… who have done so much in the spirit of friendship and generosity, in celebration of Laurel’s birthday.
The women of Xandra’s Place, many formerly from OC … who counted down to Laurel’s birthday for 365 days … with humor, grace, and lots of beauty.
Laurel's birthday
This birthday graphic was made by Hereden. She shared countdown duties with KMo, Holly, Yersinia, Xandra and several others throughout the year.
The women of Laurel Holloman Online, who devised a clever and outrageously fun L Word Trivia Game for all to participate in … all to raise money for Doctors Without Borders.

The video above was made by Keesha, to celebrate the friendships made there.
Laurel’s amazing Chinese fans, who spent 6 months working together to create an incredible e-Book as a gift for her on her birthday … it can be downloaded here. They posted the link to their work at LaurelHolloman.net … at the birthday wishes thread here.
LaurelHolloman.net has set up a new donation page for fans to donate to Doctors Without Borders … it is also on Firstgiving.com, and can be found here.
Now fans have a second option of where to go to support DWB. Give early … give often!
This birthday card was designed by a sweet young European fan, Synnie … and we wholeheartedly echo the sentiments expressed.
We wish you the happiest of birthdays, Laurel! Thank you for showing such grace, onscreen and off … and for your generosity and support of the communities that have grown as a result of your work. We hope you have a wonderful birthday, surrounded by your family and friends.

We just wanted to express our deeply held admiration for your talent as an actress. We thank you for giving us so much pleasure and joy while watching you on the big and small screen, and – for those lucky few – the New York stage. Thank you for all the memorable characters you have brought to life so far with such delicacy and power: Randy, Samantha, Laurie, Justine, and Tina, to name but a few.
Thank you, Laurel, for being so gracious with your fans. Thank you for being dedicated to The L Word, and for your numerous appearances at book signings, events, and conventions. Thank you for being an advocate for the gay community. Thank you for your efforts to support humanitarian causes that help those less fortunate, benefit all of us in the long run, and really do make the world a better place.
We wish you the best on your birthday, and every day. We wish you and your family well. We wish you the best in whatever acting, advocacy, or other projects you undertake now and in the future. We will be there supporting and applauding you.
The section entitled “For Laurel” contains the full text of our tribute. We invite all of Laurel’s fans to contribute their own words, artwork, music, photos, and/or videos to this birthday blog. Any contribution, no matter how large or small, is always welcome!
