I have to admit I am not a Martha Stewart fan. Never have been. The only made-for-tv movie I've watched in probably the last 10 years was the one about her. It was hilarious in a campy, tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Definitely not flattering to Martha.
In my attempts at domestic goddessdom, I have tried some of Martha's recipes. Expensive and time-consuming and the finished product isn't always all that hot either. My friend Darr tried a dessert recipe that was a disaster. Both of us, I might add, are fairly experienced cooks who do not shy from difficult food preparation.
I have tried some Martha products. I am a big candle fan. Martha has cranberry orange scented candles that are a deep red. I loved the scent and like red, so I bought about $20 worth of them. This was a lot of candles, since they were on sale at the time.
They sucked. They burned completely unevenly, did not emit any scent while burning and didn't last very long.
I tried Martha's towels. They were not cheap. I got navy blue to match my bathroom (well duh) and they pilled up after one washing and also left little navy blue fuzzies throughout the bathroom. These are now designated dog towels.
I tried Martha's sheets. Also not cheap. Ditto on the pilling, even though the thread count was high.
I have no sympathy for Martha. Her arrogance is staggering in that she still will not admit any wrongdoing. I think her sentence is unnervingly light. Thirty grand and five months?
Let's remember what Martha did. She lied to a federal grand jury.
Are Hilary Clinton and Martha Stewart friends? I really dislike Hilary too. She gives all working women a bad name.
I think Martha Stewart is right where she belongs, although she should be spending more time there. I hate her candles too, I have a candle fetish, I get all warm inside when I get a new one!
I just read Rewriting History by Dick Morris. It's all about the crap that she has pulled in the last 25 years. I never liked her but this book really told the story of what kind of a person she is ...UGH!
