(21,020 posts)I canceled a subscription to her magazine someone had bought for me some years ago.
One particular section featured a bunch of products she found handy or cute or nice for gift giving or whatever.
Yeah. The stuff was nice.
The prices, however, were not. Who the hell was she hawking this stuff to, anyway?
If her target audience was middle class women, she was way off base.
Candles and bath products costing over $100?
Shoes...$500 or more?
Pillows! Pillows for $75 or better?
She IS clueless. She has obviously forgotten the poverty of her early years.
And it's almost like she's rubbing the noses of less affluent women in HER success with her totally insulting presentation of things they will probably never be able to afford.
So others will say she earned it, she can spend it any way she wants. OK, that's true.
But she doesn't have to be an ass about it, AND she doesn't have to be so public about the good works she does.
I admire people who do good works under the radar and are only found out by accident...not by shameless self-promotion.
Oprah is indeed clueless.
