Here are some photos of Blake Lively out and about in NYC on Friday. She stopped by Giggle, which I guess is some sort of baby-accoutrement shop, and she signed up for their baby registry. Crap, we have to buy her baby stuff for her?! Damn it, Blake! She also checked out Boffi, a “high end bath and kitchen design store,” according to Fame/Flynet. She tried out a new bathtub. As for her shopping outfit… well, it’s not my jam but whatever she wants. That coat is really loud and her skirt is really short. While on the red carpet on Thursday night, Blake already joked: “I’m gonna amp up my style by wearing things that are stretchier.” Because she’s knocked up, get it? There’s also this funny (but probably not true) story about Blake’s cravings:
It seems those insatiable midnight cravings are getting the better of pregnant Blake Lively, who sends Ryan Reynolds out to get her PUMPKIN ice cream at midnight. The expectant actress has reportedly been keeping her hubby busy with endless requests for bizarre food.
They include hand-churned pumpkin-flavoured ice cream and pickles. Gross. A source told Heat magazine: “She sends Ryan out in the middle of the night for organic hand-churched pumpkin-flavoured ice cream and small-batch pickles. He barely has five hours’ sleep and even when he gets in bed, she asks for hour-long foot and neck massages.”
If I found a dude willing to give hour-long neck massages, I would lock that sh-t down so fast it would make your head spin. It could be the grossest guy in the world, the dong situation could be completely tragic, but if there were hour-long neck rubs involved, I would force him into a marriage of convenience/neck-rubs. As for the organic, hand-churned pumpkin ice cream and “small batch pickles”… that sounds true but it probably isn’t. Who knows though? I could totally see Blake becoming one of those donut-shaming pregnant women. She seems like the type to side-eye anyone who would dare to eat Vlasic Pickles straight from the jar.
Meanwhile, CB sent me Blake’s latest word salad from Preserve. You can read it here and if you can explain what the hell Blake is talking about, God bless you. I think she’s trying to address the “Allure of Antebellum” situation. I think she’s trying to say that she knows she’s not perfect and she’s doing the best she can and that Preserve is about all of us so if we criticize her for being ignorant, we’re really criticizing ourselves. You know what I think is really interesting? Every time Blake sits down and writes one of her stupid word salads, more people lose respect for her. She used to be widely admired for brilliantly playing the Hollywood game. Now we’re like “Eh, she’s kind of dumb, right?”

She’s got great pregnancy fashion game, at least. Other than that… It’s all a bit vapid
What? Her “new” pregnancy style is ridiculous! I can tell you what she’s wearing the next 5-6 months: short skirts, big coats/jackets and high boots. Congrats Blake, that’s so ground-breaking!
@Liv
But did Blake ever say her fashion pregnancy was going to be ‘groundbreaking’??
#whatever than means
Yeah, literally. Of course not, but if you know a bit about her you know that she considers herself a fashion icon. And her piece about pregnant women in her blog or website or whatever makes me believe that she will milk her pregnancy from now on. I can’t quote her though, just my opinion.
I think she lives the lifestyle she sells. This isn’t so much a way to milk her pregnancy as much as it’s her living and sharing. She’s always been this way. I wouldn’t say vapid. There are clusters of people who just preach this lifestyle. They might sound into themselves, but it’s not the intent.
And I am a fan of organic pumpkin icecream. It’s just so much richer!.
And weird ass cravings LOL but doubt its true.
I’m a Brit and can tell you Heat Magazine is on par with Globe Magazine for accuracy.
Its odd when international sites quote stories from Heat, Now for celeb stories e.t.c even the UK blogs know they are full of it.
P.S Think that editor’s letter is really old so I don’t think its in reference to anything
Almost everything she’s been wearing since she announced her pregnancy (& has been everywhere since…) is from her preserve site. So basically she’s using her pregnancy to be a walking billboard. Just like she’ll use her baby as a billboard to sell overpriced junk. Stay classy Blake!
