Oprah's Cleaning Out Her Closet And You Could Score Her Castoffs
Cleaning out your makeup bag is one thing, but cleaning out
your closet, well, that can just be a plain old nightmare. When your closet is
as big as Oprah Winfrey’s, however, that’s when a professional interventionist
comes in handy. Luckily for O, she has one on staff at her magazine, otherwise known
as Creative Director, Adam Glassman. The queen of daytime has been doing just
that (with the help of Glassman, naturally) and you won’t believe what she’s
doing with her designer castoffs….
If you, like soooo many ladies out there, are a huge fan of
Ms. Winfrey then you will likely be overjoyed to know that starting today
(March 1) she has put 150 personal items of clothing and accessories up for
auction on eBay, to benefit the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in
South Africa. Sure, Oprah has made some questionable fashion choices in the
past (who didn't in the 80's?), but you know that amongst the style rubble there are bound to be a few gems.
It’s true that money cannot buy taste, but it can buy designers like Chanel and
Jimmy Choo and when you have them on your side, the rest just seems to fall
into place.
With The Oprah Winfrey Show leaving the airwaves next year, this just
might be your chance to own a little piece of television history. So, let the
bidding begin…or just check out the treasures and tragedies Oprah has been
hiding in her closet for the last decade!
"Oprah’s Great Closet Cleanout" gets me thinking: How often do you deal with your closet? What’s your strategy when you do it? Sounds like Oprah gets a bit anxious about it, do you get stressed or is the whole ordeal cathartic? Are you interested in owning Oprah’s old stuff or is this a ridiculous way to raise money for her charity? Discuss!
