Dahlings –
Far be it for
moi to criticize anyone else’s lifestyle (although if you
dare criticize mine,
beware! As it says below, I have efficient and nasty lawyers).
However, the
hypocrisy of that
Oprah Winfrey person. Yes, I know, she's rich, she pulled herself up by her anklestraps, she insists on being on every cover of that damn magazine urging women to "be the best you can be" or "build strong bodies 12 ways" or "Join the Army" or whatever it is. Etc. etc. etc.
So, in this day and age,
why bother to pretend that you are a player of the pink oboe, when it is transparently obvious that you would rather eat the dark oyster? (
Note I did not say
“bearded clam.”)
My personal assistant had the television on this afternoon when she was supposed to be steaming my fabulous outfits. I'm going to the
Marc Jacobs soiree at
Gotham Hall this evening, and I need to have a selection of devastating garments handy.
Before I had a chance to discipline the foolish lumpkin, the sight on the plasma screen rooted me to the spot.
Oprah Winfrey, delightedly standing behind a
half-naked woman and
fondling her breasts!
“I didn’t know Oprah had a side career in soft-corn pornography,” I thought. Then, I realized
Ms. Winfrey was ostensibly fitting women for brassieres on her
television program.
Perhaps it was the manner in which her hands caressed each woman’s
poitrine, big, small and in between. The way she
lovingly fondled the curve of the cups of the lingerie. Perhaps it was the rapturous gleam in her eye. But
Oprah was enjoying this
far too much!
Suddenly those 'rumors' about her friendship with
Gayle seemed
quite plausible.
And I’m certain that the participants on the show enjoyed themselves
as much as
Ms. Winfrey, if the eagerly screamed
“THANK YOU, OPRAH!” s from the half-naked women were anything to go by. Who
knows what happened when the cameras were turned off? Probably
most of these women hadn’t been felt up so well since high school. (Although there were
so many women, one has to admire
Oprah’s stamina.)
The rest of the program was the usual women’s’ kerfuffle, how to find the perfect pair of jeans and such. (Using size 10 women as examples--
of COURSE size 10 women can find perfect jeans!
My God! )
But I digress. Ms. Winfrey examined each woman’s derriere with a scrutiny that was quite discomfiting.
Yes, we all know she’ll
never marry that eunuch
Steadfast or
Stiffpole or whatever his name is. If only she wouldn’t keep blowing smoke in the media’s eyes by pretending to blow
Stiffpole. Come out, come out, Oprah! Then we will all know you are being your best possible
you, as you like to say.
Must dress! Kisses!

Today's Fashion Thought:We all know there is nothing like a dame. I've always liked the word dame. I hope someday I will be remembered as such: “She was a great dame," "She was one tough dame,”
I think of a dame as a gal who knows who she is. Who can be tough when she needs to be, but knows when mercy is called for.
Great in bed. Feminine without being prissy.
