Today is Virgo vixen Alexis Bledel's birthday and it's not just any birthday - it's her big 4-0. How is it possible that little Rory Gilmore is now 40 years old?!

Happy Birthday to Alexis Bledel!

Alexis is a pale-skinned Latina who has an Argentinian father and an American mother. Her first language was actually Spanish! That has come in handy for Alexis who started her career as a teen model that later broke into acting. She has become known for being in Gilmore Girls, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and Sin City - but let's talk about her nearly nude roles.

Happy Birthday to Alexis Bledel!

Alexis has not actually gone nude, but she did just barely slip her right breast in Mad Men when she wore nothing but a fur coat. And I mean NOTHING! How did she get let into the office like that?! Also, can I work there, too???

Happy Birthday to Alexis Bledel!

We loved her on Mad Men when she had an affair with Vincent Kartheiser's character, Pete. The two got married in real life and live their lives very privately, so we don't know much about what Alexis is doing for her birthday. We hope it looks something like this:

She has been busy acting on The Handmaid's Tale as her character Emily, a lesbian who gets punished for trying to carry out her relationship and run away from the evil government. We get to see her post-operation in her undies in one scene which is yet again a really good tease. I know the context is not sexy, but just the image of her checking out a white patch over her bush kind of is!

Happy Birthday to Alexis Bledel!

She has actually played a lesbian character a few times which is also very exciting. We loved watching her lock lips with her blonde co-star in the indie movie Jenny's Wedding. Love really does win!

Happy Birthday to Alexis Bledel!

So, happy birthday, Alexis! You look fantastic, ageless, and as sexy as ever.
