I made an earlier post preferring Giada. That doesn't mean I prefer skinny
to voluptuous. It means that I prefer Giada to other female celebrity
chefs. Her thinness is a detraction to her overall attractiveness, not a
plus. Just because, given a small set of females, someone who is very thin
is preferred, that doesn't mean that her thinness is the reason for the
preference.

I like Giada's show better than anything that RR does. It has nothing to do
with who looks better. Samantha Brown is just too perky for me unless she
is doing a show about a theme park hote. Is it me, or did she have breast
implants a couple years ago?

I have thought about that in idle moments myself. She looks great. Every
woman should have the chance to be the size that she likes.

Snacking on some Parrano cheese right now. Oh, so tasty. It's a Gouda
with an Italian flair. There are so many excellent "Gouda-style"
cheeses. Many of us around here are ignorant of the really serious
beauty of a Rembrandt, Mona Lisa, Roomano, Beemster, Van Gogh...

Interesting, I did not know she was Dino De Laurentis' Granddaughter.

Manhunter was an excellent movie although I don't think it did well at
the box office.

Personally, If I caught RR eating crackers I WOULD kick her ass out of

Giada is so thin... her shoulders so narrow, and her head is about as
wide as her shoulders. She looks like a bobblehead. A cute bobblehead.
