Vogue Magazine “Too Feminine” For Hillary Clinton
January 21, 2008 Posted in Buzz
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is just rubbing folks the wrong way left and right these days.
This week, it’s America’s Fashion Mavens that the former First Lady has left with bunched panties.
Hillary has turned down a spot on an upcoming cover of Vogue Magazine amidst worries that any affiliation with the fashion mag will make her appear “too feminine” for the role of president.
Hillary Clinton…feminine? You know…somehow, I don’t think that’s going to be a problem!
“We were told by Ms. Clinton’s camp that they were concerned if Clinton appeared in Vogue that she would appear too feminine,” a Vogue spokesman recently said in a statement.
The phrase WTF springs to mind, but what you do think of Hillary’s decision?
Hillary’s Vogue diss has left the Style Bible’s editor, Anna Wintour, tapping her Blahniks in frustation.
Anna briefly addressed the snub in her February editor’s letter, stating: “The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying.”

I agree with the Vogue editor about how distressing it is that Hillary should even have to worry about these thinks as a Presidential candidate. Most of the other candidates wouldn’t bat an eye at being asked to be on the cover of GQ. I think she should be able to do it, but I also think that she’s right. Also, there is the SLIGHT possibility that she doesn’t really want to be on the cover of Vogue.

It’s the whole “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t” If she does, she may not be taken seriously by the public therefore loosing her votes, if she doesn’t she appears to be promoting the idea that being a woman isn’t good enough to run for presidency you have to be masculine for anyone to take you seriously, and well, that idea just rubs some people the wrong way, so she’ll lose votes there too. I’m not a fan of Mrs. Clinton but this kind of makes me feel sorry for her. Kind of.
