When Oprah Met Obama
Preparing for the Big Bash; Plus, a Visual Tour of What's Happening This Week in Montecito

Burned out by the Zaca Fire and distracted by drowning in the light blue line conflict, this week Montage zipped through Montecito with a camera to snap photos of what’s making news.
STORY OF O-O (A.K.A. OPRAH AND OBAMA): First off, we drove by Oprah Winfrey’s mansion where, less than 10 days before the O-O party, things seem quiet. We hear it is a star-studded, sell-out event, attracting 1,400 supporters, with another 800 clamoring to get on the wait list. Scheduled for Saturday, September 8, 3-7 p.m., Obama’s well-wishers have been advised to dress fashionably functional – gossamer-garden-garb with flat shoes, mandatory for strolling with any grace at all across Oprah’s backyard meadows.
