A brief examination of world cultures, if you will:
This blurry pic--I smudged the camera lens when I took it out of my pocket--is the four different Vogue magazines at the Mexico City airport. Counter-clockwise from top left: on French Vogue, we have a random gorgeous model with interestingly-flawed teeth, making the world a better place through the exploration of bodily imperfections; Italian movie star and glamour icon Monica Bellucci graces the cover of Spain Vogue, in what I hope is a faux fur; on Mexico Vogue, we have supermodel Gisele: and then on American Vogue, we have...Anne Hathaway?
America is in a rut.
I realize that picture is smudged and hardly accurate, but Monica Bellucci looks 20 in that picture. Truly the world's most perfect woman. Fuck you, Angelina!

Too bad you didn't get a shot of Italian Vogue (the best one of the international editions).
Fashion and art in one magazine.

Ooooo, yeah. For those of you who like a good fashion fight -- Cathy Horyn had a big takedown of Anna Wintour in a recent New York Times.
Basically saying what you just did (but not as succintly!)

I think that's Vanessa Paradis, Johnny Depp's baby mama.

YES it is French Pop Icon and Muse Vanessa Paradis on Vogue France, and I just want to say that in most of the international Vogue's (Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, etc) the covers are always glorious!...we get them here in Canada.

No, Anna Wintour is in a rut. Her style, from her magazine covers to her poofy knee-length skirts is more or less immaculate but hasn't changed in a decade.
