Beauty of my Dreams
Thanks to a reminder from Heewig, I taped the Oprah "Favorite Things" show yesterday and watched - agog - as she showered gifts upon her audience (who, to their credit, looked truly stunned and grateful) and gave lots of products LOTS of publicity. Honestly, though, there were only two gifts that I would really want: the MAC Makeup bag (duh), and the fuzzy bathrobe (even though I never wear one).
I don't really watch Oprah, she's on at 4 pm here and I do yoga almost every day at 4:30. When I do catch her, though, I'm often amazed at her conspicuous consumption...for some reason I thought that - given her humble beginnings - she'd be more, well, humble in regards to her wealth and fortune. I think she handles her fame fairly well and does a lot of good for a lot of people, but seriously, a whole show about Oprah's first trip to CostCo? Girl's lost touch with real life.
In other news, I think I'm getting sick. UGH.

An informal poll: What is your position on Uggs?

Uggs: I know you hate them, but I do not. I also don't own a pair, and don't like the colored ones, but I can't help thinking how nice and warm and soft they would be after yoga class. I just wish they weren't so trendy.

Thank you, Jenny. I was feeling very out of place for not hating the Uggs. Hee.
I actually bought a pair off Zappos last year (the mule kind, not the boot) but returned them.
But I agree - too trendy.

The way the girls at school are wearing the Uggs is over sweatpants, with one pant leg covering the Ugg, and one pant leg tucked in. Not quite sure what to make of that look.

"Not quite sure what to make of that look." Um...I am. That's just wrong.
