TrinIty

ilovetheshins

No, sorry to say, they did not.

Nice start to the thread, Alexis!

Can you add that reason to love Alexis:
Because she doesn't like being told what to do (Rock the Vote)

(whether or not she really said originated the quote, oh well... )

jennarose

Thanks for starting the new thread. The random caps are stretching out my screen. I'm using 800x600 resolution. It probably doesn't do that on higher resolutions but could you put each one on a separate line? And I don't want to be picky but you posted the promo picture of Lauren instead of Alexis.

There's a new Alexis site starting up here.

ilovetheshins

Thought I would just bring new Alexis/Rory WB promo over here.

Thanks to Genevieve!

nessa24

I love the shins: Thanks for bringing that piece over on what Alexis said. I loved it, lol.

ilovetheshins

No problem! My pleasure.

Hopefully all who want to read it can see it, over on the previous Alexis thread.

I cannot wait for more people to see Bride and Prejudice. I cannot wait for it to be released here!

madelen

New thread! Good title!

Alexis looks beutiful (as usual) in that promo pic!

Dolce & Gabbana

javajunkie24

I found this in a blog.

Someone was talking about attending a Ryan Adams concert on Monday, September 20. At the end of the entry, he/she mentions sighting Alexis Bledel. I'm assuming she was at the concert? I wouldn't be all that surprised. I love the fact she goes to concerts so often. (Just like me, except we are in different cities, unfortunately.)

javajunkie24

at which other concerts was alexis that we know?I am curious

ilovetheshins

I think Sex Pistols (when Milo first asked her out), Maroon 5 and Eddie Izzard (both spotted with Milo), and Mark Farina (a DJ who played in Vancouver - Alexis went with Amber Tamblyn during filming of SotTP). Not sure what else for the moment. But it sounds like when she does get out, it's usually to concerts, as opposed to spotted wasted at rave clubs (like most other young ones getting in trouble).

sex pistols and maroon 5,cool
