Spring is here. Daffodils are pushing through the ground and Vanity Fair's third annual "Green Issue" is just hitting news stands.
I enjoyed the past "Green Issues" which on focused environmental issues and included bits about green celebrities. But after seeing the cover and reading the cover story of this years issue, I am unimpressed.
At first glance I noticed the lack of the actual color green on the cover.
-The 2006 issue featured Al Gore, Julia Roberts, Robert F. Kennedy, and George Clooney in green attire nestled amongst mossy rocks and vines.
-The 2005 featured a quite possibly photoshopped Leo DiCaprio standing on an iceberg. Green appeared in fonts on the cover.
-This issue features a small green leaf hanging off the title.
I guess the silver statue of the earth which Madonna poses against is somewhat an image of the environment. But, the statue has more to with Madonna "taking over the world" than her eco-friendliness.
The cover story titled "Madonnarama" soley focuses on Madonna's career. I anticipated learning what makes the "material girl" green. It never happened.
I was left wondering how this story not only made it into the "Green Issue," but also how it became the cover story.
