I have known Martha peripherally for decades but I have yet to watch this documentary, so I feel like I'm learning about it and her through Feminista and you astute and hilarious commenters. Keep it coming! Thank you!!

i was lying in bed when this article was posted, and i gasped audibly and shot out of bed to my computer (for a more ergonomic commenting experience). i am in love with Martha Stewart. Martha was waaay better than that other documentary that came out recently. i need to watch it again, though, i was smoking weed like crazy so there are memory gaps.

i really think she likes to fuck with people on purpose, though... and i respect it. i found a youtube video where she details what she eats in a day, and she has a juice every morning with half an orange, peel still on. WELL. i bullied my roommate into going on a juice cleanse that weekend, and included was a litre of Martha Juice. IT WAS DISGUSTING. we were belching and having diarrhea all day. why, Martha??? but i love it.

i also love how uncomfortable she makes her male guests sometimes. what a boss. these are some of my favourites:

the best Martha moment, though, i unfortunately haven't been able to find again. in it, she's cooking a chicken with a guest, and the cavity is facing her. she priggishly snaps "can you please... turn that thing around!?"

she's a good thing.
