Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour set herself a tough assignment when she went after Hillary Clinton to appear in a photo shoot for the magazine, which the former first lady declined for fears that she would appear "too feminine". Wintour cattily opined in her February editor's letter: "The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying." Monkey hears that British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman is also having a frankly dismaying time, after she set her sights on an even more elusive target, none other than Sun editor Rebekah Wade. Vogue has begged the red-top editor to do an interview and photo shoot, promising her any photographer in the world, presumably even Annie herself. Nice idea Alex, but take it from Monkey - it ain't ever going to happen.
