'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.

Hulk Hogan's Son Nick Breaks His Silence on Dad's Death, Details His Final Years: 'Thank You for Being My Best Friend'
The former pro-wrestling superstar was 71 when he died on Thursday, July 24 Nick Hogan is remembering his father Hulk Hogan as both his "best friend" and the "best dad in the world." On Saturday, July 26, the 35-year-old son of the late pro-wrestling star shared an emotional tribute to Instagram, two days after Hulk died at the age of 71. Alongside 20 photos of himself and his father, Nick posted a lengthy caption, thanking those who've reached out to him and calling Hulk's death "overwhelming and extremely difficult." "Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting," Nick wrote. "My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world." "He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend. He always has been my best friend and I love him and miss him more than I could ever explain," he continued. "I thanked him for everything he has ever done for me and told him how much I loved him and hugged him every chance I got. I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories. They are the best moments in my life." Nick concluded his tribute by writing that he'd "do anything to have him back," before acknowledging Hulk is now "watching over" him. "I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and carry on in a way that I know would make him proud," he wrote. "Thank you for being the best dad in the world and thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever." The emotional tribute featured photos of Nick and Hulk spanning three decades — from a screenshot of a WWE broadcast featuring the father-son duo wearing matching "Hulkamania" attire to a snap of them years later in matching white button-up shirts. In the photos, Nick and Hulk could also be seen working out together at the gym, smiling on a private jet, driving on a road trip and even behind a DJ booth — as the post wrapped with one final photo of Nick showing off his muscles next to his father. Several fans and friends shared their condolences with Nick in the post's comments section, with professional wrestler Nattie Neidhart recognizing his "beautiful words" and Lil Jon sharing some additional love. Nick's last post on the platform came just over a month prior to his father's death, when he wished Hulk a happy Father's Day, alongside a throwback snap of the duo striking a pose when he was a kid. The WWE confirmed the news of Hulk's death on Thursday in a statement shared with PEOPLE. First responders spent 30 minutes attempting to revive Hogan this week after being called to his home for a reported cardiac arrest at 9:51 a.m. on Thursday, before he was pronounced dead at a hospital. Beyond his accomplishments in wrestling throughout his lifetime, Hogan also faced multiple controversies in recent years, including backlash for his support of President Donald Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention and a racist rant leaked in 2015 — which he later called "unacceptable" in an apology. Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, shared both Nick and daughter Brooke with ex Linda Hogan, whom he was married to from 1983 until 2009. His wife, Sky Daily, also posted a tribute to the reality television star after his death this week, confirming that he 'had been dealing with" health issues. 'I wasn't ready for this…and my heart is in pieces,' Daily, his third wife, wrote on Friday. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.' 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process,' she added. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.' Read the original article on People

Ty Haney Is Ready to Give Outdoor Voices Another Go
It's likely to at least catch the attention of current and former fans of the brand; Haney's challenge now is to successfully introduce the OV aesthetic — heavily associated with millennials — to Gen Z women. To do so, she's updated her go-to-market strategy. Outdoor Voices was part of the direct-to-consumer (DTC) retail gold rush of the 2010s, flush with VC cash, which she says eventually diluted her business to the point where she lost control. Gone are the days where a brand's trajectory could be supercharged thanks to Facebook and Instagram arbitrage. Haney now has a new trick up her sleeve thanks to Try Your Best (or TYB), the community rewards platform she launched in 2022 during the Web3 boom, which raised $11 million last month from investors including Offline Ventures and Strobe Ventures. The concept behind TYB is that brands can build fan channels and reward subscribers with early launches, discounts and more, while using the community to gauge new ideas, get feedback and build brand loyalty. Haney's CBD brand Joggy was one of the first to launch on TYB, while other brands on the platform include Glossier, Rare Beauty and Poppi. Outdoor Voices will go live on TYB this week with the product launch, giving those that join early access on 4 August. 'Really, TYB was a direct reaction to what worked and what didn't at OV. It came from understanding the power of community,' she says. With all Outdoor Voices stores closed, the focus is on e-commerce, though Haney says they're in talks with some select retail partners. Some collaborations that will hit on new categories are in line for spring. The Sun Shirt. Photo: Outdoor Voices The Sugar Cardigan. Photo: Outdoor Voices It's clear speaking to Haney that she's back in her element. She says TYB, Joggy and Outdoor Voices are three pieces of the brand world she's building. She has big ambitions, saying that she wants Outdoor Voices to be the next Patagonia (a brand more reflective of her current time spent between her hometown of Boulder, CO, and San Francisco). When she left in 2020, Outdoor Voices was at around $90 million in annual sales; the plan is to hit a new revenue high in the next 12 to 18 months. But she says she's not thinking about growth targets so much as she is building something that lasts, and she says the partners that she has in place this time feel like ones she can trust, ones that she had time to vet and get to know before deciding to return. She's stepping back in as a part owner of the company she started, which was a non-negotiable. 'Ownership matters a lot to me,' Haney says. 'How we fund the company, what the expectations are. That matters.' What happened with her first run at Outdoor Voices feels present. While she initially says she's 'put a bow on those eight years, and I'm very kind and grateful to them', she later addresses how difficult the period was. 'I'm an optimistic person. I think I blocked out those years.' Haney is not the only female founder of her era that left her company in a blaze of allegations of mismanagement and workplace toxicity. Is it vindicating to return? 'From a founder perspective, challenges are par for the course,' she says. 'But I don't think that era where there were so many takedowns was good for women wanting to be founders. So at the end of the day, I couldn't be more excited for this to be a model to show what's possible, and I hope that there's a wake of new interest from young women, to see what's possible in the brand and business-building world.'
