Blake Lively has a feature in the new issue of O Magazine, likely as some early promotion for her first film role in years, in The Age of Adeline. Have you seen the trailers for The Age of Adeline? I’m not impressed. But the costumes look cute. And that’s probably enough – plus the fact that she’s now part of the Motherhood Industrial Complex – to get Blake several major magazine covers for April and May. She didn’t score the cover of O Mag (only Oprah gets the cover!!), but O Mag did do a photoshoot with Blake. I don’t understand why her mouth is open? Do we have to make SexyFace even for OPRAH?!

Anyway, in the O Magazine interview, Blake talks about eating and knitting and how of course she loves to do some work on her motorcycle. She’s sort of like The Cool Girl’s cousin, The Cool Wife. All about food and child-rearing and letting her husband “teach” her how to do fun stuff that he likes to do. Some highlights:

Her stress-relievers: “I’ll knit or cook — or work on a motorcycle, a skill my husband is teaching me. One of my latest projects was painting nature-inspired throw pillows.”

How she spends a day off: “Walking through New York City. It’s constantly changing. I’ll go back to an area I visited four years ago, and it’s completely different. But that’s a good thing because it means there will always be new neighborhoods to eat my way through.”

On her best childhood memory: “My mom liked to infuse my life with a lot of magic. When she read my fortune cookies, the predictions were full of princesses and castles and jewels and pirates. When I got old enough to read them, I was shocked to find out how boring they really were!”

On her favorite quick recipe: “Hot fudge sundae. But forget the fake syrupy stuff; Melt down a bar of chocolate, mix it into some warmed up whipping cream, and put it on top of ice cream. Add some sprinkles, and you’ve got a delicious treat.”

Well… okay. I’m going to try to be less nitpicky about Blake, so I’ll give her this: I like how she consistently talks about enjoying all kinds of food. I’m sure she eats mostly healthy food, but I also get the feeling that all of her cupcakes/cookies/sundaes talk is for real, that she will sit down and eat buttery popcorn and top it off with a small ice cream sundae, because life’s too short. And I like that about her, really. I get tired of self-appointed health-monitoring celebrities trying to convince me that kale smoothies are the height of indulgence.

Last thing: painting nature-inspired throw pillows? She totally spoiled the next Preserve essay!!!!
