Confession: I am eleven years behind on the whole Gilmore Girls thing. I know, not something I should publicly admit (trust me! I'm embarrassed) but for the sake of my journalistic integrity I feel like you guys should know. But last month, after seeing all of the hype about Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life, I decided to settle in one cozy Saturday afternoon with Netflix and some takeout (the attached girl's version of "Netflix and chill") and see what the big deal was with this show from the early 2000s.
And, holy moly, you guys — I can't believe it's taken me this long to get on board. It's the best show in the history of shows, and I owe angsty, 16-year-old me a major apology for not realizing what I (she?) was missing until adulthood.
With the new season launching on Friday, Nov. 25 (do you think I can finish the last four seasons between now and Friday?) everyone, myself included, wants to show their Rorelai love with some Gilmore Girl's merch. For this reason, it was no surprise that Rachel Antonoff's "I'm With Rory" and "I'm With Lorelai" shirts sold out crazy fast (though you will apparently be able to pre-order from the next restock on Tuesday afternoon).
Thankfully, there are plenty of GG goods on the internet to go around. If you can't wait until the restock, here are seven pieces of Gilmore Girls merch that you can have in your hands by the time Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life airs on Netflix on Nov. 25.
