I don't know where you're getting this narrative. As someone who has watched a lot of both of you over the last few years (measuring monetarily, I was 10x the fan of you over him) it's so disappointing to see you perpetuate this. Obv you don't owe fans or patrons anything, but please. This is false.

Also it’s not that deep —obviously she’s a business woman as well as a pop star. But as a former enthusiastic fan, the introduction of this feels… purely transactional

Don’t ask me what Rory is doing in her half. Hopefully something with Paris Geller.

Lorelei, still holding the Labubu, stands alone next to the drink cart. She sighs, drops the Labubu into the trash and follows them into the dining room. Fade to black, Executive Producer Amy Sherman-Palladino.

She’s pointing to the doll.
“Mom, it’s a Labubu” Lorelei gives an accelerating ramble about Labubu culture but gets cut off.
“They’re bag charms?” Emily asks. Lorelei starts to answer, but again is cut off by Emily saying “what a ridiculous waste of time” before she leads Rory into the dining room.

“Mom, no!” Rory says. “I thought you said you’d never—”
“I almost named him Tom Selleck because he was the hairest guy I could think of, but then I remembered the avocado farm scandal and—“
We hear Emily’s Gilmore’s voice: “Oh my god, what is that?!”

Episode cuts to Rory arriving at Friday night dinner. The maid leads her into the living room where Lorelei is waiting. She says “I have something to tell you…” and then holds up the most customized Labubu you’ve ever seen with a massive grin.

Luke turns to walk away and a Labubu with a backwards baseball cap, a flannel shirt and a tiny ordering pad and pencil is clipped to his belt. Lorelei yells “not you too!” Luke responds “Oh this thing? April gave it to me. It’s actually kind of cute” and Lorelei screams.

After many of these reveals, Lorelei sits down exasperated at Luke’s and ranting about how everyone is susceptible to trends while she orders lunch. He’s grumbling things like “tell me about it” and “bunch of sheep.” She finishes her rant with her food order (“just a punch bowl of coffee, thanks”).

Lorelei spends her week running around doing her typical town things. One by one she sees the townies with their Labubus. Michel’s is decked out in Gucci. Babette and Maury are pushing theirs around in a stroller. Kirk is trying to resell obvious Lafufus after buying them thinking they were legit.

Rosie follows me on Twitter. I like to think she would have loved this joke.
