She's smart, resourceful, impeccably fashionable, and financially very content. She's frequently seen in her stunna shades, that irresistible bob, and that charming accent -- and she is quite possibly the most powerful woman in the world of fashion. Oh, don't act like you don't know who I'm talking about! The wonderful Miss Anna Wintour. She's a topic vastly talked about, but does she get old? (And I mean this both physically and and figuratively. She's almost 60 years old yet she looks like she's in her 40s! Plastic surgery or not, she'd still have that youthful air about her.)
I personally don't think she gets old. Ever. I have an immense amount of respect for this woman. Like those Married to the Mob shirts say, she really is the Head Bitch in Charge. Miss Wintour can make people aware of some unknown designer's work or annihilate the thought of even wanting to browse their collection online. Where would Marc Jacobs and John Galliano be without the help of this Brit? Really?
Anna has power in loads of other aspects that would take me forever to get into as thoroughly as I'd like to. But I still have this unanswered question that's been lingering in my head for some time now. In a world where women are (sadly) still fighting to be equal with men and be as powerful and influential as them, I'm surprised and even a little appalled to hear rumors that she has tried to keep her practices and the treatment of her employees hush-hush. Why in God's name would you want to do that? To me, I think that is simultaneously keeping her power hush-hush as well. I see and marvel at the power and control she has, yet many people might not be able to see it. If you're the H.B.I.C. and you've got that way over people, why not flaunt it? What's so embarrassing about being one of the most successful people in the world of fashion, publishing, etc.? If I held any sort of position as high as Anna Wintour's, I would make damn sure I had people in check.
Anna seems to have many titles -- "condescending evil elitist bitch" seems to be the summary of it all, but what most people don't seem to understand is that she is the editor-in-chief of VOGUE! Vogue! People seem to expect her to have some Southern-housewife-mentality! If you were under all that stress to produce an extremely popular and successful publication, you've got to step on some -- no a LOT -- of people's toes to get shit done. And seriously, when you think about it, when you're in that kind of position, you can be a bitch if you want to and get away with it.
Anna Wintour is one of the B.B.H. -- the Baddest Bitches in History. Period.
