One thing I am fascinated with is that she created her own accent to get rid of the Jersey-isms in her speech. She used to talk like a grrrrrl from the mall. She did this on her own through sheer will and TMJ syndrome.
And then I saw Jillian (is that right?) on Project Runway and realized that was what she was doing as well which is why she had that odd habit of clenching her jaw when she spoke. She wasn't up to Martha level, but she's getting there.
I especially enjoy her blog [www.themarthablog.com] comment, "...In these tough economic times, harmony is essential within the working environment. I must also inform you that we use a great assortment of writing implements from the Martha Stewart crafts line available at Michael's Crafts and Walmart."
Because in these tough economic times, we want to strengthen the economy and increase workplace harmony by buying lots and lots of Martha Stewart Writing Implements. And that's what I intend to do as soon as I finish rolling these pennies...
@TheodoraGoesWild: I have Martha Stewart writing implements. They were actually the best value in colored felt pens the day I was at Michaels.
I used to watch her show until once she was showing how to make fancy guest towels out of plain towels and lace and I realized I was sitting in front of the television watching someone sew.
But I collage a lot in my journal so I do occasionally buy scrapbooking supplies and hers are fairly tasteful and sophisticated comparatively.
But when the dust settles, and we find ourselves on the other side of this mess, Martha will be hailed as a hero for allowing her employees to funnel the money they would have spent on pens to save their homes from foreclosure. I know we lack the perspective to see it now, but let's be careful with the snark lest we say something that can't be taken back.
@TRex has hips but he's not a hipster: The only reasonable, adult color to write in is black. Of course you really know that, right? Unless you are going for an antique look in which case you can use sepia fountain pen ink.
@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Oh, Uncle, Martha hasn't felt anything in years, and besides, to feel bad, she'd first have to realize they were laughing at her, and she's totes not capable.

(and maybe good for Goldman - quality books of business will move to a firm that can pay for them) #bailouts

Geesh. Either she has total self-awareness or completely lacks it.

Just wait. We'll see how Martha's serfs subvert her dominant paradigm. Creativity? We ain't seen nothing yet.

I would rather eat tacks than write in black or red.
Not that I would ever be hired by Martha Stewart ever in a million years to do anything ever.
