The Forgotten Odette

With all of the post-Gilmore press being on Rory the monster, I wanted to shine some light on a key but forgotten figure in Rory's wake.

In the aftermath of the Gilmore Girls revival, we can all agree that Rory is the WORST, Lorelei and Luke need a communication therapist, Emily is totally badass, and Emily and Paris deserve a 1.5 hour episode devoted just to them. There is one character that played a major role in the show without making an appearance and just being whispered about here and there - Odette.

Besides being Logan's heiress Parisian fiance who is made to look like a fool thanks to his ongoing emotional and physical relationship with Rory, we know nothing about this woman. What does she look like? Does she fit Shira's image of an ideal daughter-in-law? Is she tolerant enough to put up with Logan and his friends full time? Is she having her own affair? Is she too good for Logan?

Since Amy Sherman-Palladino left the answer to these questions up to our own imaginations, I am going to write out my own character description for Odette.

Odette is 35 years old and a distant relation to King Louis XVI. Most people mistake her for a model thanks to her height, size, looks, and style. She lives by herself in a classic pre-war penthouse that is decorated in a mix of 18th century wealthy Parisian style with modern touches here and there. Since Odette is an heiress, she does not work and pays for her lifestyle with family money. She spends her time shopping, socializing with friends, visiting cultural attractions, and traveling the world. Due the insistence of her parents that she needs to do something constructive with her time, she joined the boards of a few modern art galleries. She favors top wine and champagne to any other alcoholic beverage besides the occasional Islay scotch. Besides the occasional flirt here and there, Odette is not carrying on an affair like Logan. The reason for that is that she really could not care less about it. She knows she can have any man she wants whenever she wants, so she feels no need to validate herself with a side piece. Yes, Odette is snobby. And yes, she is too good for Logan. She is only with him because she finds him to be a fun younger play thing. Plus, it is an added benefit that she gets to annoy her parents by marrying someone less wealthy and prominent than herself. Her move to London with Logan is not permanent. She will be back in Paris soon enough, and with Logan in tow.

Will Logan and Odette last? Of course not. Is their relationship strong enough to keep Logan away from Rory? Yes, but not out of love and devotion to each other. Logan already proved love is not the core of his relationship with Odette. But once she is in his life full time, she will be in complete control of him. Sorry Rory, your Bambi eyes aren't going to get you the man this time.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
