Gilmore Girls - Lorelai/Lauren Appreciation #136 ~ 'Cause we love her unconditionally

dramaqueen125 · 08-07-2006, 11:18 PM

Welcome to the Lorelai/Lauren Appreciation Thread #136!

Banners from Mily at stars-hollow.org...THREE cause one's just not enough!

Lauren is loramful!
Loramful. Confused? Well don't be. It's all about Lauren Graham. As we were talking about Lauren the word amazing keep coming up when about her acting abilities. But it doesn't nearly do her enough justice, so Kari (dramaqueen125) and Carolyn (lukelover87) decided to come up with a word that finally would and was just for her. So loramful was born. Lor-Lorelai, am-amazing, and ful-wonderful. Finally a word that does our favorite actress justice!

We invite everyone to take advantage of Lauren's growing and dedicated fanbase by taking part in the Lauren Graham Board for more Lauren-centered discussions. There is now a Lauren Graham Appreciation thread very similar to this one there for your enjoyment.

Thanks Kari!

JJ4Life · 08-07-2006, 11:19 PM

Thanks for the new thread! We've been pretty successful at the thread killing tonight!

lukelover87 · 08-07-2006, 11:21 PM

Thanks for the new thread! Love the pics.

dramaqueen125 · 08-07-2006, 11:26 PM

Thanks for the pics. Wow, that last pic. So beautiful.

lukelover87 · 08-07-2006, 11:28 PM

That's the Lauren I love. Her hair looks SO much better now. Before it was just bad. I can deal with this.

dramaqueen125 · 08-07-2006, 11:30 PM

Is it bad to say that I still hope she cuts it? It looks like she dyed it darker, that's a little better, course I can't tell that well and I don't really feel like analyzing the pics

lukelover87 · 08-07-2006, 11:32 PM

No I still like it shorter but compared to what it was this is MUCH better.

dramaqueen125 · 08-07-2006, 11:34 PM

Yes, this is so much better than in the press thing. She looks a lot less tired, maybe finishing the movie helped. But that smile in the last pic, that's what I keep looking at. I miss that smile.

lukelover87 · 08-07-2006, 11:35 PM

I really hope that we get smiling Lorelai back soon. I can't take much more sad Lorelai after what we went through last season.

JJ4Life · 08-07-2006, 11:36 PM

She definitely looks better in these pics... I love that smile. Too bad we probably will have to wait a while to see that big smile on her face next season.

dramaqueen125 · 08-07-2006, 11:39 PM

I know we'll have to wait awhile... that's sad. But man, one smile and i know it will all be worth it. It can seriously keep me smiling for a whole day.

**Lindsay** · 08-07-2006, 11:42 PM

I hope she cuts it too. I like that it's darker, I just wish it was shorter too. The season 5 hair was cute.

Canopus

I love the pic where she is smiling. I can't wait to see that on GG again.

lukelover87 · 08-07-2006, 11:42 PM

Well once we get smiling Lorelai back I'm sure she'll be there to stay.