Well said!
Nothing wrong with making an honest living. By the way pumpkin ice cream? Jingos! Who comes up with this stuff?
Ha!
What’s the point in wearing a heavy coat, when your skirt is that short?
+10000000
Yeah, I love the coat, but that looks really stupid.
I totally agree love the coat, but it just does not make sense. It’s like she forgot to put on her tights!
GNAT This ^^^ !!!!! Nonsensical outfit. High boots and exposed thighs? A “fashion don’t” column right there.
Girl doesn’t know how to dress for warmth; good luck to the baby.
But I love that coat; it would look fantastic with jeans.
I’ve always wondered the same thing. The girls that wear shorts or a little skirt with UGG boots for instance…I don’t get it. Fashion schizophrenia. You’re either cold or hot…which is it?
That drove me crazy when I lived in California. Shorts and boots. I get that you want to wear boots and LA isn’t really cold enough, but don’t your feet burn up?
I blame the Dallas cheerleaders.
I blame them for most of the problems in the world today.
That has nothing to do with schizophrenia. Can we please stop using mental illnesses as “cool” terms to describe something? It undermines the struggles those who suffer from mental illnesses go through.
Ana, it’s a metaphor, and a good one at that. Relax. Read a poetry book.
@Mina: it’s wrong to use as a “metaphor”, it’s insulting so I don’t retract my previous statement. God forbid someone use another issue like ethnicity or gender as a “metaphor” then everyone would be up in arms, but when it comes to mental illness everyone keeps diminishing its importance and treating it as a synonym for “erractic”, “eccentric”, ect words which are also disrespectful for those dealing with mental illness.
Myself and all my surfer friends, guys included, have been sporting this look for years. Uggs or Emus, my preferred brand, are easy to pull on and off, they are incredibly warm and cozy for frozen Pacific ocean feet once the wetsuit comes off, and they last forever. My favorite look is Emus, a sarong, and a sweatshirt. We don’t surf in the warm, sparkly blue of Southern California; we are in Northern California and Oregon and fashion is the last thing on everyone’s mind when we get out of the water! Would I wear my boots with shorty shorts, scarf, etc when it’s 90 out??? Nope, not so much.
Bonkers.
In summer here we see young ones in hot pants and camisoles in the heat of the sun……plus Ugg boots and vast Yasser Arafat scarves wound around their necks.
🙁
Actually as long as you have socks on this is a warm outfit. It would be colder to have pants on but just have heels, or ballet flats with no socks or boots.
VC
I don’t hate it. She might be going into a warm building or said “%#^! it. My legs look great today.”
The poncho(?) is something I want.
What!s the point with people wearing beanies and shorts?
This! That outfit is wrong on just so many levels.
Is she even wearing anything on the bottom!
That’s really, really short!
Even her cravings are pretentious!! Bahahaha!
Also, I loved “word salad”! This post made me laugh.
Seriously–who says ‘organic pumpkin ice cream’? Some of the food I eat is organic, but when people ask me what I ate, I don’t say organic mashed potatoes–I say I ate mashed potatoes. Just sounds so stuck up.
Blake probably wrote that by herself. Or her writers! 😉
Lol, you are right.
Well, actually no. Please don’t insult Blake. She’d never be like that. It was ” organic HAND CHURNED pumpkin ice cream” she craved, bless her heart.
+ 10000
Such a pretentions way to talk.
…and it has the same fatty & sugary calories. Just as unhealthy as peasant pumpkin ice-cream. I’m waiting for organic Krispy Kremes.
The two exact words one of my selves said to the other, “pretentious cravings.” Great minds! All of them.
I know. I want this to be true just because it’s so ridiculously pretentious.
I was going to say that even her cravings are obnoxious but pretentious is probably more accurate.
“Even her cravings are pretentious”
Gold!
