Other than Michelle Obama, I can't think of one actress Vogue cover that is not a blatant shilling of her next film, and never small art films. There is no effort at uncovering and presenting true new talent or even a range of diversity and talent, and there is way too much emphasis on Hollywood. Coincidently, I just read that minorities make up 34% of the U.S. population now, but you would hardly know that from reading Vogue.<br /><br />I sincerely hope that Anna Wintour's 9th inning effort at publicity is not enough to keep her at Vogue. She's been asleep at the helm, or towing someone else's line for way too long, and it's a bore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-61060563388108547592009-05-12T19:54:00.000-04:002009-05-12T19:54:00.000-04:00A beautiful article.

But I completely understand what you mean, the magazines had an aspirational feel to them. It was about a complete lifestyle even though we knew it was a fantasy lifestyle it was still beautiful and you could manage to lose yourself in the world that the magazines created.<br /> <br />Now I look at those same magazines and everything seems crass and one dimensional. The fantasy is gone, the beauty is gone.........the joy is gone.RRnoreply@blogger.com
