I can only say, since Melania was being snubbed by all magazines after Trump's first term, I have saved an enormous amount of $ on magazines. Haven't bought one since then
Magazines are almost like books on stone these days. I only get an art mag and I never signed up for AARP. My daughter’s FIL owned a mag distribution firm in NYC. It’s basically dead now.
I note that at the hair salon. It used to be a mag fest every time. Now everyone sits there looking at their phone, and there's not one magazine to be seen.
I was going to choose the first “yes” answer but then got to the bottom choice and thought “hmmmm, so far Trumps do everything better - what I wouldn’t give to see them make a conservative competitor to Vanity Fair and showcase people that are beautiful both inside and out.” For the time being she should just keep laughing at them. What morons they are to truly believe they’re taking a historical stance against a tyrant. If they were that easily brainwashed, they shouldn’t be allowed to editorialize a coloring book, much less a fashion magazine.
Question is "Who even reads that rag anymore?" Why give them anymore free publicity? First Lady Melania Trump is too classy for that crowd. They should find a tranny and put it on the cover.
Any more, magazine covers, like the Pulitzer, Nobel, and even the R & R Hall of Fame, have been devalued to the point of being very close to meaningless, and in some cases, less than meaningless. It seems Melania is well aware of that.
I hate to say it, but I agree with "they, them." If Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, and Kamala Harris were on that cover, Melania should not be--EVER!
I will say no. It will become a best selling edition because conservatives will buy one for posterity and all we will be doing is helping to fund an otherwise trashy woke publication.
OR - what if conservatives arrange a boycott of that issue for this very reason, so then NO ONE buys it. I think that might be even better. Like they decide to "stoop down" and then everyone's like "Don't try to throw us a bone! Keep it!"
But like I keep saying, Jenna, we need to stop talking to/about these people. When you out yourself as a non-thinking, partisan ignoramus, we see you, we hear you, and we'll not include you in our conversation any further.
To your point, I was having a conversation with a friend while at a coffee shop which is part of a rather large chain and was deriding one of the staff who had green hair and was wearing a mask (about the mask, not so much the hair but they seem to go together). My friend said not to worry about it because it tells you all you need to know about the person. That struck me as insightful and I have taken it to heart.
Hate is their default now. Trump is their all purpose metaphor for their own miserable lives. Blaming him for everything that sucks that they in fact are responsible for. I have a sister who writhes in outrage. I leave her alone. Considering her past uninterest in politics, I’m seeing her politics is now distilled to white hot Trump Hate.
Actually, she really IS too classy to be a cover girl, but it would be SUCH delicious fun to watch these privileged screechers be held to their own threats to quit. Like they couldn’t possibly be replaced? LOLing.
Happy Friday All! If it wasn't for Jenna, I would have no idea that this was going on lol. Thanks for filling us in on what all the bird brains are doing behind the scenes! Imagine how much good could actually be done with all the time and energy wasted for something this nonsensical.
Vainly Unfair and Vague are still in publication? Who knew?
I wish that one senior editor, when confronted with this situation, would calmly look across the table and say, "I'm sorry you feel that way. Shall I have security drop a box off at your desk"? And, while their brains are spinning around like a gerbil on coke in an exercise wheel, contemplating sudden unemployment, lean over, pick up the phone, and say, "Well?". If one senior editor had the guts to do that, the word would get around and these self-important jackasses would finally get the message that they work for the publication, not the other way around.
One comment. No, two. That's it. I pinky-promise, which seems to be more solemner in Jenna-world.
First, the better question for an extra-well-coifed cashier at Trader Joe's is, "May I ask what you did in your former life?"
Secondly, editors being editors, their real problem with Melania Americania on the cover is "How are we supposed to top that? We'll set a record for single-issue sales, and then it's toilet-bowl."

At the salon I go to there are magazines but almost all the stylists are older.

They already have put a tranny on the cover. three times, his name is Big Mike Obama. A.K.A. Michelle

TAW! TRUMP ALWAYS WINS!!!! Hahahaha!!!!
This time it's the stunningly beautiful, classy, and beyond...FLOTUS!!!
Who reads that rag anymore? Dumbass, moronic, braindead, Gumbies, who have lost their cuckoo for coco puff minds.
Yes, please find a gun-wielding tranny to put on the cover of VF!!! Please!!!
Maybe they already have? Who knows these days🤷🏻♀️
Perhaps we could put her picture on a billboard across the street from their headquarters. The meltdown would be phenomenal.
I'd chip in to that GoFundMe all day long!!! ;)
Me too, and I'm Canadian!!
Although, my $2000.00 resorts to about a buck five eighty in America, it may possibly buy the "M" on the billboard, and I'm good with that.
Now THAT would be PURE GOLD!!!!!! I hope someone with $$$$$$$$ to burn would do that! The entertainment would be phenomenal!
😂… waving.

Valid point indeed!

Crazy the insane hate these people carry.
But like I keep saying, Jenna, we need to stop talking to/about these people. When you out yourself as a non-thinking, partisan ignoramus, we see you, we hear you, and we'll not include you in our conversation any further.
When people tell you who they are - Listen.
But... but... they give me SO MUCH FODDER!!! ;)
They can be irritatingly entertaining.
And it’s fun fodder too! Bring it on!

100%! the people who are wearing masks in 2025 are clearly hopeless cases, regardless of hair color. :(

DON'T YOU MEAN LingOL??? ;)
Thanks for catching that typo, I mean autocorrect. LingOL!
🤣🤣
Like all the Hollyweird people that threatened to move to Canada and other far away places if Trump became Prez? 🤪
I’m still waiting for them to move to Canada 😉

Anything that gets lefty’s panties in a bunch, literally in this case, is ok by me!
Hahahahaha (and same)! ;)
Have to admit, the meltdown would be rather satisfying. Truly, Melania has better things to occupy her time.
Definitely not a wine person, but I could see the benefit of pairing the right wine with despair.

Thanks for the heads up, David. 😀
I know you Janet. You're trying to goad me into breaking my pinky-promise, but I'm way ahead of you.
This is not a comment: it's an observation.
All of the above! And I can’t tell you when I last read a magazine 😂😂. Another funny edition from Jenna!
Please don’t let them into my Trader Joe’s!
I guess I am not in the cool kids neighborhood, we don't have a Trader Joe's. We have Aldi.
I love Aldi! 👌
🤣
Too late
The idea that Vanity Fair wouldn't want Melania on their cover is perhaps the most absurd thing I've heard this month! 🤦♂️
No doubt Melania has better things to do with her time, but if it causes the woke left to have a meltdown then I'm all for it.
Wasn't Vogue the magazine that featured Zelenskyy and his wife on the cover not so many years back? Melania's right to not want to be associated.
They sure did and you are correct!
