The Week


Like most people I have a love/hate relationship with Oprah. I can't stand her, but I want to know what she has to say. And I just read she adopted a buff cocker spaniel puppy - which is interesting because my family is about to get a sable cocker in a few weeks. We're like the same person/family! But seriously - Oprah. It's annoying that she's put herself on her magazine since its debut.

Today I saw this cover and I was glad to see Oprah sharing it with someone.  Much has been made of Michelle's style, and I like it.  It's interesting to see these two juxtaposed on the cover.  It's great that Oprah's sharing the spotlight, but with this picture??? Seriously? I think she could have done a lot better for her debut.  I've read that everyone is talking about Michelle's see-through belt. It's a little odd, but I think it works with her spring ensemble. I find both of their poses to be more weird. The whole thing looks photo-shopped too. Also it looks like Oprah is begging Michelle for friendship. I watched a DVR'd episode of Oprah the other day and Oprah was bragging that she was just at the White House. We get it. You guys are friends and from Chicago, but Oprah saying that stuff just makes it easier to dislike her. Point being is that I like the idea that she's sharing the cover but I feel like she could have done better.

In other Friday news, I opened Perez tonight and read this headline:

Rapper Coolio was just busted at LAX for possession of crack cocaine!!!

Wow. I had no idea. I used to love Coolio/maybe still do? Is this his audition for Celebrity Rehab/Sober House? Is this his own "fantastic voyage"?

M.I.A named her baby Ickitt. I kind of like it in a weird way.



Finally, keep a look out for the Sufficient podcast debuting on Sufficient's myspace soon. It's their newest one after a 10 year absence.

i really like the clear belt. i've been thinking about it, and it's a great idea. Michelle is bold to wear it over an open cardigan too.

Oprah's looks like a genie. Michelle looks like she is also wearing plastic gloves (at least one on her right hand), to match the belt.