Ok, I know I go off on tangents too much, but can I say that we have a magical pickle company here in DE called Crisp, and if I run out of their dill pickles it is an emergency. They are that good.
Why doesn’t she just buy the pickles and ice cream in the day time if she knows she’ll want them at night? Why do pregnant women think it’s cute to say they send their spouses out at midnight to get them food? Am I just jealous? So many questions.
Girl, cravings are a different animal. When you want it, you cannot rest until you eat it. They come from nowhere, unpredictable, so you can’t plan for that shit. That said, this pregnancy or the last, I’ve never been so annoying to make my husband go out and get me something. I’m pregnant, not immobile. If I want it I get it myself or wait until morning. He’d probably do it, but I’m not going to ask.
Lol, ok I get it. Gotta have it.
I never made my hubs go out for anything that I can remember. The only thing I really craved was stuffed baked potatoes. I believe the Brits call them jacket potatoes. Just stuffed with everything under the sun. That was it. No pickles and ice cream. I was a little disappointed in myself, actually.
I don’t even like pickles normally but with my second pregnancy I craved them, as well as deli picnic food–potato salad, deli turkey on a roll. All eaten in land speed record time.
maybe I’m in the minority but im four months pregnant and none of my cravings have been so intense that I would ever wake my fiancé up and send him out to get something. To be honest I think a lot of women do exaggerate it but that’s just me. The most I do is wake up and walk myself to the kitchen for cereal and chocolate milk. Of course she’s craving pickles and ice cream, because that’s what you’re ‘supposed’ to crave when you’re pregnant. Thems the rules.
I never had cravings with both my pregnancies, although I did have strong aversions to things I normally loved, namely red peppers and tomatoes. It was bizarre!
I never had any weird cravings either. Maybe I was just a weirdo, but I do think a lot of people over-exaggerate the craving situation.
Right? If you really have to have it, you’d be willing to go out yourself and get it.
I want to poll all moms ( and dads) here:
Who has ever actually craved the cliched ‘pickles and ice cream’ during pregnancy? I’m curious!
GNAT I am on pregnancy 3 right now and have never sent my wonderful husband out at midnight for any ‘cravings’. I buy it during the day, and if I crave something I don’t have at an unreasonable time, I pick it up the next day.
I have organic pumpkin ice cream in the freezer right now but I bought it at a dairy farm stand in the middle of the day. Such places aren’t open at night.
Where would a person get “hand churned organic pumpkin ice cream” at midnight?
I don’t think you would get that kind of ice cream, or “small batch pickles” in a midnight grocery store. I take it small batch pickles are traditionally made instead of the commercial ones soaking in vinegar and chemicals? I just made a gallon of sauerkraut with 5 fresh cabbages and sea salt, it is so easy to do and tastes way better than the vinegary stuff.
Omg- perfect post.
Don’t they live in Bedford NY? There is NOTHING open there at night. Maybe she sent him 50 miles away.
Good point.
She tried to blame the media on E News for the “allure” controversy but Blake really did seem to be on the wrong side of history with that piece. She was married on a plantation. I think she has very romantic views if the south, but she should balance them with more understanding about it’s history.
Can you give me link? The one from CB doesn’t work
I agree with you, but I’m not sure I give her such a pass as everyone else does on this. How smart do you have to be to understand that there was nothing about that era to romanticize? How can you picture a plantation without picturing slaves? I’m from the South and I love many things about it, but slavery was the ugliest part of our nation’s history, and it’s ugliness prevents anything about that era from being “romantic.” Scarlett swishing down the tree lines avenue in her beautiful green hoop skirt – how can you separate that from human beings on an auction block, mothers screaming as children were ripped from their arms? I don’t get it. You don’t have to be a scholar to know these things.
Pretty much, you don’t have to be a genius to understand there was nothing romantic about the antebellum south.
