Martha’s Miscalculation
Martha Stewart is one of the smartest businesswomen in the world. Despite the fact that I think she’s likely a raging bitch on a personal level, I respect her business acumen. And I may be one of the few people who can’t stand her, yet think it is absolutely wrong that she’s in prison.
However, she made a glaring miscalculation, when her team lost the prison decorating contest. The first rule of show-business, entertainment, as well as decorating and business is to know your audience.
Martha’s team constructed paper cranes to be hung from the ceiling. An inventive, classy touch, that would take her far in the circles of nor’eastern society. The winning team, however, created pictures showing snow and the outdoors. If you’re in prison, are you going to vote for hanging paper cranes, or the memories of freedom, sledding down snowy hills and seeing clouds on a blue sky? C’mon Martha, you’re smarter than this!
