our dear friends of the Upper East. Will loose ends be tied up in a perfect bow come the fall? Join your ol' pals Maria and Talea as we laugh our way out of the Hamptons (via the Jitney, of course) and bid farewell to the dog days of summer.

You know what they say, Upper East Siders. "April showers bring season 2 of The Dorota Diaries!" Or was it something totally different? We don't know and WE DON'T CARE.

Here comes the bride, Upper East Siders! Spring is here and the flowers are in bloom in everybody's hair. While one couple ties the knot, another looks like they're on the verge of a breakup.

Blair and Jenny's final battle is here, Upper East Siders, and it's a problematic doozy! And while Asher might not have a sack of hot dogs this week, he DOES have a sack of SECRETS — and so does ERIC!!! Meanwhile, Serena hasn't shaken Georgina, who is now going by Sarah and charming the gullible-ass pants off of Dan and Vanessa. Georgina vs. Serena, Blair vs. Jenny, Lily & Rufus vs. being a good parent — who will win?? And WHO killed JFK? Tune in to find out! Send us a text Follow us on I...
It's SAT time for our favorite private school crew! While Dan chooses to read every SAT prep book known to man, Blair copes with her stress by leaning on her 'ol bullying ways. Serena wants to do well, but with Georgina in town we're not so sure how that's gonna work out for our favorite bad girl gone good. Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Jenny continues to be the worst person on the planet, but at least she likes hot dogs. Other noteworthy things: a hot new couple (according to Talea) and an importa...
Team Blair or Team Jenny? You've gotta decide, Upper East Siders! Mark the date and time because Jenny has pushed our buttons so much in this episode that we may, for the very first time, empathize with Rufus' POV. Shocking, we know...

Rumors are lighting up the hallways of our favorite private school for girls and (gasp!) a few of our favorite friendships may not survive it. What does survive is decades-long misogyny and slut-shaming! Gen Z — you can bring back the 00s style, but we beg of you to let this part stay in the archives. If we were you, our first response would be to listen to this episode on a lovely, clear blue day! #IYKYK Send us a text Follow us on Instagram (@DorotaDiaries) or shoot us an email at yky...
Splish splash, y'all! A fun night at the uh... school swimming pool (smdh) goes horribly awry. Word gets back to the new headmistress and she did not come to play with these privileged youths.
