If you can’t eat them, wear them.

Oh Lady Gaga, what have you wrought?
In the photo you see here is of one of Seattle’s most authentically eccentric food people, Linda Nicholson. She blogs at Salty Seattle, a site dedicated to her strange yet seriously impressive experiments with molecular gastronomy. Think of Nicholson as the Timothy Leary of Seattle food bloggers.
But she’s also really into fashion, which kind of explains how she came to wear a Peeps bikini. Kind of. This explains it better: Her Easter look is for Nudie Foodies, a group of food bloggers that are raising money for Japanese communities suffering from the after-effects of the tsunami. Basically, they’re all taking off their clothes for Japan.
The Nudies are putting together a book of photos and recipes that you will be able to purchase at some future date (check the website for details), and Nicholson hopes to auction off this very bikini to raise money as well.
Meantime, happy Easter.

This kind if cry for attention is indicative of such blatant self esteem issues. One has to wonder how much time this woman spends on the floor of her shower, knees in her hands, rocking, crying.
Dear PB: The answer to your question is: None. Ms. Nicholson has more self-esteem in her pinkie finger than you will in your entire life. You are obviously suffering from a sense-of-humor-deficiency and take yourself and the world, much too seriously. If you don’t get it, then just say that you don’t get it.
The Nudie Foodies is all about raising money for Japan relief efforts. People who actually have self-esteem issues (I name myself), are taking their clothes off and doing what they do best – cook – to raise money to try and alleviate some small amount of human suffering in the world. And we’re doing it with humor and a little bit of what the world actually pays attention to: sex. Because if everyone took themselves as seriously as you, PB, the world would be a pretty freaking dismal place.
Hey PB-
Just wanted to let you know that any time I find myself on the shower floor there may be crying, but it is usually in pleasure.
Hope one day you can say the same thing, tho it does help to have a big shower. ;)
Better than eating the things, in any case.

PB – It’s us Peeps that are suffering from the blatant low self-esteem you speak of… lo if only we could shower without vanishing like the Wicked Witch of the West we’d be in the shower all day, rocking, peeping, and crying little gelatinous, artificially colored tears. People scoff at us as a confection, and those of you that do like us only really enjoy our company after we’ve been sufficiently altered by the open air so as to be left stale and chewy, with even lower self-esteems.
We thought by flocking around Linda’s T’s and A we’d gain some of her overflowing self-esteem through osmosis. If you look closely at our little Peepy faces in the picture, you’ll see we are now clearly brimming with confidence.
Peep Peep!!

Linda is the most clever, interesting foodie I know. I always look forward to what she’ll do next. This one is brilliant!
PB has some unresolved anger issues.
What a great gesture from the food bloggers. Oh … I love the peeps!
