What’s your favorite piece in Kamala Harris’s Vogue-cover wardrobe: the rolled pants? the Converse All-Stars? the Sandra Dee flip hairdo?

What’s not to love about Dem Veep-elect Kamala Harris’s very first puff-piece photo shoot–on the February 2021 cover of Vogue? So I’m asking you, dear readers, what’s your favoritest piece in her wardrobe, which as Vogue says, she picked out on her very own:

Shot by Tyler Mitchell, the [photo] reflects Harris at her casual best: Converse sneakers and Donald Deal blazer—styling choices that were her own—and a bright smile.

I myself can’t decide between the Converse Chuck Taylors and the rolled-up, wrinkles-at-the knee pants that do wonders for Kamala’s hips. But there’s also:

— That too-tight, won’t-button Donald Deal hipster jacket! After all, something like 95 percent of skinny Brooklyn hipsters voted for her–so she owes them.

–The pearl necklace that has somehow slipped under her blouse–usually when that happens to a gal, it’s a mistake, but with Kamala, it’s stylin’!

–The blouse itself–what’s with those stretchy lines right across Kamala’s bustline?

— The Sandra Dee flip hairdo: Total 1962!

— And get a load of that backdrop! No, that mass of rumpled pink satin Kamala is standing on isn’t a king bedsheet from one of the three homes around the country that she and hub Doug Emhoff own. According to Vogue, it’s photographer Mitchell’s homage to Kamala’s college sorority colors, one of which is salmon pink. The other is apple green, which apparently accounts for the splotchy, algae-colored curtains that seem to be pinned up behind the pink satin.

Apparently our vice president-to-be and her many fans are none too happy about that Vogue cover:

An apparently leaked copy of the publication’s February issue cover, shot in front of a pink and green background, began circulating online Sunday. The photo instantly attracted ire on social media for appearing poorly lit and styled, while others suggested it was “disrespectful” to the Vice President-elect….

[C]ritics said the pictures made her skin appear “washed out” and were out-of-keeping with Vogue’s glamorous aesthetic. Playwright and lawyer Wajahat Ali described it as a “mess up,” adding that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour “must really not have Black friends and colleagues.”

According to the Associated Press, Harris had expected the Vogue cover to feature a more inspirational photo of her attired in a powder blue power pantsuit sort of like one of Hillary’s:-

[H]er] team says there’s a problem: the shot of the country’s soon-to-be No 2 leader isn’t what both sides had agreed upon, her team says….

Harris’ team was unaware that the cover photo had been switched until images leaked late Saturday, according to a person involved in the negotiations over how Harris would be featured on the cover. Harris’ office declined to comment and the person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.

Imagine such a thing! Imagine our proudly independent mainstream media actually functioning as the sycophantic public-relations arm of the Democratic Party! Believe me, I’m shocked.
