Hillary Turns Down Vogue But "Appears" In Bazaar

Hillary Clinton was careful enough to sidestep the pages of Vogue, but not enough to avoid Harper's Bazaar. The senator pulled out of a photo shoot with Vogue in the fall for fear of appearing too feminine, causing that magazine's editor in chief, Anna Wintour, to write an editor's letter voicing her disappointment. But Clinton appears alongside a model wearing a miniskirt and platform heels in a spread called "The Politics of Fashion" in Bazaar's February issue. The spread also includes Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson (who dropped out of the race on Tuesday), Barack Obama, John Edwards, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg.

So how did Bazaar get all those fast-traveling presidential candidates to stand around and pose with models? Easy: the camera lies. Photographer Peter Lindbergh shot model Nadja Auermann near life-size cutouts of the candidates.

That little monster named Anna Wintour tried to put a fur coat on Hillary, Hillary said not a chance.
I don't do fur and neither does my daughter.
Anna is really into wearing animals of any kind.
As she says, I support anything that supports fashion.
Does that include Dogs? some of your friends coats where found out to have dog fur in them.
HILLARY, stay the hell away from this person, she will only cost you votes, mine included.
Hillary has so much more integrity any anyone else running.

Bazaar - how fitting.

What we know about Republicans is they do not vote "FOR" issues or leaders, they won't "AGAINST" whatever they are told to fear at the moment. With this insight, Dems need to vote strategically. All of the Republican candidates have major flaws, including and especially McCain. None of them appeal to all the factions of the conservative voter. McCain has problems with the neocons who want the US to be Jack Bauer in 24 and torture, he has problems with the bigots- amnesty for illegal immigrants, anyone? And Wall Street? He is against Bush's tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

So, in order for him (or any Republican) to win, the Dems need to have a candidate they can promote as something to fear far worse than the differences they have with the Republican nominee.

Unfortunately Hillary and Obama can deliver the red meat they need to instill enough fear into republicans to drive them to the polls. Whether it be Clinton hating, fear of women in control, fear of a black man in control, fear of a (wink wink) possible muslim in control, Bill Clinton's penis, etc, etc.

John Edwards is the only candidate that will not only adhere to the Dem principles, but most importantly, the Republicans are not going to be fearful enough of a white southern man (albiet with great hair and a big house) to vote for a Republican they can't fully get behind.

Hillary and Obama will still be in the Senate and still have fabulous futures ahead in the party (if their bickering doesn't completely destroy them and us). Vote strategically. Edwards is our only hope and the GOP's worst nightmare. It's about time we stop shooting ourselves in the foot and feeding the monster.

Go Edwards Go!

Yeah,

She sure is bizarre.

Why won't Hillary wear a skirt is she hiding something or what.It's nothing wrong with a woman being feminine every once and awhile.I don't believe she's ever been photographed in one.What's the deal, does she have "cankles" or Nancy Reagan legs.Come on Hillary, show us your gams.

Tyra Banks did a great job interviewing Hillary.In fact, I now watch Tyra Banks show.It's great that Bazaar did a piece on Hillary. The comment above, Hillary doesn't have a jealous disposition at all,She knows Bill loves her and is a great father to Chelsea,their daughter.

[Nommo]

She dresses in the old "Chairman Mao style", is that a bizarre thing?

Sorta like Hillary choosing the Tyra Banks Show to talk about Bill's infidelity. Not Barbara, not Katie and not Diane Sawyer, but Tyra Banks...Now I love Tyra Banks, and I think she has been smart and entrepreneurial as a former Super model. But she certainly doesn't have the skill to hold old Hillary's feet to the fire about Bill's philandering and how he set it up for Bush to fly into the White House after Bill's public humiliation of his daughter and his wife with Monica. So Hill picks an audience of mostly 18-20 year old young women to talk about "how she always knew that Bill always loved her" Gimme a break...it was a set up to get her side of the story out there on record without having to do the hard work an EXPERIENCED reporter would have required of her. Same with Bazaar vs Vogue...except I think it was a bit more personal didn't Vogue do a piece on Hillary's aide being so chic....might have made the boss and she is not quite so chic as her aide...she may not have wanted the comparison...also Baraar is a bit more down scale than Vogue...thus more likely to be seen by Hillary's older blue collar Demographic...remember behind everything Hillary does is a strategy...and the slightest bit of jealousy...I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary is not mad a Barack because he is a so much better husband to Michelle than Bill ever was to her.
