C’mon, Vogue.
Setting all political affiliation aside, I am a little put off by the March Vogue cover. Really? Michelle Obama? I’m going to get shot for saying this (when has that ever stopped me?), but a) she is not much to look at (sorry, told you) and b) she is in no way shape or form a style icon. Granted she is, I’m sure, a wonderful, smart, interesting woman, but she is not Vogue cover worthy, I’m sorry. Save her inspirational, uplifting stories about how she is a great mother and rules the roost even though her hubby is president for Time. She is the first lady, not a covergirl.
Which leads me to my real point, since when did models stop gracing the covers of magazines? Why have they been evicted from the supermodel throne by these sassy little starlets? Call me crazy, but isn’t that what models do? Now they are just stuck with the editorials, ad campaigns, runway shows, and (gasp) showroom appointments? (more…)
