Elise also wanted to pose for Foujita, but her agency didn't come through. "Never mind," she sighed. "A job's a job, I guess." From the September issue of Family Circle magazine.

Oh, damn! Who forgot to bring the ketchup? From the April issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Food-wise, none of this is really doing it for me, but the "Corn Casserole" dish is pretty adorable.

Mmm... mmm... Flesh and salt: two of the major food groups. Now all we need is a pitcher of martinis and a carton of vanilla ice cream! From the June issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

What a great gallery show! I just love trompe l'oeil, don't you? From the July issue of Family Circle.

But don't try to "tenderize" the meat with plain old 7-Up. It'll disintegrate!
