SHORT STORY...
Oprah's private moments...
Oprah always loved her private moments. It was always a few hours before her TV show started when she would be in her dressing room, all alone. Her hair and make-up had already been done in the morning before she left the house and it will all be done all over again later before the show starts. Sigh, such is the trying life of a superstar diva, she tittered to herself girlishly.
Oprah loves these quiet moments because she sometimes came up with ideas that she would later discuss with the show's producers, comprising: "Me, me and me," she gigled like a giddy schoolgirl as she powertripped.
Such alone times were treasured by Oprah and all her staff knew that and they never bothered her during these moments. This is where she had the brainwave to give every audience member a car a while back, after all. And everyone in the industry knows that the ratings of her show went up all over the world because of that.
How spectacular can one of my entrances be for one of the future show, she wondered. Then, for some strange reason, she remembered the scene with Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge where Nicole was on a trapeze above the audience. "Perhaps I should be wearing a pair of beautiful fairy wings (I'll get Vera Wang to design it!), a little tutu and ballet shoes as I swing up above the audience, and when the spotlight hits me, I shall sprinkle fairy dust on the audience as they look up and gasp," she thought to herself.
She will save that idea for the week after Halloween. For Halloween, she wanted to surprise everyone.
"I will appear in a witch's hat, with ghastly rotten green teeth and unglamarous witch's wardrobe," she thought, with the left index finger fashionable poised at her cheek as she purposefully wrote it down.
"Then, I shall rip off the drabby clothes and the hologram that is precision-projected to make my teeth rotten shall be switched off and the hologram witch's hat will also be turned off as well and my usual glamourous big hair will be revealed as the audience applauds," the words ringed in her very big head and even bigger hair as she thought about them.
She would only settle for a hologram hat as she could NEVER EVER imagine messing up her fabulous big hair do.
Then, another brilliant brainwave hit her: perhaps she should get her dentist to embed teeny weeny little diamonds on her teeth so that when she smiled at the camera in the studio, they would sparkle and bedazzle. And...
*"Knock, knock!"*
Oprah was roused from her very, very private revelry and, having adjusted her plush robe, said, "Come in." Showtime was approaching.
