Think it was a couple days ago but during a show oprah answered calls from her fans. She gave tickets to a caller and instructed her that she could bring up to four friends and not to wear the color white. Any guesses? Thanks in advance.
My guess: White washes out badly on camera. Well, it used to back when I was involved in such things.
Oprah’s racist.
That’s not true. I was watching her show one day when Tommy Hilfiger, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Liz Claiborne all three came on to say that if they’d known black people would wear their clothes they’d have made them spontaneously combust. Oprah ordered them off the show and when they wouldn’t leave she, with a little help from Best Friend Gail and drop-by guest Charo, pummeled Hilfiger and Claiborne senseless, and Gail having been knocked unconscious Oprah and Charo did a two-way on Gloria Vanderbilt (who was brandishing a broken Mouton-Rothschild bottle and a rhinestone headed nail-studded black lacquer walking cane) that I’m convinced was the inspiration for the Kenobi and Annakin take on Count Dookoo in Revenge of the Sith, complete with Charo almost decapitating the old bitch until Anderson Cooper called in and asked for clemency because “Mom’s off her lithium”. The most racist thing about the whole thing was that Hilfiger, Vanderbilt and Claiborne weren’t even guests on the show that day- it was dedicated to makeovers for homeless women, but they just dropped by to spread hate.

So Oprah’s not racist.
Though she did once tell another guest “don’t wear stripes, plaid, white, or come here with a Puerto Rican if you want to get in”.
Maybe there will be a surprise wedding on that show?
That Oprah! She so crazy!
White is bad on cemera, especially in a brightly lit studio like Oprah’s. Stripes are even worse.
As far back as my elementary school annual photo days (and that’s thirty-odd years ago), we were told not to wear white for the occasion. White is too glarey-looking on camera, and I imagine that on studio audience members it’s distracting. The audience is basically supposed to look like a uniformly darkish undifferentiated blob edging the brightly-lit stage.
The White Stripes will never be on her show.
Heh, I think the word you are looking for here is chimera.
You know it was a joke, right?
