'Cool Chick' Martha Stewart's Unearthed '70s Photo Leaves Fans Declaring She 'Was Always a Babe!'
just shared a decades-old photo from her personal archive, and fans are swooning over both her secret obsession and her "cool chick" vibes.
The home living mogul, 83, took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 9, with the snap, which found her dressed in a halter-neck bodysuit and khaki flare pants, holding a basket full of picked berries as she stood in the middle of a garden. She also donned a white scarf wrapped around her head and a pair of groovy (couldn't pass up the opportunity to use that era-appropriate describer...) sunglasses. According to the caption of the social media post, it was taken in 1973.

The note alongside the picture also revealed that she has always had an affinity for collecting baskets—in fact, one of her properties has an entire house where she stores the ever-growing assortment.
"There is a small house on Martha's property in Bedford, New York, that is dedicated entirely to baskets," the caption read. "Over the years, she has collected baskets in various shapes and sizes from auctions, tag sales, and antiques fairs."
It went on, explaining more details about the throwback image of Stewart: "This photo, take in 1973, shows Martha holding a basket brimming with freshly-picked berries at her Turkey Hill home. Head to the link in our bio to take a tour of Martha's most beautiful gardens over the years."
Fans promptly headed to the comment section with their reactions to the old snapshot, raving over her basket obsession and youthful appearance.
One could relate, writing, "I share the same love for baskets! One can never have too many baskets! 🧺," while another exclaimed, "We would love a tour of the basket house!"
"Basket core is not a trend, it's a LIFESTYLE," a third quipped, with a fourth adding that they're "Obsessed with the basket house."
"Having an entirely separate house to hoard is my dream come true," someone else agreed, and an additional Instagram user requested, "Please share basket collection."
Meanwhile, others noticed her aura, with one proclaiming, "Martha is a cool chick," and another insisting the TV personality "Was always a babe!"
"Retro! Love it," another fan gushed.

