My Leading Lady

Lorelai Gilmore/Lauren Graham

I'm fairly certain that their isn't a person in the world who can say they don't like Lorelai, for the simple fact that she is so lovable. Her sweet nature and sharp sarcasm can win over even the most cynical of people. Lets face it she the kinda Mom we all wish we had. The way she chose to raise her daughter so that she could be an individual rather than sticking with her rich parents who would easily turn her into another step-ford drone. Don't get me wrong I love Rory but occasionally she gets on my nerves which is why Lorelai takes the prize. I should also point out that even though Emily is a whole new level of infuriating a part of me can't help but love her, especially as the show progresses. But anyway back to the lovely Lorelai, I gotta say she damn fine too. The complete package, and you also have the added bonus of knowing that where ever she is, coffee is never far behind.

My Weekly Addiction

Gilmore Girls

I'm not ashamed to say that Gilmore Girls is still one of my guilty pleasures. There's something about that small town and the quirky mother/daughter relationship that keeps me hooked. I'm sure there's not a woman or girl alive who does not crave the connection that Lorelai and Rory have. Their timeless banter and insane obsession with all things that resemble food and coffee, especially coffee, create the foundations for what is a great show. It's virtually unique in the fact that it relies on emotions and relationships rather that explosions, violence and generally dramatic events. I must also confess I adore the town in which they live, sleepy stars hollow creates this atmosphere that you can't help but crave from your own humble abode. The intimacy between residents and the way they always look out for one another, is something rarely seen. Of course I can't forget the wonder that is Luke's diner and it's endless supply of delicious looking food. Just watching makes me hungry.
