Paula Deen. Freaky or Funny lady ?


I just got my cable back. I lived without it for awhile, but missed shows like No Reservations, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Project Runway and a few other guilty pleasures. After finishing a fall cooking class at Lake Austin Spa, I decided to plop on my comfy couch with a Miller Chill and peruse the channels. 

A loud cackling laugh caught my attention and there she was, Paula Deen. Everyone knows she loves butter and all things fattening. She definitely isn't afraid to show it either! I love that she has fun and find her less annoying than several other people on the food network. That being said, I continued to watch her show, "Paula's Party" in a coma-like state of exhaustion. She was making chocolate covered peanut brittle and it didn't look half bad. In fact, it looked pretty good! She was saying "ya'll" a lot and just looked like she was having fun. Until I saw her have a little too much fun...

I'm definitely not a prude by any means and have no desire to be a nun, but that woman has totally lost her marbles. She put her arms around this sweet, old southern man who made candy for a living. She dipped some candy in a big chocolate machine with gloves and then put chocolate on this man's face. Paula kissed him right on the lips twice! Afterwards she began licking the chocolate off both sides of his cheeks and this man's face was as red as a turnip. She then sat on another guy's lap and fed him chocolate dipped peanut logs. By the way, the last guy seemed to be WAY into to it.

Am I crazy for thinking grandmas shouldn't be acting like this or what ?! Maybe she can get away with this because she is older? If Giada or Sandra Lee acted like this I definitely think they would called out nationally. They would be accused of using their looks or sexy image to sell their show, but I guess when you're over 50 you can go bananas. People will just think, "That Paula is so silly!"

It seems to be working, so more power to her !
