It used to be so easy hate Martha Stewart, but the grizzled business mogul who could turn popsicle sticks, caramel drizzle and metal scraps into some sort of wedding centerpiece has seemingly eased up in recent years. On her talk show, Martha not only pokes fun at herself, but often lets guests do the same. Maybe prison softened Martha, but the lady looks as if she's unclenched her fists and learned to take life with a grain of hand-harvested sea salt.

Turns out Martha's even blogging, too, and Urlesque came across an incredible photoblog post via Boing Boing in which Westchester's prettiest jailbird documented a trip to the local DMV. Martha's ability to make an event out of the most plebeian and ignoble of trips only further demonstrates her finally having become a caricature of herself, and in the sweetest way possible. I mean, really, she may look nice, but would you really want to anger a woman whose khaki capris possess nary a wrinkle? Those pants do, indeed, speak words (1,000, to be exact, none of which are necessarily comforting).



The best part of all of this is, of course, playing the guessing game of whether or not Martha's actually blogging. Could there really be a ghostwriter talented enough to dream up a preface as authentic as "I had flown to Maine and there was a window of opportunity between returning home and immediately packing my bags for an expedition to Iceland"? We thought not, until we initially noticed Martha's shoutout to Cute Overload before she even "pulls a Perez":



Hmm, that seems a bit ominious, no? What's next? Martha teaching Craig Newmark how to make ads hawking used air conditioners look a bit more "lovely"? Martha schooling Arianna Huffington on how to aggregate news with Internet pipe cleaners?

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter who's writing Martha's blog, because as long she keeps churning out posts about visiting the DMV or trimming her donkeys (SFW), we'll be reading.
