When Anna Met...Kim Kardashian

I'm not sure if this is a sign of the fashion apocalypse...but I do know that this is one of the strangest and most unnerving pictures I've ever seen of Anna Wintour.
She's actually having a meal with the same Kim Kardashian from the family she once said she 'loathed' and the same Kim she refused to invite to the Met Gala in 2012. Yet Kanye was welcomed at the Gala with open arms and fashion kisses.
So what changed? And is Anna actually SMILING?! I'm not sure I can handle this.




Kim Kardashian posted this doozy of a pic on her Instagram account as a Throw Back Thursday picture.
But I think it may have been more of a 'Look Who I Had Lunch With' pic. More of a Throw it in Your Face to all of her haters kind of pic. Either way, this luncheon led to this:




The now infamous Kimye cover that sparked an outcry in Hollywood with celebs saying they were going to cancel their subscriptions. Somehow I don't think that happened. And the mag did sell. As much as I hate to admit it. Anna pushed the limits and succeeded. As usual.
Chalk up another one for the Fashion Editrix.

UPDATE: The Kim and Kanye cover DID NOT SELL. Early reports that it was doing well were incorrect. It sold 20,000 less copies than last April's mag which had Michelle Obama on the cover. Quite an April Fool's joke for Anna.
