The Reverse Cowgirl Rides Again

This is a line from "Julie & Julia," starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. Adams plays a blogger named Julie Powell who sets out to cook all of the recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and Streep plays Julia Child (the book's author). Both characters were real. In this scene, Julie learns from her husband that her blog on Salon.com in which she chronicles her cooking is the third most popular blog on the site. While it's not in the movie, Julie's blog was in third place because it was less popular than my Salon blog, The Reverse Cowgirl. ✨

Over on Instagram, I reminisced about how I ended up being not-referenced-referenced in the movie “Julie & Julia.” At the time, I had a very popular blog on Salon. It was called The Reverse Cowgirl. Subsequently, a less popular blog, which was about cooking, was turned into a movie.
