I was a huge fan of The OC. I’m not ashamed to say it. I kind of lost interest after the second or third season (whichever one was after Olivia Wilde left). Those were HARD times for me – extra triple emphasis on HARD – because to have to choose between Summer (Bilson) and the f***ing on fire bisexual bartender (Wilde) is the most enviable of decisions. Anyway, there are two camps when it comes to Rachel – some think she’s “cute” (haterz) while others (me) think she’s one of the hottest girls on the face of the planet. August 25th is her b-day, so as my gift to her I’m giving you her sexiest photos. Check ‘em out after the jump!
