Anna Wintour to Advise Obama on the Arts
November 04, 2009
Fresh off of celebrating her 60th birthday, Anna Wintour has been handpicked by Barack Obama to join the national Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Already members of the illustrious 24-person committee: Sarah Jessica Parker, Forest Whitaker, Edward Norton, Yo-Yo Ma, and Teresa Heinz Kerry. According to Women's Wear Daily, Wintour "has gotten close to the Obama camp through cohosting a fund-raiser to honor Michelle Obama during her husband’s presidential campaign and featuring the First Lady on the cover of Vogue." Smooth move, Anna.
Meanwhile, it turns out Wintour’s daughter and recent college grad Bee Schaffer is celebrating a new gig as well. Last week Guest of a Guest broke the news that Schaffer has taken an assistant job with Ricky Van Veen, the co-founder of College Humor.
