   There’s something kinda dreamy + evil about that far-away look she sometimes has (cf the “baby seal blood” pic).

   spooky…

   B-Side:

   My heart skips a beat each time you mention Giada.

   Did this show start already? Did I miss the premier of my fave bobble head?

   When the crap is she gonna do another book signing?

   She’s as sweet as Scharffen Berger brownies¦she’s an angel, of the first degree. The Giada Roadster looks like its being driven by Mr. Magoo. Giadafan: The series starts on the 12th. Lock and load your Tivo!

   You know, I hated Giada until I read your articles about her B-Side. Now, I can’t get enough of her.

   as always with the food network posts, my first comment is: yaaaaaaaay! the golden gate caption is loverly. i’m not sorry she lost iron chef, there i said it. and did you see the cover of town and country? they totally tried to regulate her big ol’ smile, you can just tell.

   The thing that sucked about her Iron Chef experience is that she was paired with Bobby Muthafuckin Flay.

   What they crap is that? At least stick her with someone talented. She would have been good with Morimoto-san or even that dwarf Greek woman.

   That cheesy ad with her clenched teeth and driving that car with stock footage behind her always cracks my shit up!

   OK, when I looked at the beach shot I thought there was a hapless sunbather lodged headfirst into the passenger seat. The bag and whatever’s sticking out of it look like a skirt and a leg. It was as if she had hit someone mid-coastal strole and hadn’t noticed.

    Nice shout out to Billy Ocean on that last frame grab.

    thank u for that, that was hilarious! ‘hello suicidal GG bridge pedestrian!’ & the triple decker sandwich comments were my faves.

    Ms. Tumnus, i thot the same thing when i saw the pix–that she hit someone on the beach & they landed head-first into her beach bag.

    Anyone else notice how in Pic #2 Giada and the car bear a striking resemblance?

    My sister emailed me at work today to check this hilarious bit out. B-side, you slay me.
    Tumnus: I agree, it_does_ look like a skirt and a leg… and since there are no panties, maybe it’s a shout out to Britney.

    nursecoco: Yeah, the e cloying smile can grate on you…like a wedge of Parmi-John-o Reggie-Anno, but she really grows on you after a while. All that I’m saying, is give piece (of ass) a chance.

    Giadafan: I agree with you about Bobby (MoFo) Fillet. Giada is classically trained in France, and this guy rolls his eyes as he “teaches” her how to chop onions with a Santoku knife? What an arrogant jagoff.

    The surrealness of that ad was exquisite. The second I saw it I knew it was a classic.

    And seeing those oversized round sunglasses contrasted with her huge rectangle smile. It’s like shes a monster from a Guillermo Del Toro horror movie.

    “Amazingly, Giada manages to swallow the slice whole.”

    Oh, YOU WISH! (Though, if I was straight I would too!)

    In all seriousness, I love this woman. Anyone notice that the only reason Giada lost to Rachael Ray in that stupid Iron Chef business is that Rachael was paired with Mario Batali, while Giada was given Flay, The Kiss of Death? Had Giada been paired with Mario they’d've wiped the floor with Flayray.

    Thanks for the recap!

    Holy crap! I thought I was the only person who thought she had an ENORMOUS head dwarfing her smaller-sized frame! Also, while i at 1st found her cute…is it me or does she have sort of flipper-stumpy arms? (not proportionate to her body). If you REALLY Watch her, it’s like her arms are mammal-whale flippers instead of arms;(fish for those of you who aren’t thinking warm-blooded).
