Presumably Ms. Wintour won't be sending one as a gift for the dogs of her favorite murderous dictator.
At last night’s Runway to Win event in Chicago, U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour announced some new, perhaps unexpected, designer products in the campaign’s Runway to Win online store: ‘Bark for Obama’ designer pet products.
And the real story is that she wants a job from Obama: Ambassador to England.
Story at the Washington Post:
Her younger brother is currently the political editor for The Guardian, which has reported on Wintour’s desire for the ambassadorship. (A trial balloon, perhaps?)
She is also a bundler for Obama, and on Thursday is hosting a dinner along with “Sex and the City” star Sarah Jessica Parker for Obama, Michelle Obama, whom she has advised on fashion matters, and two lucky winners of a small-donor raffle for the president’s re-election campaign...
Wintour came under fire last year when Vogue featured a glitzy profile on Syria’s controversial, but glamorous, first lady, Asma al-Assad. On Sunday, Wintour finally released a statement about the magazine’s coverage on the wife of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad....
The escalating atrocities in Syria are unconscionable and we deplore the actions of the Assad regime in the strongest possible terms.”
It’s unclear if Wintour’s statement came as a result of White House pressure but certainly she is becoming a surrogate for the campaign as she appears in video ads and hosts more and more high profile fundraisers in a highly-charged election year.
