Sophia Loren does not like you…
I think Jayne Mansfield’s in trouble.

Sophia Loren visits our planet
I posted this photo a month ago of Sophia Loren holding two items that every Filipino who grew up in the ’60s-’70s is familiar with — the dreaded wooden giant spoon & fork.
That photo was actually taken from Sophia’s 1971 cookbook, In Cucina Con Amore (published in English as “Eat With Me”). I’ve been wanting this book for a while because the recipes were all written by Sophia herself. Imagine, owning a cookbook from a woman who once said about her famously voluptous figure: “Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti.” Take that, anti-carb crusaders!
As much as I love Sophia, I think some of the photos from her cookbook are just hilarious. It’s like she’s some alien visitor to our planet, the way she poses with food. Mangia mangia!
Was Sophia Loren ever in the Philippines?
Because I don’t know how to explain this photo. Unless someone gave the set to her as pasalubong? I’m hoping someone finds a photo of her with a giant wooden rosary…
