On putting Kim kardashian and Kanye West on the cover of Vogue.
"'Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.
I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)
'As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover.
He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.
'There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that."

I bought every copy of Vogue from 1980 until 1995 and then two or three a year and now the occasional copy, maybe one a year. I always buy one for my friend at Christmas. I loved it, absolutely loved it back in the 1980s/90s.
Hilarious that it has now come to Kim kardashian being on the cover, quite possibly the worst dressed woman ever, who came to fame through a sex tape and her father's name.
Now I know I will never buy it again as it's sunk so low!
The cover photo taken by Annie Leibovitz is awful, Kim's hands look huge and mannish.

Honestly Dexter if you kept up with current events you'd know she had a scan on her show and proved it was real [rolls eyes] 
I have never watched the Kardashian show as I am not that shallow Mrs CB only the Real Housewives for me
I do read books and stuff though as well and listen to r4 honestly.

Fair play to them I say! I think Kanye is a real hottie and KK seems like the sort of girl who'd make a decent mate 
She doesn't listen to the haterzzzzzz anyways
