Cancel your subscription to me if you want, but I think putting Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the April cover of Vogue is the most interesting move the magazine has made in a long time.<\/p>\n

This is a much more newsworthy choice than, say, an actress who is shilling her next movie. (Did anyone get this excited about Jessica Chastain’s December cover<\/a>?) Love them or loathe them, the Kardashian family is an undeniable pop culture phenomenon. Kanye is a jackass<\/a>, but an interesting<\/a> jackass and always an entertaining interview<\/a>. He loves fashion<\/a> even when fashion doesn’t love him<\/a>, and I’ve been fascinated by how he dresses up Kim as if she were some kind of doll\/art project; there’s something very Warholian about it. <\/p>\n

If we can’t go back to models on American fashion magazine covers<\/a>, as I would prefer, I’m in favor of Anna Wintour continuing to troll <\/a>everyone this year. First Lena Dunham<\/a>, now Kimye! So go ahead and FLOUNCE<\/a>! Keep threatening to cancel your subscriptions (I wonder how many threats come from people without subscriptions) like Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anna is probably laughing her wig-hat<\/a> off at the outrage. Or maybe rubbing her hands together, saying, “Good … good,” in an ominous way like that big bug on Family Guy<\/em>.<\/p>\n
