I still have my weathered, smudged, crinkled special edition COOKIE holiday issue. Only one name needed. I know whatever it is she has allowed us to know about her. Born and raised in New Jersey to a financially struggling, Catholic, lower middle class family of Polish descent. Editorial model, empire builder, prisoner. All of these things are true, but so many seem to hyper focus on the latter. One thing is for certain about Martha, she don’t give a fuck.

Have you watched the new Netflix docuseries on Martha Stewart? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
