Rider’s Profile: Rachael Ray
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.

rider’s name: Rachael Ray
also known as: Oprah’s new bestfriend
ride: not hers. It’s her husband’s (John Cusimano of the band, The Cringe) Vespa
homebase: New York, USA
job: famous foodie

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!