Also. Just to be a realist, not a great time for women, married off as teens and then “bred to death” in the absence of birth control, dying after bearing twelve to eighteen children. No freedom, no career options, no education options, no voting rights, no right to own or inherit property, etc, etc. No woman should romanticize the past that way, we must all appreciate how fortunate we are to be alive now and recognize the struggle it took to get here. Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
PREACH, GNAT. She can romanticize it because it wouldn’t have been her family up on the auction block and she would have spent her days looking to get married and then being a housewife. Blake is probably a very sweet and lovely person, but she comes across vapid and willfully ignorant which, in my opinion, are two of the least attractive qualities in a woman and make me so less-than-inclined to follow her example on anything.
As long as she was Scarlett I don’t think it would’ve bothered her.
Ditto and I don’t understand how people are forgetting about this incident either. She could have worded it “Antebellum Fashions” or whatever, and it still wouldn’t have been as horrible as, “the Allure of Antebellum”. Smdh
If you go back and read the Vogue piece promoting the site, then her word salad way of writing makes sense. You can barely make sense of some of those articles.
The comma appears to be a main ingredient in Blake’s word salad.
The more I hear from her the more convinced I am that she’s a total idiot. She needs to just go away
I don’t get her supposed appeal either. She’s nice enough looking but was helped along with a nose job, breast implants and dental work, and she does have the willowy blond look going for her. She is certainly not a great actress. When she talks she sounds really vapid. Must have a good PR person; the marriage to Ryan Reynolds didn’t hurt either.
+ 1
So is her husband. When did she get duck lips? Her lips were once thinner.
I refuse to read her website. Blake is a typical Californian plasticized drone.
She offends me more than Goop.
At least Goop went to Spence and is articulate.
Blake is a fake, capitalizing on her pregnancy to promote her snotty website.
Serene squash-siren singing, like an effortless vined -Victrola, desirous as deasil-darkening dusk daring my dinner; dairy delight. Beckoning barrel, pickled and perky floating in brine, Cucumis, creeping glorious gourd entwining eagerness to eat, like a pastured posy promising paradise to a passerine.
Casual cachepot coat covering the chatelaine, creating claver,cold crural.
She needs to HIRE YOU!
Nobel Prize for Haunting Prose goes to Kiddo! Hahahaha
Blake missed a chance to do herself a favour: she should have lied through her teeth and said she craves Big Macs slathered in HP Sauce or marmalade, or something equally ‘tut tut’ worthy.
PLEASE let us have “like” buttons!!! This is genius!
The classic pickles and ice cream? I call B.S. But as for the link to the other article where “pregnancy is not an excuse to eat donuts”. Yah, I ate a Krispy Kreme donut every Sunday morning while I was preggers with my son. I only gained the recommended 30 pounds. No problemo.
Krispy Kreme….heaven. Well, you only ate one a week, so you were treating yourself but not overdoing it. That’s the secret. Or so I hear. Lol
I never tried crack, but that’s how I envision Krispy Kreme. The first one I ever tried was superb. After that, none were ever as good as the first. But I didn’t attempt to have more to find the initial ‘high’. Now I’m just ‘meh’ about them.
Lol. They are like I would envision crack. I don’t eat them anymore because donuts just make me feel bad, but my memories of them are that they were delicious, especially the glazed ones.
They’re only good when they’re hot.
I started to say that, too, sigh(s). They even have a little light that goes on when they just come out of the oven so you will know if they’re hot.
You know, I had hyperemesis before Waity made it fashionable. Most mornings, donuts were all I could keep down. They’re spongey and soak up all the tummy acids. So, I ate them every day, because that was the only way I could keep working. My son is fine. I laugh at this preoccupation with what pregnant women are eating. It’s usually by people who have never been pregnant, who don’t realize how tough it can be just to survive when pregnant. Cravings? Ha! I would have killed for any food desire, no matter how banal.
