Have you been watching Martha Stewart's TV Show lately and thought those show ideas seemed familiar?
Well, I've been watching Martha Stewart's TV Show for quite some time. And, I've noticed that several of her segments have seemed pretty familiar. Hmmm, can Martha Stewart be reading Squidoo lenses -- MY lenses and other lensmasters' lenses?
If it's not Martha Stewart herself, it's got to be her staff that are obviously reading Squidoo lenses for ideas to feature on her TV show! Some of you might say it's just a coincidence, but I don't know about that! Maybe Martha Stewart is just on the same wave length as me? Or, better yet ... she and her staff have recognized the topicability of Squidoo lenses? Hey, Monkeybrain, is topicability a word?
Let me show you what I'm talking about ... as you scroll down through this lens, you'll first see the segment(s) from Martha's shows immediately followed up with my lens(es). You be da judge. Compare and judge for yourself ... IS Martha Stewart reading MY lenses?
Read my lens and tell me what YOU think!

Martha Stewart is My Hero T-Shirt by jaguarjulie
More Martha stewart T-Shirts
This very lens had been cooking in my mind for a while; i.e., each day that I do happen to catch the Martha Stewart TV Show, and hear a segment that sounds a wee bit familiar, I've made a mental note.
When the Martha Stewart Show came on and she again discussed FAUX BOIS -- well, I knew I had to MAKE this lens FINALLY! I unfortunately hadn't kept notes along the way to document the segments that related to my already-created lenses, so it meant lots of research. But, Martha is a bit like me [thankfully] ... we're both a bit AR and perfectionists so much so that it usually drives the men in our lives absolutely batty ... she's got a great website with 'documentation' of her previous shows. I spent quite a bit of time researching the previous show archives to assemble this 'somewhat' scientific list.
P.S. TIP for you! If you are lacking for inspiration on Squidoo lens ideas, please take a look at Martha's website and browse the show archives. You'll get plenty of ideas ... but, please DON'T tell Martha I told you to do that and please don't do another lens on polish pierogi as our waistlines can't handle any more of that ethnic comfort food. ;-)

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Is Martha Stewart reading Squidoo lenses for ideas?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byThe evidence would surely point to YES!
TopStyleTravel says:
It is possible Julie. After all your lenses are quite good reading. And they have that perfect sort of Martha Stewart look. Maybe she will invite you to her show, that would be cool.
Posted July 15, 2009
badmsm says:
So what you do is make a REALLY whacky lens (like "washing your hair with cheese"). That will prove your theory for sure! ;)
Posted July 07, 2009
Hmmm, the evidence seems flimsy at best.
access2 says:
I'm sure the Martha Stewart Living staff draws their inspiration from a number of sources, but the statistical probability of your inference is essentially zero.
Posted May 18, 2009
A fan sounds off: "the statistical probability of your inference is essentially zero."
Hey, give me a shout out ...
Did you enjoy this lens? Have you been inspired to create a lens? Did you find that perhaps some of your ideas ALSO appeared on the Martha Stewart TV Show???
FYI, Martha Stewart Living has visited my lenses and my blog on more than one occasion!
I've suggested to ChefKeem that he ought to submit some of his videos to the Marthat Stewart Show as I think he would make for a great guest chef.
