It’s pretty common knowledge that Anna Wintour holds Kim Kardashian in the same regard as having someone sneeze into your mouth on the subway, and that she’s been pretty adamant about making sure Kim never appears anywhere in Vogue. Well, Kanye West still hasn’t gotten the hint, because he’s currently campaigning hard to get her and their baby girl, North West, onto the cover of Vogue. I’m guessing the fact that Wintour cropped Kim out of all the pictures on the magazine’s website wasn’t enough of a giant, shining hint. RadarOnline reports …
“It’s no secret that Kanye is a huge fan of fashion, Vogue and especially Anna Wintour,” a source close to the musician told RadarOnline. “But it’s also pretty well-known that Anna is NO fan of Kim or any reality star appearing in the pages of the magazine. Kanye is determined to make sure baby North isn’t photographed by paparazzi then splashed across the world. He knows what he wants — a professional photographer and the cover of Vogue – nothing else. But clearly, trying to persuade Anna is going to be an uphill battle.”
It goes on to talk about how Kanye’s trying to make the point that Kim’s Cosmopolitan cover was the highest selling issue of the year, which seems like a valid point until you remember it’s Cosmo, a magazine read exclusively by people who think Sex and the City is a non-fiction show. Also weird: Kanye’s been pretty focused on keeping North out of the limelight, but all of a sudden he wants her on the cover of Vogue? No, that makes complete sense.
