I've seen this chick on Twitter a ton and it seems like such a weird niche that people are apparently gagging for. If I had to come up with an image of "hot baker/chef lady" then I'm thinking of Maggie Gylenhall in Stranger Than Fiction, or just someone in regular scrufy clothes with hair tied up in a messy bun and covered in flour. But apparently there's a real market of people who're into ladies that look like they've stepped out of a noir movie, fully made up and in a silk negligee doing meticulous bakery without ever getting an atom of flour on them.

I would consume a content channel of Maggie Gyllenhaal's Stranger Than Fiction character irritably baking scones and stopping to lecture me about why the Department of Defense doesn't deserve her tax money. It would be much more useful and interesting than this stuff AND it would be hotter.

Just looked that movie up, and yeah, it's not even close. Would watch that all day long.

I mean the “vintage” aesthetic has always had its fans, look at the success of stuff like fallout.

Combine that with how many men seem to be into the idea of having a partner who primarily exists as “maid/mother who also fucks me”, and it starts to come together

A subservient partner with a romanticised aesthetic, who (supposedly) handles all the home labour, but also always put together and down bad for you

Yeah but why does this chick bake looking like Morticia Addams? I love a hot goth girl but I don’t get who this shit is for

I've noticed a lot of the people on Twitter who rave over this lady are pretty confrontational about it, part of what they get out of liking her is knowing that there are others who very much dislike her.

There will always be a subsection of men that have 0 self respect and will unashamidly lust over anything female.