I’m with you Enny. Vomited numerous times every single day until I delivered, for both of my pregnancies. Somehow Coca-Cola helped my stomach and got me through my work day as donuts did for you.
Right? Pickles and ice cream are the most cliche pregnancy cravings, as is the whole “I make my husband go to the store at midnight!” thing. Ugh. Definitely BS.
Also, I’ve had 3 kids and I definitely had food aversions and things I liked, but anyone who is so dramatic about needing it in the middle of the night is just using pregnancy as an excuse to be annoying. Plus, she’s not that far along and it’s not like she has other kids she has to drag along…. go to the store yourself, girl!
I see she’s setting a new fashion trend – ‘Nouveau Navaho Notaste’
Hehehe!
LOL! Notaste!
“we have to buy her baby stuff for her?!”
Doesn’t every woman who gets a baby shower get baby stuff bought for her?
I come from a country where baby shower isn’t a custom, and don’t fully grasp the concept, so maybe it’s a comprehension problem from my part.
But after reading various celebrity blogs, I notice that basically everyone expecting in the US gets one at some point, and that people buy and bring baby stuff, whatever the income or wealth of the family. So, she’s organised and she has a list.
What does she do wrong here , or different from other expectant celebs (again apart from thelist thing)?
If I was rich, I would not have a baby shower and expect people to bring me gifts. I’d have a baby shower and hang out and eat a ton of food, but not expect gifts. I don’t understand that. I see baby showers as for people who could use help in getting their stuff. Same with bridal showers. Get me something if you want, but I don’t expect it.
Agree, like I said, it’s weird to me, but she’s hardly the first celeb who will have stuff bought for her, she may just be more open and direct about it.
I just don’t recall the others produced such a surprised/schocked reaction, that’s all.
I preferred not to have baby showers because I wanted to make sure my kids were born healthy (they were). I figured people, if they wanted to, would bring presents after the birth (they did). We bought most of the baby stuff ourselves; I didn’t expect others to do that for me.
And the only reason there was any talk of a second shower was because my second one was born nearly 8 years after the first. I would never expect a shower for a second or third child, although a lot of people do.
Most celebrities that have baby showers donate their gifts to charities or ask you donate to charities. I’m not sure if Blake will do this or not but I hope so. It’s not like she needs anyone to buy her gifts.
Manta,
Proper etiquette in the US varies from region to region, but most of the time, only a first time expectant mother has a baby shower given them. The theory is that they will need a lot of new things for their first baby, but then they’re on their own. Lol.
VC
In my day, says the old woman, it was usually your mother’s friends who gave a baby shower. Your friends were invited, too, of course, but I guess the theory was that your mother’s age group was more able to afford baby gifts. Now, it seems the expectant mother’s friends give the baby shower, and I see what you mean that it’s not fair to expect people who are just starting out to buy all these gifts. You go through a phase where everyone you know seems to be having babies, so it can get quite expensive. I don’t mind when people who don’t really need help have baby showers. I love to buy baby gifts, but I think you’re considerate to think of other people.
Ugh–my older sister just had a baby shower. Now she is BROKE. Like so broke that I’m not even sure how she’s going to afford this baby-type broke. And she’s the type of ‘friend’ that does EVERYTHING…….she’ll arrange your baby shower, buy/make the food, and give you a really practical gift that you need. My mom went to the shower and said all her friends were there, and my sister got one of those dollar onesies, and a pacifier. And all those friends came and ate GOOD. Ugh. I can’t stand people like that.
If these friends who gave crappy gifts already received awesome baby shower gifts from your friends I could see how that could be inconsiderate. I just think it’s tacky to expect any gift. You should not shame your sisters friends for not giving more expensive things. Maybe they were in difficult financial situations too. It should have been enough for them to be there and wish her well.
It’s not your friends responsibility to financially support you to have a baby. That’s on you and the other parent of that child. No one owes you anything.
Oh, that’s so mean. I hope things get better for her.
