Thread: Cover Girl Michelle Obama Doesn't Always Deliver

Michelle Obama Covers Don't Always Deliver for Magazines - Advertising Age - MediaWorks

"NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Vogue's March cover story on Michelle Obama called her "The First Lady the World's Been Waiting For." No doubt she's been embraced by the media world, appearing on cover after cover, from Us Weekly to Newsweek. But when it comes to sales, Ms. Obama may not yet be general-interest magazines' new Princess Diana, who regularly helped the industry sell more copies at newsstands. "


"The First Lady the World's Been Waiting For."

HUH? What has she ever done that anyone has ever been waiting for?

don't subscribe to it

heres the vogue story:

Andre Leon Talley Welcomes First Lady Michelle Obama

i mean this is vogue, not the wall street journal or u.s. news and world reports, so i would think they're going to be talking about michelle obama as it applies to what vogue is about.

stinger, no disrespect, but why wouldn't you at least READ the vogue article?

it just seems so stubborn to ask "why" about the title of an article, and not READ the article.

I'm more interested in what people here think she has done to recieve such an accolade and the fact it appears magazine readers haven't been waiting either.
