I’ve been thinking about this picture of Alexis Bledel from WWD since I saw it earlier today.

While I appreciate the Gilmore memories that any picture of Rory brings to mind, I’m less enthusiastic about the 80s era flashbacks to hair I’d rather forget.

And I loved the genius that went into creating all those individual hairstyles at Marc’s show in February, but I’ve been slightly afraid of how exactly 80s hair would be translated into the mainstream.

Now, the high side pony seems to be creeping its way into my daily life. I’ve seen it out and about in Manhattan—for both day and evening.

Modeling behemoth IMG (home of Kate, Gisele, Daria, the Lilys, and oh-so many more of our favorite girls) has just signed former Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel to the agency to handle her commercial endorsements - so now she and Little J can hang out at the office?

And we’re excited to see what they’ve got planned.

We were always big fans of Rory and Lorelei and her porcelain complexion and blue eyes are pretty incredible.

Anything that brings her some cool new exposure works for us.

Bring on the campaigns.
