Yah sure! Give me one second
The Simpsons Movie is coming out soon so I imagine this spread was to coincide with that I love it.Why did they feature Simpsons? It's random.
The only thing that could make the Simpson edit better would be if it was turned into an actual simspsons episode, I could already imagine the things they would have Karl say!
Magazine editors often change the photo portrait that appears in their editor's letters as often as they change their shirts. But how many have appeared as a Simpsons character? Glenda Bailey now has such bragging rights, appearing as a Simpsonized cartoon in her editor's letter along with Marge Simpson in the front row of a fashion show. The August issue of Harper's Bazaar features an eight-page feature by Simpsons illustrator Julius Preite where the fictional family goes to Paris with Linda Evangelista (also caricatured). The Simpsons appear with cartoon versions of Donatella Versace, Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs. Most editors scrutinize their photos to make sure they capture the fewest wrinkles or whitest smiles, so wasn't Bailey, who wears a white Lanvin top in the photo, concerned that Preite's animated treatment — especially that jaundiced tone particular to the residents of Springfield — would be unflattering? "There's no bad side to being Simpsonized," Bailey commented. Meanwhile, Marge Simpson would have blocked many a market editor's view with her trademark sky-high blue hair. Surely a front-row gatekeeper would have relegated her to the back, right? "I sat next to Mike Tyson once, but I guess it wasn't his hair that was big," Bailey quipped. We assume she was talking about his muscles. —
