And I thought having your own magazine was getting a bit self-important.

What would it be like to walk into Oprah Winfrey's consciousness?

You can get close by walking into the new Oprah Store, a mishmash of the star's sayings, passions, gurus and even her closet, right down the street from Harpo Studios on Chicago's Near West Side.

Perhaps you'd need to make a purchase and delve deeper into the experience.

In that case, feel stress-free in an Oprah nightgown and baby-soft socks, writing in your "Passion" journal while sipping hot tea from a mug emblazoned with one of Oprah's favorite quotes. "Live Your Own Dreams" is always a heart-warmer.

If you had your own store, what would it be filled with?

If I had my own store it would be filled with similar warm and fuzzy things - or cigars and bourbon. One or the other.

I wonder if they have her favorite things, like the LG Electronics HDTV Refrigerator? A store would be great PR and business for the makers of her favorite things. I'm sure lots of people buy things because of Oprah's recommendations. Just look at what she's done with books!
