I might have to start buying Vogue magazine.

Vogue Magazine Refuses to Have Melania Trump on Their Cover — and Melania’s Camp is Furious About it

Oh, PLEASE!!! Good for Vogue for taking a stand!!!

By George DAVINE - June 23, 2019

Michelle Obama got the coveted cover three times, Melania won’t even get it once

Melania Trump’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham hit back Friday at Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s choice to not feature the first lady on its cover.

“To be on the cover of Vogue doesn’t define Mrs. Trump, she’s been there, done that long before she was First Lady,” Grisham shared in a statement.

“Her role as First Lady of the United States and all that she does is much more important than some superficial photo shoot and cover,” she added. “This just further demonstrates how biased the fashion magazine industry is, and shows how insecure and small-minded Anna Wintour really is.”

Actually, Teen Vogue has had some pretty awesome political articles. I was surprised and encouraged to see them in a teen fashion magazine.

The only time I've seen Meryl Streep intimidated was when she talked with Wintour about the fashion world when she was doing "The Devil Wears Prada." It was the only time I ever saw Streep kinda awed. Imagine! Usually people are too awed about her...

Elle, Bazaar, W, In Style, Allure, etc? Not that I can recall. How about the covers of other mens' mags such as Playby, Penthouse, GQ Men, etc? Really, what covers has she been on?

It would be great if they responded to Grisham’s bullshit by putting some nude pics of melani-O on the cover.

The cover is what sells. She has questionable taste, but we really don't care do we?

Nothing these cretins want more than to be accepted by elite NYers. But it will never happen.
