Anna Wintour: Ambassador to China?

Monday, Nov 22, 2010 / 1:30 PM

We chose this picture for no particular reason, other than it being awesome.

Sources inside 4 Times Square tell us that Anna Wintour was recently shipped off to China by Si Newhouse. The reason for her journey? She’s serving as some sort of ambassador.

Who Wintour was meeting with is unclear, but we’re assuming it was a mix of Conde Nast execs and advertisers based there. After all, China is ripe for magazines. Unlike mature economies–such as Europe and the US–the printed word still has plenty of money-making potential in most Asian countries.

The Chinese government should send her back; she is racist.

I cannot wait for the day Carine will take over.

That’s my second favorite picture of 80′s Wintour! In the clear best one, she’s wearing some enormous graphic tee and an even more oversized chunky pearl necklace. She looks like Lourdes Ciccone, basically.

she met the editor-in-chief of vouge china and gave a lecture at Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University in beijing.

The way you said “shipped off” made me think of a large packing case with bars, like you would ship a giant panda in. Hope it was air conditioned.
