I’ve written before about how much I hate Oprah’s insistence on putting herself on the cover of her magazine, O, each and every month.  How self-aggrandizing do you have to be to take the center stage all the time at the expense of other worthy cover subjects?  Like turmoil in the Middle East, Paris Hilton, or ravioli?

But recently I bought myself a subscription to the magazine, because I realized that this could actually be pretty cool.  Let’s say O is made each and every month for the next 50 years.  If you clipped all the covers and put them side by side, you would eventually see a progression.  Oh sure, first Oprah would appear young and attractive:

As the years went on, she’d fight the aging process but you would begin to see definite cracks in the armor:

And finally?  That’s right.  Ladies and gentleman, the cover to O magazine, 50 years down the road:

“Don’t look at it, Marion!”

Anyway, I think the whole thing will make a great stop motion movie.  I look forward to screening it at arthouses across the country--or on YouTube--however the hell people are watching movies in 50 years.  Obviously, it’ll be for strong stomachs only.
