Happy 41st birthday, Gillian! May your endearingly quirky and giggly demeanour, unrivalled talent and stunning looks (and honourary Brit status) remain for many years to come.
Know also that my unconditional, fangirlish adoration is unyielding:
[A conversation between myself and a friend re: his current X-Files rewatch]
E: Didn't you see GA in something recently?
Me: Yep, A Doll's House.
E: What was she like?
Me: [sighing] Vulnerable, sexy, captivating.
E: It's got to be years since she was first making TXF.
Me: Mm, sixteen or so.
E: Wow. How was she looking on it?
Me: Incredible. She gets more beautiful every year.
E: [laughing] Are you in love with her or something?
Me: Is it obvious?
I have nothing like the talent of
octoberaine when it comes to epic GA picspams (go see!), but my own tribute to the day is under the cut. Please do feel free to continue bringing the pretty in the comments.
Pretty, pretty, pretty...
