coco73 had a post about La O yesterday which was the first time I'd heard about it (poor little pop culture deprived me). It really is staggering how Oprah continues to beleive and diseminate the belief that the only true success lays in being considered acceptable and attractive within a very narrow (look at me go) confine; see her most recent episode regarding "Beauty Secrets from Around the World" (http://www.livingoprah.com/2008/11/frowning-causes-wrinkles.html). (Yes, I have super big issues with Living Oprah - but I find it an interesting idea.)
When you mentioned Living Oprah yesterday it didn't sink in much for me, as I just thought it was yet another Oprah-owned piece of media. Wow...it's weird. And it's kind of cool. How long have you been reading it?
It is so weird but it's fascinating to see what twigs as "off" (?) or unexamined for the author and how that intersects or doesn't) for me. Added to that is that it's a way to interact with this crazy pop culture juggernaught that is Oprah with a filter, other than mainstream media, in place. I started reading it in late summer? A few months ago anyway.

I wouldn't have noticed Oprah's weight changes either, if not for the explosion on the faternets. ;)
