One of my fav moments in the series.

Fo realz. I want to have a Gilmore Girls rewatch party with all y’all with bottomless snacks ASAP.

Wait. If this was television that accepted the economic realties of its characters I might have to get a little more excited about it.

Yeah, I’d rather have a realistic wardrobe that’s less technically pretty than super styled shit that is clearly way out of their budget. I like that everyone’s houses/apartments were realistic too. I hate tuning into a show and seeing people in gigantic, spacious lofts when they’re supposed to be struggling to make…

The guy I lost my virginity to was def a Jess, and he had that EXACT jacket. They definitely got that shit right.

Definitely. It was pretty realistic imo. I also liked the evolution of Rory and Lorelai’s styles. They changed very appropriately too such as Rory’s clothing becoming more flattering as she become more confidant and less of a wallflower.

Agreed. It was refreshing to see characters not dressed like they’re ten brackets above their income level and have a personal stylist at home. Much more realistic! That Sookie jacket was terrible though as was that giant white hate Lorelai wore when her and Luke broke in to the church to break the bells.

Well, obviously situations may vary, but for all the women I know it’s because our insurance wouldn’t cover cervix softeners or numbing agents of any kind. :/ And this was after a lengthy insurance fight for each of us because our insurance was trying to say they wouldn’t cover the IUD despite the grandfathered status…

IT’S HERE!!! I’m so glad because I was starting to get bummed that it might not happen.

I’m with you. Super rich people are so fucking weird sometimes. But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t fascinate me a little.

I’m Pam Poovey this year. It was pretty dang easy to put together. I should have gotten a wig since I’ve not blonde, but I’m too cheap and every blonde wig I found was nowhere near her hairstyle.

Similarly, The Dude is always an easy one to pull off last minute.

Love these! You guys look great. :) Might steal some of these when the bf and I are lacking costume inspiration. We’re amazing at decorating, but we suck at getting our shit together for costumes. We were Joel and Ellie from the Last of Us last year though, and that was pretty easy to do.

Hey now, Courtney is great in her own right, but that’s a bit of an insult to the goddess that is Kim Gordon. And that hair is all wrong for Thurston!

Mark, sorry to go completely off topic (especially since this is a very serious article!), but since you usually respond to people I was wondering if I could ask you if there will be a Jez spooky stories thread this year? We’re nearing the end of October, and I live for those!

Damn, it doesn’t seem like it has much traffic. :/ The Jez ones are great because they get actual thousands of comments and, therefore, hours of perusing!

This whole thread is giving me the lawlz.

Honestly, from listening to WTF I would say that most comedians would not object to your generalization in the slightest anyway haha.

I’m sorry to hear that. :/ It really sucks that this is still happening so much.

It is. :( However, my plan and the plans of other women I work with finally became un-grandfathered last July and guess what? They still tried to deny us the IUD. Part of it is that the IUD isn’t exactly a prescription and isn’t just a procedure either so if specific language isn’t properly decided upon for your…
