Oooh, that's one of my all time favorite Lorelai pics. Her hair has never looked better than it does in that photograph, IMO. The eyes don't...y'know...suck.

Temp

I agree on that pic. She looks amazing, hair, smile, eyes, everything. It reminds me of Katie Holmes S5 promo pics for DC. But we don't talk about that show anymore (by we, I mean me...thanks you know who ).

Everytime I see another picture of her she looks better and better. It's crazy.
