Ugly people

Right around my lunch time each day my TiVo automatically catches this Food TV show for me called "Everyday Italian". It's hosted by this italian girl named Giada De Laurentis who's very pretty. A little like Natalie Portman.

I think she's really pretty. Apparently I'm a little late to the neighborhood, because I've heard she's been super popular for quite some time now. All of a sudden I see her in all kinds of commercials and books.

It's very obvious that the Food TV Network loves her looks...every shot of her is really close, sometimes they zoom right into her face. God knows they never did that with Emeril Lagasse. "BAM!"

But I must say it isn't all looks....she can really cook. Those recipes she makes looks so great.... here I am sitting at home eating my microwave bean burrito pretending I'm eating one of her "Brucetta with Gorgonzola cheese and honey". Somehow imagination isn't quite the same...that burrito still tastes like crap.

That combination is deadly....skills + looks. Pretty people who really have brains too can accomplish so much. There's nothing in their way. Just like my honey Florence....she's got the looks AND she's so smart, so I'm reduced to a slobbering baby every time I see her. She's saving people's lives every day and here I'm just worried the printer colored my last letterhead wrong?

/sigh. Ugly people like us can only depend on hard work to get by! How's that fair?
