The Influence of OPRAH


The news has been full of stories about the Influence of OPRAH. Much of this in regard to the Presidential Candidates, and her endorsement of Obama.


In my family we knew of the influence of OPRAH long ago. My Mom speaks of OPRAH the way many people speak of the Pope, or Smith Barney.


The O List was often the source of our gifts. We read books from the Oprah Book Club - well actually My Mom and her friends read the books, then passed them on to me. I must admit all were very good selections. Same for the O LIST each item is high quality.


One positive mention by OPRAH and you are off and running! Unknown designers have become famous overnight, little read authors are now household names. The Power of O!


If OPRAH ever discovered the only American producer of Antique Glass, West Virginians'


BLENKO GLASS - if she saw the beautiful colors, the shapes. She'd be hooked. After all, its a known fact with the finer things of life - likes attract!

The connect is Both Oprah and BLENKO GLASS are ICONS - - - cut/paste from dictionary def of icon
An icon (from Greek εἰκών, eikon, "image") is an image, picture, or representation; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it, or by analogy, as in semiotics; in computers an icon is a symbol on the monitor used to signify a command, file or record; by extension, icon is also used, particularly in modern popular culture, in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities. one thing, and image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance thru literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, and economic standing.
BOTH ARE WELL KNOWN and STAND OUT
among their PEERS or have NO REAL PEERS!
just my opinion (smile) someone bale me out!
