Our initial reaction to the news that Gisele “The Legs” Bündchen would share a Vogue cover with NBA powerhouse LeBron James: “Hold up! A black, male, athlete, and a model? Way to go Anna!”
But then we saw the cover, and we’re a little miffed.
It shows personality, sure, but the whole “Me, Tarzan. You, Jane,” vibe doesn’t sit well with the french fries we had for lunch.
We would have loved a tipoff with LeBron vs. Gisele. Or even a statuesque depiction of their exquisite physiques a la The David meets Aphrodite. After all, it is the Shape Issue.
And when you compare it to the stately presentation of George Clooney and Richard Gere on previous covers, well, where’s the fashion?
It is semi-refreshing. Or different, at the least.
