Kirstie Alley’s bikini reveal on Oprah exemplifies pseudo-empowerment stunts that permeate pop culture
I Think About This a Lot is a series dedicated to private memes: images, videos, and other random trivia we are doomed to play forever on loop in our minds.
We weren’t devoted fans, it was usually just on in the background while we were making dinner. By 2006, Oprah was well into “live your best life, embrace the law of attraction” Oprah. I mostly remember the more sensational family drama segments that veered perilously close to supermarket tabloid territory — episodes about being “hooked on plastic surgery at age 28” or “extreme miracles captured on tape.
Apparently I’m not alone in thinking of the episode as memorable because that time “Kirstie Alley Donned a Bikini” is the first segment on an Orpah.com listicle titled “Remember When?” Kirstie’s moment is followed by that time “Mel Gibson Smoked Onstage,” “Lindsay Lohan Addressed the Tabloid Rumors” and “Oprah Danced with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
When the moment finally came, sliding doors at the back of the stage parted and — out of the darkness and fog — Alley strode down a catwalk constructed just for this very purpose.
