Delicious Snark #4
Sorry about the brief hiatus in Delicious Snark. I know you've all missed it (waves at W). But I just wasn't getting the inspiration. However I've decided to re-assume the mantel of responsibility and Just Do It.
So, this being June's issue of Delicious had but a tiny photo of Jill, squished into one corner of the page, and I was all 'Arck! They're on to me!', but phew! July's issue was back with the full-page spread so we're ok here a little while longer...
But man! How pissed does she look? It's like she knows she's been relegated to a corner while Nigella still beams naughtily from a full-page photo. That, and the fact that she's actually in a kitchen this time, not swanning about in restaurants and farmers markets...
And I'm still trying to work out if that's a bedazzled apron or just the dreaded high-waisted pants???? Help me out here!

its definitely bedazzled!
on close inspection it looks like a long skirt with pockets on which the baubles are festooned and the skirt comes complete with a tie around belt... so odd.
It has left me rather perplexed - that 'item' of clothing. I mean surely the dangling crystal things would get shut in drawers?
Silly Jill!
Who puts their hands in their pockets in the kitchen?
Is she trying to be suggestive (of storage space)?
If she had both hands free, clasped in front of her, that would look just strange. What they should have done, is have her handling a large plate, peppermill, or culinary implement.
Instead, she's been allowed to slide a hand in a pocket, leaving a rather confusing "I know what you really want for dessert" look - entirely inappropriate for any cookbook not written by Nigella, and made doubly worse by the grid material her blouse is made from, which makes it plain for all ther world to see she is sadly lacking in the self same assets Ms Lawson has an overabundance of....
GW - the fact that she has time to be lounging 'seductively' with her hands in her pockets merely proves that she's crap in the kitchen. IMHO. Or is this what Other People manage to do, as they don't have to deal with ankle-biters opening drawers at inconvenient times, or sitting in the middle of the floor in your quite narrow galley-style kitchen...
Donnie - Jill is no Nigella, and never will be, no matter how much effort she puts into her 'come hither' looks. She has a lazy eye.
Hehe. Nice actonb, I did miss the snark last month.
And if I can just say, this month's cover recipe? STUNNINGLY AWESOME.
