Vogue Editor Seems Vaguely Insensitive

Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, who I’m pretty sure was a character in the Grand Budapest Hotel, but also a real life German royal and style editor for Vogue got into some shitstorm when she Instagrammed a picture of a homeless French person reading Vogue and tittered accordingly.

Paris is full of surprises .?.?. and @voguemagazine readers even in unexpected corners!

She received a bunch of nasty response about how maybe rich pretty people shouldn’t be taking pictures of broke down people and using them as cute props. At first, she defended herself, because really, why not. The bundled street urchin was most likely flipping through Vogue looking for Kate Moss’ face to wipe their ass with that morning. Still, you work for Vogue and you see a homeless person reading Vogue, you get tempted.

OMG calm down. Even the homeless are allowed to have good taste!

Dig that hole. Dig it deep, German countess with the impossibly long incestuously conceived neck. In fear of the Schilling Special Forces Social Media Squad, von Thurn und Taxis removed her posts and replaced them with a picture of the Seine and one incredibly sincere apology. Then she donned a yarmulke and walked through the Muslim no-go suburbs of Paris as penance. She’s not coming back. As always, the lesson learned here is that reading Vogue will make you dumb enough to live on the streets and social media is cesspool of hypocrisy and self-righteous cowards. That’s two lessons. One for Von Thurn und one for Taxis!
