Whoopi Goldberg is selling delightfully strange holiday sweaters
Whoopi Goldberg has come forth with a celebrity endeavor far better than “Working Out With Whoopi.” The View host and EGOT winner is debuting a line of kitschy holiday sweaters that will be available for purchase at Lord & Taylor. One features a black Santa and a white Santa going in for a kiss, another has an octopus in a yarmulke standing in for a menorah for the Hanukkah celebrators out there. A third is pretty high concept and vaguely high tech. Let’s let Goldberg explain. “There is a Christmas tree with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and on the other side, it’s a Christmas tree of how the Christmas tree sees itself, which is a big, lush beautiful thing that’s lit, and the lights light up,” she told Vogue in an interview. That’s downright inspiring, and there are even more garments in the collection. According to Goldberg, you shouldn’t really call them “ugly,” despite the traditional parlance. She insisted: “Mine are kind of ‘funny Christmas sweaters’ or ‘Christmas sweaters with a twist.’”
