You know I drink the Oprah Kool-Aid, right? I have no shame about it. I love me some Mama Oprah.
I know she’s stumbled a bit in some things she’s said (“You shouldn’t be depressed – you’re rich.”), but like you and me, she’s pretty much human.
And then sometimes, Mama Oprah steps over the edge of reality and into an abyss of whawhawhaaaat?
Some people (see: Patrick) have a problem with the fact that on every O: The Oprah Magazine cover, Mama Oprah is front and center. Every single one. And unless you count her dogs, she’s shared the cover only twice: Michelle Obama & Ellen Degeneres. I’m sure her editors are getting a little tired of coming up with interesting photographs and scenes in which to situate Mama Oprah.
With the dogs? Done.
The beach? Done.
Oprah on a bike? Done and Done.
Oprah as Picasso? Of course!
Riding a horse? You betcha!
So when I got the Oprah.com Newsletter email yesterday (of course I do), the featured photo of Mama Oprah made me want to punch someone in the face.
It’s just too much. Mama Oprah has gone over the edge.
A photograph of Oprah sitting in a tree, jeans rolled up, a white silk shirt, reading a book.
Really?
For serious?
You want us to believe THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

I think that’s where she goes to secretly make out with Gayle and that book is the Kama Sutra.

Patrick,
You hit that nail right on the head. Or should I say the clitoris?
I always wear my silk and dangly gold earrings for tree climbin’! Because when I fall to my death, I at least want to impress the EMTs with my style. She is getting ridiculous with the covers. Maybe next she can start in on costumes. French maid Oprah. Juggling clown Oprah. Gayle and Oprah in a two person horse costume! Crazy…
Plus I think that tree kinda looks elephant wang.
GOOD IDEA!
and elephant wang? i have a picture of that if you wanna see it.
This looks like a high school senior picture taken at Sears.

I find the tree pose (slightly) more believable than the horse. I love me some Oprah, but I wonder if even *she* gets tired herself.
P.S. Her wavy hair represents for all us curly girls!

curly hair rules.
I lost all love I had for Oprah when in a recent interview with Piers Morgan she said that the most disgusting rumour out there was that her and Gayle were a couple and how disgusted she was that anyone could even think that. So much for being okay with people being gay when it is the most disgusting thing you can think of if someone even asks if you might be happen to be gay.
I’m kinda hoping Oprah says up that tree.

i missed the part about it being a “disgusting” rumor. i’ve never thought of her as being anti-gay or close to it. but that is a strange choice of words.
I can’t get over the phrase “Dr. Phil on Good Sex” on the horse cover.
*puke* why’d you have to draw my attention to that?
Forget the tree- what about the OBVIOUS photshoping in every one of those pics??? MO has NEVER been as skinny as she appears on the beach cover- seriously? be happy being thick, girl- curves rock the world!
she was close to that small back in the late 90s, believe it or not.
I’m still pissy with the Oprah introducing the world to “The Secret” and Dr. Phil. Unforgivable.
By the by… Martha Stewart is bona fide evil, but tends to limit cover appearances on her magazines to post-prison celebration issues.
don’t knock the secret til you’ve tried it.
not that i have.
or maybe.
it could possibly work.
What?!? I could totally see her in a tree with a book!
Also, I love Oprah too, we need to get in her audience before the end of the final season! It’s our last chance!

i tried to get tix earlier this season, but didn’t get randomly picked. *sad panda*
That is awesome!! You know she sits in that tree reading on a daily basis… Probably reading the Kama Sutra guide!
