Vogue Apparently has Standards

There seems to be a little boomlet of concern festering on the Internet as to why Donald Trump's "glamorous" wife has not been featured on any magazine covers since the Trump family moved into the White House.    The concern, or perhaps righteous indignation, is being fanned by conservative actor James Woods who whines that Mrs. Trump is being ignored because she is both too beautiful and too conservative for contemporary publications.

Melania, as a former "model," had been featured on a few magazine covers prior to and just after her marriage to Donald.  In January of 2000 she had a nude cover on British GQ alongside a headline that read "Naked Supermodel Special!"  The photos from the article as well as the cover are available on-line.  She was also featured on the cover of American Vogue in February of 2005 wearing her Christian Dior wedding dress, an outfit that, had it not been white, might have passed for something worn by Miss Kitty as she sashayed about the Long Branch in an old episode of "Gunsmoke."

So in her glam past life as a "supermodel," Melania Knauss did make some magazine covers, but since becoming the FLOTUS, crickets.

James Woods, or someone in the Trump administration, happened to notice and report that Michelle Obama, as First Lady, made the covers of twelve magazines - including three for Vogue.  Mrs. Obama, who was loved by millions for being as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, also made the cover of InStyle, Essence, and Time - among others.

Michelle Obama is a lawyer, writer, and former college administrator with degrees from Princeton and Harvard.  Melania Trump, an immigrant from Eastern Europe who some believe may have gamed the immigration system in order to be allowed to stay in the U.S., once claimed to speak several languages and to have been trained as an architect, both of which have since been proven to be false.

The Trump administration is obsessed with removing all Obama achievements from the public record, and besting the Obama team by every measure possible - even magazine covers.

And so they wheel out James Woods and a buttload of faux outrage.

Excuse me while I snicker.

And guffaw.

And ROTFLMFAO!

Mr. Woods should take his concerns to Larry Flynt who would likely arrange both a cover and a fold out in his magazine Hustler for Melanie Trump. Perhaps a video of Jared Kushner looking on as Ivanka is pleasured by virile members of ethnic groups Melanie and her husband detest could be arranged through Hustler Video.
