Martha Stewart Has Always Been in Control

What’s your mental image of Martha Stewart? Is it Stewart in her classic cookbooks, like Entertaining, which taught a generation how to host? Is it Stewart, as seen on Martha Stewart Living, picking flowers, harvesting eggs, and plotting out garden designs at her expansive Connecticut estate? No? Perhaps it’s a more recent Stewart then, pouting glossy lips while posing for a pool selfie or smiling on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition.
