2012 Emmys: Vote for Padma!!!

Jamie Reidy thrusts, er, throws his support behind Padma Lakshmi’s bid for an Emmy.

I arrived late to the “Top Chef” bandwagon. Forced to watch by my ex-girlfriend, I quickly warmed to the cooking competition. My change of heart, though, had little to do with chatty chefs or culinary creativity. No, I became a devoted fan for one reason:

Padma.

In the history of attractive women, Ms. Lakshmi is the top seed. On this, I will brook no debate.

She is smart, funny and nicer to look at than a sunset on the ocean. I’d give up breathing for a date with her. Unfortunately for me, she and I did not run into each other at the Emmy ceremonies I attended in 2007.

Sadly, I do not have an Emmy ballot. If I did, I would vote early for Padma and scam a way to vote often. But I would have done so even without the world’s most persuasive poster; not that I am complaining about Bravo’s efforts to support its star.

What about you, GMP readers? Do ads like this work with you? Insult you?

    She’s attractive but the “food as sex” bit is old. I know she’s a chef so that ups the likelyhood of reaching for that trope but still, its old.

    Let’s just be glad she is not sitting in a giant chocolate fountain where you can’t tell if she wearing any clothes or not.

  2. Jamie Reidy says:

    Danny, thank you for that idea!

    Jamie and I are in a big fight over what is hotter: this ad or the one featuring Padma for Carl’s Jr. Thoughts?

      Chocolate beats burger (and I’m a HUGE fan of burgers).

      But I kinda wish she was looking into the camera and not in the distance.

    Love her! Love the whole dripping chocolate/vampire blood vibe there! She is ultra-cool!