In fairness, many friends and family are excited about the baby, too and WANT to throw a shower. Not always-some people are over the top with their wants and expectations and registry…but people enjoy a nice party/celebration. I don’t know why the USA gets criticized for its traditions (which started out, arguably, as economic need (other countries still have dowries or at least the idea is to support the new couple or family-it’s an investment in the future). It just seems like US traditions on this blog are target for being slammed. They are diverse and it depends on the region and subculture, too. BUt overall, we hardly have enough celebrations and vacation IMO. Enjoying life is a nice thing. Some countries host a party or fiesta seemingly all the time. Any excuse for one. This is why I think the superbowl, oscars and the like have taken such a strong hold. A way to celebrate, since there’s really only christmas, easter (now also condemned b/c it’s christian and therefore not for all) and thanksgiving. And they’ve been taken over by shopping in some cases, too. Well, halloween, 4th of july, memorial day-they’ve become more popular celebration days.
Could it be that the original tradition was to bring the expectant mother second hand baby stuff that everyone keeps somewhere in the attic? There was no eBay then, would make sense for the “mother generation” to do this, no? That’s what we do. We got lots of clothes ouselves and were mightly grateful: it saves not only money, which was very important too, but also the hussle having to buy it all. God bless all these people who gave it to us. They were not our friends or family, by the way.
It’s sort of tacky for someone as rich as she is to expect people (and possibly fans) to buy things for her, especially when you know she isn’t registered at target or baby’s r us.
I think the real question is, why is she registering AFTER her well-publicized baby shower? Is she now expecting all the peasants who were NOT gifted with shower invites to give her presents?
Baby showers are traditional for most expectant mothers in the US, especially for the first child but many women have them for any pregnancy. Usually it’s a family and close friends party, often women only. Times have changed and just like people aren’t getting married so much, they’re also not having showers so much. I’m going to a shower next week for a third baby. Baby showers usually have silly games you play and you eat cake and drink non-alcoholic punch. Stuff like that. You bring a gift, usually based on how close you are to the expectant mother. If she’s in your family you bring an expensive gift, if she’s a close friend too. If she’s a casual acquaintance, you bring something nice and not too personal or expensive. Last one I gave the baby a ducky towel with hood, ducky bathtub thermometer and bath time baby shampoo set. Not too fancy but useful.
Showers (bridal and baby) used to be a way for those who are older and wiser to “shower” the guest of honor with thoughtful advice and small gifts – a set of towels for a bride, or maybe a nice blanket or some small toys for a baby. It’s still like that in some area.
In fairness, it could be that people are asking Blake for registry information, etc., so she might think it’s just easier to put together a list for anyone who is asking. It may not mean that she’s expecting gifts, but hey, if people are asking, why not have a list of stuff you want?
Not that I particularly care for Kate Hudson, but isn’t Lively always going for the same look?
I always have to look twice when her photos pop up.
So contrived.
Insert the Karen “enough!!” gif here.
I think she’s pretty.
*Quiet, Bud!*
This headline almost made my eyes roll out of my head. Ugh.
Hmm. I had very specific cravings with my two pregnancies, but that specific? No.
And her outfit? With the grown out roots and boots she looks like a hooker who stopped by Goodwill to pick up a cheap coat and went right back out on the stroll.
Shoot, I ate Mexican Food and M&M Blizzards every other day with my daughter. Oh and those cheap gas station, tiny, chocolate covered donuts. And um, the bacon gouda breakfast sandwich from Starbucks.
Actually come to think of it, there wasn’t a piece of food I could say no to when I was pregnant.
Yes, I pretty much ate everything. And a LOT of it. Here and there I would get raging cravings for things I normally didn’t eat. And didn’t eat again after I gave birth.
Yum! Blizzards are the BEST. I’m all about the Oreo, though.
Could not get enough vinegar. If it was pickled, I had to eat it. Surprised my son wasn’t born pickled.
