Does Vogue editor Anna Wintour think the election already happened? Or does she know something we don't? Because in an upcoming issue, she's chronicled generations of women in the Vice President's family. But—correct us if we're wrong—we don't have a Vice President yet.
Not that we dislike the way she thinks....
Ladies and gentlemen, the Biden ladies.
It is a Sunday morning in early September, and Jill Biden is standing with wet hair and no makeup in the middle of her kitchen, eating yogurt out of a plastic container. Her toenails are painted red, and she has the perfect late-summer tan. She's wearing dark-blue, skinny, non-mom jeans and an untucked blue button-down. Around her neck is a tangle of delicate gold jewelry and tiny pearls; from one chain hangs a little horseshoe made of diamonds. She smiles and laughs a lot, and when she does her deep-blue eyes flash with excitement. It takes only a few minutes of being in her company to understand why vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden somewhat controversially introduced his wife at the Democratic National Convention in August as "drop-dead gorgeous." Dr. Jill Biden—mother of three, political wife, college professor—exudes the confidence of a woman who has come into her own and is enjoying her moment. At 57, she looks much younger, partly owing to her daily five-mile runs. Her entire family seems to place great value on fitness. In fact, right behind her, hanging on the fridge with a magnet, is the cover of Time magazine featuring middle-aged aquatic wonder woman Dara Torres. Someone has written across her six-pack in black Magic Marker: OUR HERO.
