Delicioso!
Suddenly I'm obsessed with all things Giada de Laurentiis. I'm not sure what it is. I would say it's a byproduct of too much Food Network. But that would be wrong. Hers is the only program I watch from that channel. She's adorable. Her great smile, her petite Italian frame, her vivaciousness. She's just gorgeous. Oh, and on top of it all... she's an amazing chef.
And while she's inspired me to try new cooking new things in decidedly Italian new ways, the thing I'm most obsessed with presently is her hair. She has the exact same amount of natural wave in her locks that I do. And that shock of perfectly highlighted hair in the front does wonders to showcase her fiery eyes.
So once again, my loyal, patient, tolerant hair stylist will see me schlepping celebrity photos into his salon. Fortunately I've already got her length and texture... but I plan to beg Ryan (aforementioned hair guru extraordinaire) to humor me by telling me how difficult it would be to give these locks and some Giada-inspired color.
Yes, he'll give me "the look"...you know the one. The one that says "are you sure?" and "this again?" at the same time. But if I can achieve this perfect balance of light and dark locks it'll be worth it. And maybe, just maybe, when I come home from my appointment tomorrow I'll possess enough Giada-like talent to whip up Seared Steak with Arugula and Roasted Pepper Salad as well as the lovely and talented Giada herself might.
Stay tuned!
I ADORE Giada! As silly as it sounds, she is someone I could totally be friends with. All of the recipes of hers that I've tried have been amazing.
She does have beautiful hair. I bet it will look fabulous on you!

Oh to be born rich and beautiful!
She shows off allot of boob on that show...probably maintains those male fans...lol
She is formally trained, and I respect her for that. It would have been easy for her to live off her family's money.

Well, if Ryan cooperates then we would like to see a picture of the "after!"

ladies.. the hair looks fabulous! I'm hoping to get a pic next week when I get a chance to play with my texture a bit more. Ryan did indeed give me 'the look' but he seemed ready for a change as well.
And... we are not alone in our Giada love. Read this:

My boyfriend is certain her TV kitchen has an elevated floor or the counters are lowered because she's so tiny!