Well good for her. She won’t even have to pull off her pant to give birth. She’s ready to go.
I love her outfit!!
Me too! I absolutelly love that coat! Dont care about the boots…. and since I can see nothing under that coat. Oh my…. yeah, I crave that coat.
I think this article is made up…she was asked about cravings during that gala she attended a few nights ago and she said she had none….
That said, I can see her being a total B***h and demanding things and her latest outfit are really ugly…and she’s supposed to be a fashion icon??
“Kind of dumb”??? She’s a complete idiot!
*eye rolling the pap stroll*
Something nice: Those Lively women have great legs! Remember Robin?
actually, that ridiculous “word salad” has been up since the launch of her equally ridiculous website.
There will be nine more months of this – it’s part of selling the image, selling Preserve.
[*Carefully crafted*]
I like how she went underground until she had a bump … and now she just happens to be photographed out and about. Pregnancy really has become way too much of a PR move for young actresses.
“Giggle” and “Boffi”? Is Preserve having a Halloween special, shilling shops run by murder clowns?
Widely admired for brilliantly playing the Hollywood game?? HA!! Please explain bc I have never had that impression of Blake.
Well, you know who she is, so she won. Women like her, pretty, blond, eager to succeed, are all over Hollywood and most of them are a lot more talented than Blake. She has a career, a famous husband and presumably is living the good life. To most aspirational people in her line of work, she won the lottery and they would all like to “play the game” as well as she did.
It’s how she got “big.” I love her on go but not necessarily more that the other 4 main actors , she’s not more gorgeous than Laughton either but she’s the only one who’s quite a star now. That’s what the reference is to
ugh pumpkins . They are disgusting .
Blake Lively’s alleged cravings: organic pumpkin ice cream and small batch pickles.
Blake Lively’s actual cravings: publicity.
YES!!
I ate sauerkraut with creme fraiche and onion once. The whole 500 ml. That was the bizzarest craving I had. In the night I was sleeping. In fact I usually switched off at around 8pm, it was like one second I’m talking, then bams, snore.
I never understood why people crave pickles and ice cream, but who really knows!
I can’t stop laughing at her editor’s letter. That wasn’t an interview, she actually had the time to sit down, plan and edit whatever she was writing. Which makes me think she genuinely thinks that crap was witty and deep.
“I’m hungry, and not just for enchiladas. I’m hungry for experience.”
Oh, Blake.
She’s so friggin corny, I remember during her Vogue interview she made a stupid, trying too hard “joke” wherein she said she’d have the soup to “drink” and the author wrote it in that she was witty for having made an abysmal and painfully corny “joke” like that. *barf*
Here we go, the first woman ever to be pregnant,
can’t wait for months of groundbreaking news.
Just clicked on this to click my tongue at “pumpkin-flavored ice cream.” She’s all organic and she’s not even getting real pumpkin ice cream? How do they flavor things to make it taste like pumpkin? I dislike her so much.
WORD SALAD.
YES.
I did laugh at the adjectives “organic” and “small batch”, but she probably says it just that way when asking for it. I’m sure organic ice cream is tastier, especially hand-churned, and I assume the same is true for small-batch pickles vs big-batch. Once you’ve had really good stuff, the regular disappoints. At one time I had easy access to fantastic organic carrots and tomatoes, and decades later still think about them… The taste difference is very real. I even had a cat who was hooked on organic tomatoes and insisted on a piece every time I went into the kitchen. I tried foisting off regular ones on her, but no go. Once she had a taste from a piece that had fallen on the floor, that was it. Yes, I had to buy organic tomatoes for my cat. She had fangs and claws and was not afraid to use them if she didn’t get what she wanted.
Lokk, I know that Americans have this disdain for hose, but nevertheless: doesn’t anybody find this ridiculous? Heavy-looking coat, yet obviously bare legs? She looks COLD.
