Anna Wintour Is Going To Run Conde Nast Forever

Anna Wintour Is Going To Run Conde Nast Forever

Do you ever wonder what is going to happen to Anna Wintour in her twilight years? I often wonder that. And then I think those twilight years are going to be 200 years from now, because I am pretty sure that Anna Wintour is a vampire. Why? Because vampires are pretty steely and intelligent (you’ve never heard of a dumb vampire) and Anna has looked exactly the same for 20 years. That is just my personal theory though!

Or maybe I’m wrong, and expensive fashion and poverty stricken disaster areas are just two great tastes that taste great together. How do you feel? More »
