"OTOH, Martha might take to little glass boxes full of pretty plants and shiny fish..." Hmmmmm....... the LAST time I brought up her name in conversation, I think that you nearly gagged....lol... But ya know, I'd just BET that her organization WOULD be interested, IF they were approached correctly and offered something "enticing" for either the TV show OR the magazine. The lady might be a bore, but she's an incredibly canny business person and has assembed a very talented team around her, and like Liberache, she's laughing ALL the way to the bank at her critics. Now, who do we know who could appear on TV and show Martha how really beautiful a planted aquarium can be???? (hint....think Boston area.....) Or, who could be photographed with one or more beautifully planted aquariums and do an interview for the magazine??? (hint....think West Coast, close to the Bay....) I mean REALLY.....I was clicking through the channels on TV here last week and saw her doing a segment on antique tea-towels. HOW INTERESTING.....NOT! And that little guy she uses for her pet segments... don't you think that either Karen or Tom Barr would be nicer to watch???
