True feelings to Lorelai Gilmore

Hi,
must say I completely agree with everything TimK wrote about women’s beauty. Me and my girlfriend (wife soon) we love watching GG, and I do not show how much the beauty of the main characters strikes me, though I’m sure she knows. And the thing about what’s exciting about a woman - completely agree!!!

Great site and great article too! Thanks a lot

That’s okay, bayrose. I

Lorelai’s Versus Lauren’s Sense of Style

I’ve wondered how closely Lorelai’s sense of style matches with Lauren’s. I remember an interview with Amy Sherman-Palladino—I don’t remember where the interview was. She mentioned trying to find outfits that Lorelai would wear that Lauren would also wear. The implication was that Lauren does affect Lorelai’s personality. Hold on a sec… (sound of web pages flipping)…

Here it is, from TV Guide, quoted in Ask Ausiello:

Question: Just saw your story about Lorelai’s wedding dress in the new TV Guide and, to me, it looks ugly on her. Why did AS-P and Lauren choose it? — Stephanie

Ausiello: Well, I urge Gilmore Girls addicts everywhere to go pick up a copy of the new TV Guide magazine (on sale Thursday with NCIS on the cover) and judge for yourselves. I, personally, thought the dress was a little plain-Jane, but as AS-P pointed out, her mission was twofold: To find a dress that Lorelai would like and Lauren would wear. No easy task. “I wanted Lauren to feel pretty in it, [but at the same time] the dress Lorelai would wear and the dress Lauren would wear would be two completely different dresses. Lauren would probably wear something a little sleeker. Lorelai would wear something probably a little funkier.”

That’s Not Mia!

Oh, that’s a whole other subject, and don’t get me started! The character in last week’s episode was a completely different person than the person we saw in “The Ins and Outs of Inns.” Back in season 2, the Mia we met was quietly admirable, someone I very quickly made a hero and looked up to. The way she handled Emily, for example, with an Zen-like calmness, not trying to change Emily, acting out of pure kindness even in the face of hatred, without even a pinch of bitterness. I was truly left in awe.

And I was looking forward to seeing that character again. Throughout last week’s episode I kept searching for something, any little clue, that this is the same person. Yes, people change. Over years, a person changes in appearance and in behavior. But she’s still the same person underneath.

Last summer, I saw an old friend for the first time since he had moved across the country 5 years ago. It took me a few beats even to recognize him as the same guy! But once we got talking, it all came back. Of course it was the same guy! Yes, he had put on some weight. As I had. Yes, he had a beard. That was new. He even had new interests and attitudes. People change. But underneath, he was still the same friend I had learned to love all those years ago.

I couldn’t find that in the new Mia.

Today I Admit to My True Feelings for Lorelai Gilmore

I absolutley LOVE everything that Lorelai wears….I’m sure that Lauren’s sense of style has been brought out and incorporated into Lorelai. She wears just the most fabulous clothes and she is very beautiful. I thought the episode was just ok. I am not the only one, I found out, that hated the whole reason for the storyline. That was NOT Mia!!! That’s like subbing Bootsie out!! You can’t do that cuz we all know what Bootsie looks like along with his quirks and personality. Sorry, got off the subject….and on that note, I am done griping and p.s. I am in love with Luke Danes AND Scott Patterson (and I am married, I love my husband very very much, but there is something about Luke Danes and that backwards baseball cap that puts me over the moon). I would gladly be Luke’s Lorelai any day of the week….
