I really hope that is not real for Kamala’s sake but I wouldn’t put it past Anna Wintour at all.

Not the biggest deal in the world but there’s a kerfuffle over VP Elect’s Vogue cover. It seems this is not the photo agreed to with her team. It also looks like a test shot and doesn’t do her justice. A thread. Did you see Imani Gandy’s tweets about it? Did laugh at this: Prime example of a white woman with her head in her ass while pretending to listen to black women. 😡😡😡

The one on the right is the one it was supposed to be I think. Yes, the one on the right is the one her team agreed to according to the Yashar Ali thread. And it’s a million times better. I think it’s still not perfect but so much better. Someone I follow on Twitter was deep diving about how awful US vogue covers are compared to international editions and I enjoyed the deep dive on a Saturday night. Here’s one thread but seriously her whole timeline is full of amazing takes on this.

In the grand scheme of things, a vogue cover is so low, but dude, she looks like she’s doing a test smile and it’s not even that fashionable of an outfit, outside of her token chucks. I’m frustrated for her because it seems like a lame way to undercut her. It's not about it being a cover though, it's the consistent and persistent disrespect

The Simone Biles photos still make me want to cry.

With the way Teen Vogue has been the real MVP of reporting since 2016, we need them to put her on the cover and fix this.

Fucking Meet the Press. Mulvaney was the first guest and I don’t have any words, but Toomey was completely off the map. He’s saying that what happened this week was a complete escalation of what T has been doing and no one could have expected it. He also called the left radicalized and that he didn’t regret his vote for T. Said no one should be kicked out of the Senate for supporting this.
It was awful.

I’ll be honest, I don’t pay attention to Vogue (or any magazine) but even I was a little taken aback when someone I follow on IG posted about it.

The BIPOC on my Twitter feed (I logged back on just for this issue) are also pointing out the watermelon reference (not sure if this is in any of those threads because I didn’t click in so I apologize if so). It’s not a good look at all.

It’s not a good look at all. Is this about the colors? Or am I missing something else obvious? I thought it was for AKA but could definitely be wrong.

Though the texture on the green part of the wall does look kind of like a watermelon rind. It's still an awful picture, and obviously some bullshit was afoot since it's not the approved cover.

I had to google the AKA to see what you were talking about. I know nothing about that but I’m just repeating what I have seen on the small intersection of Black Twitter that I pay attention to. The posters I read may not be aware of that connection so I can see why there are other connotations.

Kamala’s AKA membership is super well known as are their pink and green colors. This is known.

It's still an awful picture, and obviously some bullshit was afoot since it's not the approved cover. The lighting, the framing (she looks intentionally small), the facial expression, the casual nature. It’s all off. I’m sure there were beautiful, strong photos taken even with that background, but that wasn’t the cover shot.

Twitter rumor so take with a grain of salt is that Harris’ team was never even shown that photo. Of all the photos they approved for the cover and inside, that was not one of them. It really looks like a test photo. She looks like she’s mid conversation with someone.
