Who is Mattie?

Mattie Roberts is a New York City-based media personality dedicated to helping women - and fabulous men - live their most glamorous lives. She'll show you how to cut corners to save money and still be unremittingly chic. Mattie makes no apologies for her love of artifice and the overt influence Cher and Dolly Parton have had on her aesthetic. However, she will happily unmask the pretentious or petty. Her overriding purpose in this work is to attract people who want to look and feel frisky, happy and glamorous.

Mattie has made a career out of encouraging women…and many men, to “unleash their inner divas.” She launched this website and a YouTube channel, "MattieRobertsShow," in order to help more people do just that! Mattie passes along advice from chefs and showgirls; doctors and drag queens (they do have the best beauty tips, after all) with equal enthusiasm. She's all about helping people become as glamorous as they can possibly stand to be.

She is a frequent contributor to FoxNews.com Strategy Room and represents women everywhere who are "Fabulous Over Forty" on Fox News' FNCiMag.com. As part of her speaking business, she consults with individuals and groups on developing personal style and confidence; incorporating trends into real world applications and the always popular search for "Thin Thighs and Inner Peace."

Mattie worked as a lifestyle reporter for WFAA and KTVT in Dallas and as a writer for The Dallas Morning News, as well as the Discovery Channel and MSNBC.

Her Emmy win for her hosting talents on TXCN’s “Mondays with Mattie”, is testament to the fact that among her peers, she is also well received with her unique brand of lifestyle television. Mattie began her career in television after a short stint at SMU law school. Mattie’s first job at the anchor desk was at KXII in Sherman, TX, but her real love of television blossomed when she started writing and producing her own segments on living a healthy, vibrant life.

This took her on a path to New York City where she reported for MSNBC, The Discovery Channel and made appearances on “The View”. During this time she also owned a highly successful yoga studio. As it was located only two blocks from Bloomingdales, it gave a nice balance to the spiritual and glamorous aspects of Mattie’s personality.

Mattie is a fifth-generation Texan. She graduated from the Hockaday School in Dallas and Boston University, where she received a BA cum laude in Comparative Religion. Someday, she would like to find a cure for cellulite.

She is widely suspected of being a drag queen trapped in the body of a straight woman...
