What are your thoughts on Martha Stewart? Not necessarily her current dilemma. Thanks.

Oh, kudos to Martha for her business acumen (her current situation notwithstading), but I personally have never been an artsy-crafty type, don't watch HGTV or the Cooking Channel so Martha's stuff just never appealed to me.

I can cook a fine meal when necessary and my home is decorated nicely (by yours truly), but I just don't go overboard about that stuff.

Proud to be a member of such a worthy group! :)

Thanks for your thoughts. I too have to give credit for her business acumen. What I find sad, is here is a womam who found a nitch in a market for young women who grew up with the liberal mindset for career over home arts, which they should have learned at their Mother's and Grandmother's knee. Maybe I am being simplistic, but I don't think so in talking with young women in late 20's and 30's, their thoughts being my observation was pretty much right on.

I'm an artsy craftsy type: crochet, knitting, woodwork, sort-of-kind-of tol painting (of a sort)...Martha's stuff is just gross.

Reminds me of a Sylvestor Stallone/Wesley Snipes movie...can't remember the name of it...Stallone's a cop, cryogenically frozen for a crime he didn't commit (of course); Snipes is a crook, cryogenically frozen for a crime he DID commit, and programmed with all sorts of special knowledge so when they both wake up in the future, Stallone is tortured by a PC-ified culture that has 'shells' for toilet paper, nothing for music but commercial jingles, citations for 'offensive language' and knitting, while Snipes has learned all of this stuff to make him a super crook and totally dominate....it was the PC-ified future that I remember most....

That's the only description I can think of for Martha's world.

Anyone else remember that movie?? And the TITLE??
