[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who really ate like that would not be that slim.

A single mom running a b&b in a small town with no financial help from anyone would not be able to have a designer wardrobe for herself and her teenage daughter.  [/quote]

Did Lorelai only take tuition money from her parents? I just started watching GG recently, no particular reason. Season 1 is like a time capsule.

That's what the show tells us - it's a point of pride for Lorelei. She manages a small town inn... it's not exactly a well paid job.   [/quote]

...I have given this too much thought

She's been doing it for 18 years or so at the beginning of the show - which, without any crazy expenses, is enough time to have saved up money. Plus she has the backstop of her parents' wealth (as we see). Enough to buy a nice house, wear new clothes all the time, and never cook? I don't know - but it seems possible, anyway. Stars Hollow seems to have a number of people working ordinary jobs, who live pleasant middle class lives.

But yeah - oof, Rory. She is a piece of work.

One of my fun GG thought experiments is to imagine how Rory and Lorelei would be treated if they weren't gorgeous - like if they were this demanding, bratty, bossy, gluttonous, all these things, without having the benefit of beauty. What would life be like for them then?

I should add: I love this show, despite it being a strange world.[/quote]
