When Gilmore Girls aired what was originally intended to be its series finale in 2007, Rory bid Stars Hollow adieu to follow Barack Obama on the campaign trail as a political reporter.
Nine years later, Obama is seated comfortably in the Oval Office, Gilmore Girls has been resurrected by Netflix for a four-part revival series and Rory is getting some face time with none other than First Lady Michelle Obama.
Ahead of the fall premiere date for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, Alexis Bledel in character as Rory paid a visit to the White House to counsel the first lady on some “light” reading. Lending a hand to Obama’s Let Girls Learn initiative, which aims to ensure the educational success of girls around the world, Rory goes full-tilt Chilton-style overachiever.
“I wasn’t sure about what mood you’d be in, so I brought all of Shakespeare ‘cause you can’t go wrong with the Bard,” she tells FLOTUS on the eve of a Let Girls Learn trip to Liberia, Morocco and Spain.
And Rory wouldn’t be her mother’s daughter without letting her other half, Lorelai, in on the fun. After overwhelming Obama with a bevy of “classic beach reads,” including Moby Dick, “a little Proust“ and Anna Karenina, Rory proudly presents a box of blueberry Pop-Tarts as a gift from Lorelai.
