If having the decorate the White House for Christmas wasn’t torture enough, now Melania Trump has missed out on her chance to grace the cover of British fashion magazine Tatler. And it’s all her chief of staff Stephanie Grisham’s fault!
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine writes:
Having eschewed countless offers for positive interviews from American outlets such as Women’s Wear Daily and The Post, Grisham allowed the British magazine Tatler to have the only exclusive interview of the campaign for its November issue. And yet she did not negotiate the cover of the magazine. Instead, Meghan Markle took the honor.
Hmmm. We can’t imagine why a British media outlet would choose to feature a member of the Royal Family on its cover instead of Melania freaking Trump. Something’s definitely up!
According to sources, Melania, once an aspiring model, wasn’t happy about this and felt she was snubbed. Now, several members of her inner circle are purportedly urging her to fire Grisham, who they say is deliberately trying to sabotage her life.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Writes Devine:
All the people who spoke to me for this column say they are motivated by a desire to save the first lady from keeping Grisham for her post-White House life or to help Melania write her memoirs.
This isn’t the first time Melania’s missed out on a glossy magazine cover either.
In October, tapes leaked by her former BFF Stephanie Winston Wolkoff heard the outgoing first lady bitching about how Beyoncé landed Vogue‘s coveted September cover in 2018 instead of her.
“Anna [Wintour] gave the September issue of Vogue cover–complete, complete, complete, everything–to Beyoncé,” she griped. “She hired Black photographer. And it’s the first Black photographer ever doing cover of Vogue.”
“I don’t give a f*ck about Vogue!”
A White House insider tells the Daily Mail that the latest report about Melania being pissed about the Tatler cover is a “hit piece” that came “out of nowhere” but is “not uncommon with some of the folks around the president.”
Melania’s predecessor, Michelle Obama, graced 12 magazine covers during her tenure as FLOTUS, including Vogue three times, Glamour, Time, InStyle, and Essence. In contrast, Melania’s highest profile gig was the cover of the Mexican edition of Vanity Fair, for which editors merely recycled an old photo of her taken for a GQ profile.

Magazines pick their cover model based on projected sales. No one would buy a magazine with Melania’s sour-puss face. Does she EVER smile???
LumpyPillows
She can’t smile and keep her eyes open at the same time.

If that was a truth, Kardashian would never land vogue cover photo

I’m sure someone has out her picture on toilet paper.

Poor poor pitiful Squinty First Skank Melanoma …

LOL! Everyone knows that “aspiring model” translates to WHORE. It has never been more apt in this instance. Illegal. Immigrant. Whore.
Essie
Especially when, in her case, she was still “aspiring” at 30 when she met Dump. Supermodel she wasn’t. Getting a rich man was her only hope to keep from becoming a salesgirl at Nordstrom.

When this fiasco of a Presidency is over and she divorces TRump, she’ll be featured on the Yacht circuit.

They keep trying to lie and claim Melania was a successful model.
If that’s true why can’t she produce any of her old model shoot? ANY model can bring up multiple former shoots, catalogues, photos, ads etc. The ONLY thing anybody has found from Melania’s past is a naked shot she did for a skin mag.
Just like Melania lied about graduating college, speaking 5 languages, plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech, etc. She was never a “Model”.

This is hilarious. The fact that her husband is a hateful, racist criminal reviled by most of the world, combined with the fact that Melania is a do-nothing, low-rent call-girl, probably doesn’t make her a very appealing cover model.

Just like her meal ticket, loser husband, it’s always someone else’s fault. Hey Melanoma, look in a mirror sometime. No photographer could make that botox dead face come back to life. No lighting or filters could keep the ugliness of your soul from showing through your eyes.
ShiningSex
She’s trash and can’t wait for the crooks to be out of the white house.
If they’re not crooks then why are the Trumps (and Guiliani) making requests and pondering being pardoned???? CROOKS!!!!
Roy Moss
Why would any non-porno publication want a photo of an over-the-hill hooker on its cover?

LMFAO!!

I don’t really care; do you?
BobinSF
Precisely!
Doug
More and more this woman sounds like she’s as attention-seeking as her husband.
Ginger Tom
Her squinty, sour look would curdle milk. Does this woman imagine that anyone, anywhere, of either sex thinks she is an attractive person? She has nothing inside, she is empty. She seems to think she is entitled to something: she is entitled to nothing. Waste of space.

Mel…who?
HankHarris
She did soft core nudes and very fake ‘luxe’ publications – never anything of importance. I wonder how much they had to pay to get her on the cover of Vogue when she married trump? They made a bigger deal about her wedding dress, so I assume it was backdoor through the designer….She was never a ‘super model’ in any definition of the word…
dsp
I thought, by that picture that was Caitlin Jenner! Go figure
nastypig
Haaa! Ha! Yeah she’s a mess.
Evji108
Her nude feature in the French soft core Max Magazine will always be the apex of her magazine career. She wasn’t smiling then either.
Hdtex
I hear she’s up for the February cover of “StripperPole” and “Modern Escort”.
Brian
She was never a “genius” level model. She can’t pose, she doesn’t know where to put her hands, and almost every aspect of her face is fake and contrived. She’s an illegal immigrant. She deserves far worse than a “snub.”

Melania needs to just claw her way back to Mar-a-Lago and GTFOH! She clearly is the worst FLOTUS in history. She has done NOTHING for America.

No one wants Malaria on a magazine cover, I don’t think antibiotics cure that disease
8millionandcounting
Hopefully. ERROR: PAGE NOT FOUND will be this skid mark of a family page in American History.
Gross, absurdly tacky & icky and completely fu&ked up The whole lot of them.
bachy
Get these lunatics and crooks out of our White House NOW!
Jack Meoff
If she wasn’t such a heinous b!tch she might get more coverage
HMFan
Ugh, EVERYTHING Trump touches turns bad. That being said, I would NOT care to be Melania’s gynecologist…
Pii
the cover of FIELD AND STREAM might be available as I suspect she’ll soon be HUNTING for another rich husband or FISHING for some sucker to pay for her escalating need for cosmetic surgery
