Martha 2.0

Try to find a press release on her site. Good luck. However, with the news about Martha Stewart's "Guilty on All Counts" verdict, I thought I'd help MSO out with some pro-bono work updating their current FAQs to reflect the new twist to her brand. It's the least I can do.


MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS ABOUT MARTHA

Q: When is Martha's birthday?

A: Martha's birthday is August 3. She will have served two months in federal prison by her next birthday, and we'll be having a nationwide contest to mark Martha's special day. Our "Bake a File in a Cake!" contest will award two lucky contestants one conjugal visit each with Martha on the weekend of their choice. To enter, video tape your recipe for baking a file into a layer or angel cake and send it to MSO. Winners will be judged on originality, taste, and length of tongue.

Q: Does Martha have a particular fragrance she wears?

A: Martha has several favorite perfumes. She often wears Fracas by Robert Piguet and Flowers by Antonia. We have exciting news on the fragrance front--Martha will be launching her own perfume brand early next year! The preliminary round of testing on Martha's patented new fragrance -- "Prison Bitch Paradise" -- is expected to be complete this fall. Prison Bitch will be available online and in major retail locations by Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho.
