Oprah, Please STFU

Please.
Just stop.
Have you any idea how tired I am hearing about your weight?
So you gained some weight back.

Jesus, you act like the world is coming to an end.
Let me ask you somethin' are you still amazingly rich?
Are you still a self made businesswoman with a scary amount of power?
Still got Stedman?
Still got Gail?
Still got the dogs?

Then STFU.
So what if you weigh 200 lbs?
I have a feeling that your body is supposed to be soft and lush and curvy.
Revel in it.

Is your self worth really based on your weight?
Hell, I think you are looking pretty damn good for a woman over 50.

Stop worrying what the scale says and live a lifestyle that makes you happy....not one you are a prisoner to.
And stop making it sound like being overweight, even obese, is something we have to be ashamed of or apologize for.
In a society that in so many ways claims our self-worth as women is directly related to how skinny we are, it would be nice if women like you would just STFU when it comes to your weight (you too Queen Latifa) and instead prove that being sexy, powerful, sucessful and happy has NOTHING to do with your BMI.

Great post by Kate Harding on Oprah and her weight gain.

Like Oprah in a Way....

I love Dress a Day.
Erin is a wonderful writer and we share the same brain when it comes to novelty prints and dress designs.
Erin also commands a vast army of vintage dress/pattern sewing readers/minions who upon her word will swoop down on your website and buy your stuff.
Today it was my turn.
She posted about this awesome pattern she bought, mentioned my birthday was last week, pointed out a few patterns and the flurry of sales began.
Not complaining.
I love to see my vintage patterns go to new homes.

I'm just saying she is like The Oprah with her awesome selling power.
and minions.
and I think she is nicer then Oprah....I really don't like The Oprah.

I wonder if readers/minions get hats or t-shirts?
