The Devil Wears Obama: Anna Wintour Offers Chance of Mingling With Fashionistas
Are you rich and famous and very fashionable? Probably not but good news! Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue magazine, has invited a couple of you peons to experience a momentary thrill in your dull lives by hanging out with the glitterati at an exclusive New York fundraiser for Obama. Here is Wintour, on the heels of yet another terrible economic report, making her offering to briefly breath the same air as the liberal elite:
Hi, I’m Anna Wintour. And I’m so lucky in my work that I’m able to meet some of the most incredible women in the world, women like Sarah Jessica Parker and Michelle Obama. These two wonderful women and I are hosting a dinner along with the president in New York City to benefit the Obama campaign on June the 14th.
And here is Wintour, upon whom the character of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada was based, opening up the possibility of mingling with the fashionistas:
It will be a fantastic evening and you can join us. We're saving the two best seats in the house for you but you have to enter to win. You can enter right now by going to barackobama.com/NewYorkNight.
Sarah Jessica and I both have our own reasons for supporting President Obama but we want to hear yours. So please join us but just don't be late.
That Wintour pitch, coming in the middle of tough economic times, seems to have the same feel as Marie Antoinette offering a couple of peasants a chance to hang out with King Louis XVI and the aristocrats just as the Bastille was being stormed.
The most amazing thing about this Wintour video was it was actually released to the public by the Obama campaign itself. Perhaps they wanted to supply us with more comedy material.

Why isn't it on JULY 14, Bastille Day? It would be appropriate.
Let me eat cake, Mz. Wintour - never mind, think I'll skip your invitation, as I got a pretty good case of lack of appetite.

Imagine if the (so very rich) Mitt Romney did the same type of event.
Imagine the howls in the media if Ann Romney pranced around in some ever so fashionable expensive designer gowns.
Wouldn't it be great if one of us ig'nant

conservatives were to win? Just fake the entry form and fake it at the event for the first hour, and then slowly let them have it. How long before they gave him the bum's rush?

I'll go! I'll go! Gonna put on my DayGlo orange three piece pimp suit, my size 16 Michael Jordan green sneakers, gonna take a bath using that bar of brown laundry soap they gave me when I got out of prison last week.
Its gonna be a high old time! Speaking of which, I hope that Barack brings some of that out-of-this world weed that he used to sell in the Columbia dorms back in the day. They still talk about it up to this day on 125th Street.
Life is good. And Anna Wintour is one hot chick. After six or seven beers, who knows what can happen.
It's in New York, I think

It's in New York, I think you're limited to 16 ounces of beer. So, your only hope is weed-goggling.

Two people in the world to pick, and she picks FLOTUS (okay, it's expected at a fundraiser for POTUS) and Ferris Bueller's wife?

Apparently SJP is bringing a bucket of oats.
MO is bringing wheatgrass cocktails.
And Anna is having some balut shipped in from the Phillipines.
Awesome. Good times.

enter this contest. It's always a thrill to swim on the dark side for a while, if not just for the laughable tales to tell.

Thanks for the laugh. But the way these clueless social climbers grovel to gain attention is kind of frightening. Good article. Please keep it up.
I'd love to win
Submitted by Model850 on Sun, 06/03/2012 - 6:12pm.
I'd like to win just so I could snub them and not go.
Anyone check out the rules and prizes of this contest?
Among the prizes:
Dinner for winner and a guest with President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Sarah Jessica Parker at the Destination, on a date and at a venue to be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion (approximate retail value $200.00); and
Tickets for winner and a guest to Sponsor's concert event at the Destination featuring a performance by Mariah Carey on a date and at a venue to be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion (approximate retail value $300.00).
Apparently tickets to see Mariah Carey are worth more than dinner with Duh Won, his beard and Ol' Horseface.
One of the more, shall we say, interesting rules:
Sponsor may, at its option, conduct a background check on each potential winner.
I guess that effectively eliminates any NB member from attending, with the exception of Jer, perhaps. ; - D

Yank that thing out of your butt and just TALK.
Damn I hate people like that.
You just know she was a "mean girl" in school, don't you? Or if she was picked on, her entire life SINCE then has been defined by "mean girls" ever since. Frickin' annoying emotional vampires I avoid like THE PLAGUE.
