R.I.P. Julia Child

[fflo]

I always liked her.







"Life itself is the proper binge," said Julia, who went ahead and used butter and heavy cream, goddamnit, and was a veritable Amazon in her way, and didn't die young. Eat that! (More ammo for cristy74 and lovelikeyeast---and maybe me---when Brit TV comes to meet Fat Detroit?)

Oh no!

I love(d) Julia Child. I had no idea she died. *sob* Nice photo selection.

She had a fabulously awkward/backward way of putting her hands on her hips, and was the least graceful-moving woman I had seen on t.v. For this and so many other reasons, I loved her.

I've done a pretty good impression of her since age 13, too. Some drunken day, I will subject you to it.

Sigh.

I'd love to see your Julia some time. I did like Dan Ackroyd's impression, actually---derisive as some may think it, it seemed respectful to me. Like, hey, Julia would keep cooking even if she were bleeding to death. She keeps on keepin' on.

I too liked her funny way with her limbs.

Farewell, fine one.
