Sometimes a person means well, like when Jesus died on the cross for, like, sins and stuff, or when Anna Wintour must have taken her holiday early to allow possible former employees of National Enquirer to take a stab at the April 2007 cover of Vogue because God only knows what the hell went through the minds of the magazine otherwise. Seriously, have you seen what was done to Scarlett Johansson via airbrush? I almost put down my grocery purchases and ran from the store with tears in my eyes. Almost. I had pears to poach in spiced wine, and I certainly couldn’t do that without fresh ginger. But if someone would be so kind as to tap Ms. Wintour on the shoulder and ask just what was she thinking when she blessed the cover of the April 2007 issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
In the meantime, feel free to brush up on your seven deadly sins of interviewing. God knows many a staff member at Vogue will soon be reading these very same rules of successful interviewing on their way out the door.
