I love this - I’ve always said Legally Blonde changed my life! Haha and this is inspiring me to write something similar about another fictional character I am so inspired by - Lorelai Gilmore!

I wish I had half of Lorelai's wittiness and reference knowledge!

My niece, born this March, is also named Elle! 🥹💓 But yes, this movie is great and I hope my niece is just as fierce and fabulous as Elle Woods 😎

I don’t think I have a favorite fictional role model, but I didn’t have a name until watching the Saved by the Bell credits and saw the name Leanna because it’s one of the characters name in real life

She genuinely is my spirit animal. You know that “intro ur substack with a picture from a movie” - mine would be a pic of elle woods’s “what, like it’s hard or something?”

Also love Elle Woods! I was a law student at uni when this came out. I think it’s timeless! Just wish things had moved on a bit more for women in the workplace since then
