Kelly Wearstler, Queen of Maximalism

I am not sure if I should be embarrassed to admit that CBS' Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood is seriously one of my favorite televisions shows of all time.  Should that confession be placed in the guilty pleasure category or is it standard to love Sunday Morn?  Please advise. 



Well, if it is in the former embarrassment category, you may not have seen the piece on Kelly Wearstler yesterday morning.  Sunday Morning always does a great job of combining true human interest-y fun facts and warm sometimes folksy interviews with legitimate information.  Regarding Kelly, I learned that she posed for Playboy in the 90s and has a 98 year old "lovey" named Frank, but also was intrigued to hear her thoughts on color.  A great balance for 8:00 am on a Sunday morning.

I thought the interview was light and fluffy and interesting.  If you are intrigued, you can read it here.  (Still trying to find a clip of the interview and will post if I do!)

Cheers,

JSH

  6. I must admit that I am completely ignorant of all morning shows. If I ever take the time to figure out how to watch the network stations on my tv, I will have to check it out...
