I thought Alexis Bledel would be a nice feature since I graduate this week (!), and when I was looking through my list of people to feature, and I saw her name and instantly thought of Rory's graduation from Yale.
Unlike most people, my first introduction to Alexis Bledel wasn't Gilmore Girls, but Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I was a bit of latecomer to Gilmore Girls, since I didn't start watching the reruns on ABC Family until probably 8th grade. I didn't start watching the new episodes until 9th grade, until the show was almost over.
While I liked Alexis in Sisterhood of the Travel Pants, I absolutely adored her in Gilmore Girls. She's so smart and witty, and just the kind of person that you want to be around. And I feel like that's not just her character. I feel like Rory Gilmore wouldn't be possible if they had used anyone but Alexis. Not to mention that she seems like such a sweetheart.

And, fun fact, but did you know that she speaks Spanish fluently? Her parents spoke Spanish at home, so she didn't learn English until she began school. Smart, talented, and pretty. I mean, what more can you ask for?

Also, this last photo clearly isn't from the same photoshoot as the rest of them, but it's my all-time favorite picture of Alexis, so I had to include it.
Alexis, can we please be friends?
The first four photos are from a photoshoot with Lorenzo Agius. The last photo is from Glamour.
Sorry again this post didn't go up yesterday, but I was absolutely exhausted.
