Who’s that girl on the ad in the Entertainment section of today’s Inquirer?

Wifey put down the paper on top of the keyboard and it’s the first thing I saw as soon as I sat down on the computer. The ad is about a TV show which starts airing 9pm, Monday to Friday at the Lifestyle Network; and at 10:30pm in Studio 23.

Who’s she? Let’s profile this rider.

more about the rider: With Rachael Ray‘s huge popularity, along came the criticisms. Some about even the ‘littlest’ thing like if she lied about being a Vespa rider as described in the picture caption above seen in her website. The said caption is now gone and only the picture remains in her site’s gallery.

In a recent Q & A in he own magazine, she admits she’s not really a rider. She said: “I just go along for the ride. I’m too geeky and accident-prone to get behind the handles often. She hops on a Vespa for the fun teaser and PR photos for the show.

So that one’s cleared up! :)

What’s with these young celebrity chefs and scooters? It’s like a fad, suddenly! Can’t blame them, though. I can see the appeal.

so delish!

    One way to convince a girl to backride with me is to tell them..”even rachel ray rides a scooter.” and then they’ll go “Oh..really!.. 30minute meal Rachell”, i’ll go “yah…so ano ride tayo?” hehehe! cheap!

    Does it work, Mark? hehehe… ;)

    Btw, you’ve got some pretty nice images on your flickr. I especially like the photojournalistic style of your ‘too much agression’ pic. Galing! :)
