Boy. Oprah sure goes from serious to fluff in a hurry.
I like Marc Jacobs but can't afford any of his or Yves St. Laurant's stuff. It's nice to see his success story. Can't get any of it up here though.
Loved the story of Jimmy Choos. I never knew a woman was behind the man. Great success story, but I got a little peeved at her whining about how tough being a single mom can be. Like she doesn't have help or the money. Pretty tough to be home by 6pm to take care of your baby girl for 1.5 hours. Now that's parenthood. Sheesh. Glad the father is getting it together for the daughter's sake. And to portray her story of one that the average American woman can become is a bit overstated. After all, her father and mother were heavy duty movers, shakers, and success stories. Not every girl gets out of school with the contacts she had to get the experience she got. Mind you, I give her lots of credit for learning and putting her smarts to great success!
Cool to see the Barbara that Barbie was named after. Nice history there. I have some Barbie dolls and a Scooter somewhere in my parents basement. It's amazing to see how worldwide the doll has become and the lengths Mattel goes to for secrecy. What an amazing world of toys there is.
I LOVE - LOVE - LOVE ELMO. He can tickle me anytime

. I'm actually surprised that Oprah didn't point out that the puppeteer was "black". Not that it wasn't obvious. I wonder if she would have had him on if he wasn't. ?? Just wondering. Nothing against him.
Doesn't it just bite though, when everyone brings Oprah freebies. Like, she can't afford them? New wallet, new shoes, new Barbie. It's a great marketing opportunity for them. I wonder if she realizes that it may not be "all about her". Again, just wondering.
Had lots of fun today watching, being critical, smarmy, and judgemental. Heck I need to do that at least once a day!
