Anna Wintour came down from Mount Vogue to be questioned by “60 Minutes.” Father Time interviewed the Vogue Editrix to give her an opportunity to try and convince us she isn’t an ice queen, but lovely and fluffy kitten who just loves to be right.
The interview omitted several omissions by Wintour. One edited question surrounded her preference for stick thin cover girls. In 1998 Oprah landed a cover spot with the Fashion Bible. Being notoriously up and down with her weight issues, Anna asked the talk show queen to loose 20 pounds.
Via Us:
“It was a very gentle suggestion,” she said, laughing. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”
She added: “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”
Near the end of the interview the question of contracts came up. Conveniently enough, her contract is about to expire with Vogue. Rumors that ‘Nuclear Wintour’ was on her way out have been swirling for nearly a year. French Vogue Editor, Carine Roitfeld is the front runner to replace her should she be axed or retire. So it is of little surprise that Team Wintour is popping up in the media more often as the contract negotiations are eminent.
It must be lovely being a queen.
