Lucky Lady

So, over the weekend I saw The Vow, which was actually much better than expected.  Better in that it didn't make me want to come home, curl up in the fetal position with a bottle of wine and weep over being alone.  (And you know the world scorns the idea of being alone in February on a whole other level...)  The movie was almost realistic (now there's a word you don't hear very often in association with romantic films), in that it wasn't so absurdly far-fetched and happily-ever-after perfect that I couldn't help scoffing at the ridiculousness of it all.  In short, I liked it!
But, I digress...
The point of this post is not to ramble on about the reality of The Vow, but rather an idea I began to explore while watching The Notebook earlier this afternoon.  The point is this:  Rachel McAdams is, quite possibly, the luckiest girl on the planet.  Am I right?  I mean, let's take a look:

Mean Girls

The Notebook

Wedding Crashers

Red Eye

The Family Stone

The Lucky Ones

State of Play

The Time Traveler's Wife

Sherlock Holmes

Morning Glory

Midnight in Paris

The Vow

First off, the girl can rock practically any look out there.  Short hair, long hair; blonde hair, red hair, brown hair, pink (!) hair... nails it every time.  Lots of makeup, little makeup; high fashion, sweater-and-jeans... doesn't matter.  Vitnage threads, 80s glam, preppy chic, funky hipster... she makes them all work.  Who does that??
Second, let's take a look at the guys she's had on-screen make-out sessions with.  Going way back to Mean Girls, there was the gorgeous Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Barrett):

That same year, there was the now-immortalized The Notebook, where she got to mack  the rugged Noah (Ryan Gosling) as well as the polished Lon (James Marden):

Next up was Wedding Crashers, in which she was engaged to the beautiful Sack (Bradley Cooper):

Fast-forward a few years to The Time Traveler's Wife, in which she starred alongside the hauntingly handsome Henry (Eric Bana):

In Sherlock Holmes, she played the legendary Adler to Robert Downey Jr's Holmes:

And most recently, in The Vow, she's been torn between a life she remembers with Jeremy (Scott Speedman) and Leo (Channing Tatum), the husband who's trying to make her remember the life she's forgotten.  Poor, poor girl.

Finally, the girl is FLAWLESS.  On the red carpet, doing interviews, in magazines, running errands... she is absolutely beautiful.  I mean, look at her:

 
I even Googled "bad picture of Rachel McAdams" and this is about the "worst" I could find:

Seriously??  That's a "bad" picture of her?  I shudder at what would come up if I someday became famous and someone Googled "bad picture of Lauren Springer."  Horrors.
So, yeah... Rachel McAdams is one lucky lady.

Happy Sunday, my friends!  I'm off now to get supper ready before the Grammys a.k.a. The Return of Adele.  Can't wait!
