Oprah Obsession

I would call myself a fair-weather Oprah fan.

I have watched on and off over the 25 years (I was in college when she started with her show), but never religiously.  Typically, if the previews looked good, I'd start watching, but if the show didn't capture me or connect with me in the first 5 minutes, I turned the channel.  And in those 25 years, only two shows really stick out in my mind...

One...In 1987 (or thereabouts), she had a show where she wanted people to write in with their obsessions about sports figures.  My college roommate, Kim, had an ENORMOUS thing with KC Royals baseball player, George Brett.  Long story short, she got on the show and got to meet George. 

Two...in this season, when she reunited the cast of "The Sound of Music" last November - which is my all-time favorite movie and an obsession of mine.  I still have the episode TiVo'd and I do watch it occasionally.

So, intrigued with all the hoopla of her final episodes this week, I did sit down and watch her last show on Wednesday, May 25th.  It was a very nice show, entertaining, the messages were good, and I even wrote down a couple of quotes.  But, there was really just one thing that captured my attention throughout the entire show...

Her pink dress.

I loved it.  I wanted it.  I became obsessed with it.  I loved the color, the cut, the style, the funky sash...and I kept wondering if it was silk because she never sat down (I'm sure for fear of wrinkling it).  And I want one just like it.

Just as millions of fans are obsessed with Oprah, I am obsessed with that dress.




**And if anyone knows where I can find a dress like it (I'm sure I can't afford the designer dress) - let me know!! **
