Vouge's editor in chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, is said to be anything but impressed with the woman of the political hour (Hillary Clinton) as a result of being a NO - SHOW to a Vogue, (yes Vogue, Hillary!) photo shoot. Her reasoning (if it exists) ? Vogue spokesman quotes, " We were told by Ms. Clinton's camp that they were concerned if Clinton appeared in Vogue, she would appear too feminine" (www.huffingtonpost.com). 

Too feminine quite the contrary after Clinton made a scene of herself when crying at the drop of a politically sharpened pin. Allowing her emotions to get to her was not too feminine, but mere human expression. 

Who says being human or feminine is a bad thing? Geniusly stated, Wintour quotes, " Imagine to my amazement, when Hillary Clinton, our only female president hopeful had to steer clear of our pages at this point in her campaign, for fear of looking too feminine. The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying" (www.huffingtonpost.com). Clinton just shoved away any fashion loving or girly citizen - if Clinton wants to think that Vogue is set apart for solely the lacy, the fringe, the pink, and the bows she thought wrong. Not only is Vogue known for cutting edge fashion, men and women of social power, and controversial topics - its readers do include woman and men of America. Because I read Vogue, does that make me less of a citizen? Because I am a girl and I embrace my femminity, and I would never wear a navy power suit with a crew neck tee shirt, pearls, and leather lofers (tacky) my vote is not as credible?

For a woman such as Anna Wintour to be deemed as an evil ice queen, I think that people are just withering at the feet of a strong, bold, outspoken, genuine woman who is not afraid to express her beliefs and say what is needed, although she could work on saying things a little less harshly. But, if she did she would not be our beloved nor feared Anna Wintour. Her outfits do not earn her credibility as a public and powerful figure - her actions and attitude do. Clinton could take a lesson or two from her.
