Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments On 10/23/10, our local Glens Falls newspaper published an article about Rachael Ray entitled "Rachael Ray stirs up an everywoman vibe". See:
http://poststar.com/lifestyles/today/...
Excerpt: "Despite her fame, Ray shows few signs of celebrity-style vanity."

From what I've read or seen, it seems that Rachael Ray has a very natural and unaffected style. She obviously loves what she does.