How to Survive Back-to-School Shopping When Your Teen Wants to Buy Every Fashion Trend
Reviewed by Samantha Mann If heading back to school inevitably has your kid ready to shop, we see you. The 'need' for new clothes, shoes, and everything in between comes in hot right about now for tweens and teens, especially with the prospect of impressing their peers on the horizon. As a result, the pressure on parents heats up, too. Whether it's the newest Stanley cup arrival or that trendy pair of wide-leg jeans that seem totally impractical to us parents, the gear kids are eyeing these days isn't cheap. And even if you have the means to splurge a bit, it can be difficult to justify spending so much money on items simply because they are popular (right now) among your kids' peers. After all, they're destined to get buried in the back of their closet next fall. But before you say no straight out of the gate this year—and a battle of wills ensues with your teen—consider this insight and advice from adolescent experts which will help you find a compromise with your teen about back to school shopping. Why Trends Matter to Tweens and Teens By and large, parents just see dollar signs come back-to-school season. But it's important to know that tweens and teens see something else entirely when putting together a list of new clothes and gear they want as they head into a new grade. 'What parents need to understand is that back-to-school shopping isn't just about function — it's about identity, ' explains Caitlin Slavens, a psychologist, parenting expert, and clinic director at Couples to Cradles Counseling. 'For tweens and teens, what they wear says who they are, or at least who they're trying to be.' All of which is developmentally normal, especially between the ages 11 and 17, adds Jeannine Jannot, Ph.D., a Roswell, Georgia-based developmental psychologist and author of 'The Disintegrating Student: Struggling But Smart, Falling Apart & How to Turn It Around.' 'Kids are developing their identity, seeking independence, and placing growing importance on peer relationships and social belonging, all while trying to figure out who they are,' Jannot says. 'Parents may misinterpret their kids' desires for fashionable stuff as frivolous or over the top, without recognizing the underlying motivation, which is to fit in,' she adds. That means that when your kid is begging you for expensive clothes, try to be compassionate—of course, not everything will be in your budget, but they aren't asking because they want you to go broke. They think of these items as essential to their wellbeing. Navigating Back-to-School Must-Haves vs. Teens' Emotional Needs Nixing a request for the latest-greatest Lululemon athleisure set is completely justified, particularly if you're on a budget. However, parents should be aware that it can come with real consequences for your child's social-emotional health, according to experts. 'We evolved as social beings who require belonging to thrive,' Jannot says. 'To be left out or, worse, ostracized from the tribe was a threat to one's safety and very survival. It feels the same for today's young people who use their inclusion in peer groups to help form their identity and keep them (socially) safe.' Yeah, teens tend to be dramatic, but while it may seem like your tween's need to be on-trend is superficial, it's about acceptance. Clothing and gear in particular have become a form of social currency that helps kids feel like they belong, or that they won't stand out in the 'wrong' way, Slavens explains. Talking to Your Teen About Why Some Asks Are Out of Bounds But there's good news: You can absolutely balance your child's social-emotional needs and your budget — and even teach boundaries, financial literacy, and resilience in the process. 'The risk isn't in saying no,' Slavens says. 'It's in how the 'no' lands. If it comes with shame, judgment, or a lecture about 'materialism,' it can shut kids down or make them feel out of touch with their peers.' The goal instead is to say no with empathy by being curious, not critical. Before you say no, start by asking your child why they want the item, Slavens says. 'Is it about comfort? Durability? Fitting in? Aesthetics? If the answer is 'everyone has it,' that's a valid need in the tween and teen years.' Of course, this doesn't mean you have to buy it, but it's important to understand so you can determine what is—and isn't—worth purchasing. 'A tween who hears, 'I get why that matters to you,' is more likely to feel seen, even if the answer is still no,' Slavens adds. More Tips for Saying 'No' Before School Starts Once your child's motivation is clearer, you can validate how they are feeling, Jannot says. 'This sets up an opportunity for the parent and child to feel like they're on the same team and collaborate on solutions together,' she explains. Here are a few tips for doing just that. Speak honestly about your family's budget If an item is too expensive, experts recommend being transparent about finances. 'Parents can also give their kids spending limits or a back-to-school budget,' Jannot says. 'This helps kids to appreciate the cost of things and practice prioritizing their wants versus their needs.' You can also encourage teens to figure out ways to finance part, or all, of more expensive items, with a part-time job or chores around the house, Jannot adds. 'This approach helps kids understand the value of money,' she says. Consider more affordable options Try helping your child find more affordable versions of what they want. For example, ask: 'Can we find a similar option that fits the vibe without the $150 price tag?' Another good question to ask in this case: 'Is this something you'll use or wear regularly?' If this answer is no, it can help your child see why a cheaper option would make more sense, or at least explain to them that its impracticality is behind your decision to not purchase the item. You can also ask your child to look for the item in question second-hand, either at thrift stores or on apps like eBay or Poshmark. Press pause before making a decision Jannot also recommends parents take a wait-and-see approach regarding some purchases. Teens might be inclined to ask for certain items on impulse just because they saw it on a show, or saw a friend wearing it. But if you give them some time to consider what they really want and need for the school year, the initial appeal of certain items might fade away. 'Ask your child to wait a set amount of time, whether it's a day or a week, before deciding to spend the money,' she says. 'This creates space for both the parent and child to think it over and will help children learn to delay gratification.' Stick to your budget and values Kids are going to be frustrated, disappointed, and maybe even angry if they don't get what they want, which is never easy for parents to witness. But stay strong—try to not give in even if they have a tantrum, but also don't withhold if you have the resources just because you think their needs are strictly materialistic. 'Children need to experience challenges, setbacks, and disappointments to build their resiliency and independence,' Jannot says, which is why 'no' may be a tough answer, but it can still bring big benefits.

'It definitely worked great for the rest of my family, but for me, and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically,' she reflected on New York's Q1043 radio show in 2020.

Netflix Officially Renews WEDNESDAY for Season 3 and Plans Spin-Off Series — GeekTyrant
Netflix isn't done with the Addams family just yet. The streamer has officially renewed the hit supernatural comedy Wednesday for a third season, and that's not all… a spin-off series is also in development according to THR. This announcement comes ahead of the highly anticipated second season, which drops on Netflix August 6. The show's first season became a cultural phenomenon and shattered records, becoming the most-watched original series ever on the platform with over 250 million views. It also earned 12 Emmy nominations, including a nod for Jenna Ortega in the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category. Clearly, Wednesday is one of Netflix's biggest success stories. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton serving as an executive producer, Wednesday offers a darkly comedic reimagining of the iconic Addams Family universe. The series follows Ortega as Wednesday Addams, who finds herself expelled from her old school and sent to Nevermore Academy, a private institution for outcasts. Along the way, she navigates murder mysteries, supernatural threats, and plenty of quirky characters. The show also features Gwendoline Christie, Emma Myers, and Riki Lindhome. Myers, in particular, has skyrocketed in popularity and now leads the BBC and Netflix's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder . Season 2 is upping the stakes with an expanded cast. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have been promoted to series regulars, while new faces like Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor join the lineup. No release date for Season 3 yet, but given the massive popularity of Wednesday and the spin-off plans, it's clear Netflix is building a spooky little empire around the Addams family legacy.
