Vogue magazine, the arbiter of fashion, couldn't get enough of Michelle Obama.
The same has not been true of Melania Trump. The New York Post observes:
Magazines are showing no love for Melania Trump.
The internet was in a tizzy last week when actor James Woods pointed out via Twitter that the first lady hasn’t been a muse for the magazine industry since her husband, President Trump, took office.
Woods tweeted: “If the Trumps were Democrats, Melania would be on every cover of every chic women’s magazine in the world every month.”
The tweet, which was accompanied by an old photo of the first lady sitting in a gilded chair in a pale blue strapless dress, struck a chord, garnering 62,000 likes, 20,000 retweets and 4,900 comments.
During her tenure as first lady, Melania has only graced one magazine cover — Vanity Fair Mexico — in February 2017.
Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, was an Obama fundraiser and bundler, and the fashion coverage reflected Ms. Winter's political affiliation. Mrs. Obama was on three Vogue covers (and it was Vogue in the U.S.).
Wintour met with Melania Trump in Trump Tower in December 2016, sparking rumors that Vogue coverage was in the offing.
Before Donald Trump entered politics, taking positions the fashion world largely rejects, Vogue was more hospitable to Melania Trump. When the Trumps married in Palm Beach in April of 2005, Vogue extensively covered the wedding, even dispatching Vogue's own Andre Leon Talley to help Melania purchase her Dior gown (a much-photographed shopping trip).
Take-away: in the world of fashion, it's not just the clothes.
You have to wear the right ideas and political philosophy, too.
Jerks. But, who needs them? She's got her world on a string. :)
*PING*
who reads that garbage anyways? a bunch of losers trying to figure out how much to spend on wearing what these guys tell them to wear?
I bet they lost a lot of money on those issues; I mean, a five gallon bucket of touch-up paint for each copy must've cost them a fortune.
There is no way to even calculate how many more people would buy copies of Vogue if our First Lady were on the cover.
Vogue is making a great mistake and losing out on millions.
A tad too much dress for me——I like simple.
.
Is the chilly and supercilious Anna Wintour even an American citizen?
Michel O. Get it? Jackie O.
Michel O. was/is a fashion designer’s greatest challenge.
Lip stick on a pig..etc etc.
That’s not the point. We all know that. The point IS that Melania is being ignored while the fashion pukes *SWOONED* over Michael 0bama. ;)
I agree. But with ‘The Donald’ everything IS over the top! ;)
It’s clear that Vogue is more partial to a First Lady who reminds one of “Baby’s Got Back”.
Little did she know! All Brides are beautiful, but I think she's gotten better with age.
LOL!
Yeah - making her into something s/he was not was a monumental task!
You took the worst right out of my mouth.
NOTE: "When the Trumps married in Palm Beach in April of 2005, Vogue extensively covered the wedding, even dispatching Vogue's own Andre Leon Talley to help Melania purchase her Dior gown (a much-photographed shopping trip)."

Michael Obama on *3* Vogue covers - that sums up the ridiculous bias right there. Yet an actual model who happens to be FLOTUS is chopped liver since she’s Trump’s wife.
I doubt if she cares. That genre of magazines is crap. Mostly advertisements. The few articles are dopey. IDK... maybe millennials like that shallow stuff.
yeah and how many times did these rags put photos of the shelf ass angry wookie BITCH on their covers?
Mrs. Obammy is a real work of shit,
