The latest Vanity Fair covers have all gone to the deceased. The most recent cover was in honour of the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. There was a fold-out inside with all sorts of sassy "never before seen" photos of Marilyn wearing a bed sheet, posed around some strategically placed pineapples. It was beautiful, she was beautiful, it would have made a blind man cry, etc etc, thats not the point.
Another recent cover was Jackie O. Also a beautiful and iconic woman who is dead. What I'm trying to get at is where are all the alive iconic women? Are there no strong and confident women today who can do the cover of Vanity Fair? I would say absolutely there are, but I guess Vanity Fair doesn't think so. I don't keep tabs on who has been on the cover, but I know Marilyn has had it about 3 times. I don't know if anyone alive has been on the cover that many times- maybe George Clooney. But what about the ladies! Where my girls at? I would love to see people like Tina Fey, Ellen Degeneres and my grandmother. The ladies are out there, and since it matters to people who read magazines, they at least deserve to be invited to be covered.
