I'm sure all of you saw the movie "Legally Blonde" last summer, a very funny flick with Reese Witherspoon. BUT--has anyone considered that the movie MAY HAVE BEEN based on the FOL episode where Blair was trying to get into law school?? Here are some hints:
1. Reese Witherspoon's character and Blair are almost identical in every way (over-privileged, rich, "soshe"-type, super popular, kind of "ditzy" blonde, etc).
2. Boyfriend's name is Warner. The actress he goes with later in the picture (and R.W.'s nemesis) is Selma Blair--get it--BLAIR--WARNER!!
3. Reese Witherspoon's character is named Elle Woods. Get this:
say it out--Elle--"L." Woods' initial is "W"--together you get L.W.
which are the initials for Lisa Whelchel!!
4. Elle tries to use her looks and influence to pursuade the law school officials to allow her to join--just like when Blair tried to bribe the law school to allow her to join. In both instances, they used things not related to proper qualifications and credentials necessary for entering law school (exept in Elle's case, they let her slide).
5. Both Elle and Blair were caught in the middle of suspicious, unprofessional activities with their professors.
6. Both Elle and Blair had great difficulty with their tests.
So that's just a sample OF AMAZING SIMILARITIES between FOL
girls and their cinematic counterparts!!

Omg! Ur REALLY observant. I never even thought of that. That movie is awesome!

I loved Legally Blonde, it's up for an award at the Golden Globes tomorrow

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you check out the DVD, there is a "Making of" featurette on it where they explain that "Legally Blonde" is based on a novel that someone wrote about themselves. But that Selma Blair and boyfriend Warner connection is funny! I never noticed that! I disagree with some of the other observations - I didn't get the impression that Elle was as spoiled as Blair and tried to use her family's wealth and influence to get ahead in life. That was the big difference between the two blondes! And I may be wrong here, but I believe that Reese Witherspoon is a real blonde (sorry Lisa W!)

I always knew that was my favorite movie

To coily2,
I didn't really think Legally Blonde WAS based on Blair's law school
episodes, but I thought the similarities were amazing. You're right, Reese Witherspoon's character is actually a lot more "good-hearted" than Blair's, wasn't really chicanery that "Elle" used, but the impression of "less-than-credible" means to get in were used.
And of course, Blair/Lisa is NOT a real blonde (in spite of her being voted the "Blondest Girl at Eastland"), she is a redhead!
