I don’t know much about Vogue editor Anna Wintour. I do know she was the “alleged” subject of The Devil Wears Prada, I know that she “allegedly” hates Kim Kardashian, I know that she told Oprah to lose weight to earn that Vogue cover (she admitted it!) and I remember the disdain she showed on 60 Minutes when described a trip she once made to Minnesota. Wintour said “I’d just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.”
If Anna Wintour is such a judgy piece of work that she even told the Mighty O to lose weight, can you image what she must be like as a mom? I’d always assumed she didn’t have any kids, but she does. Wintour, 64, has two grown children from her marriage to child psychiatrist David Shaffer, which ended in 1999. She has a 28 year-old son named Charles and a 26 year-old daughter named Bee Shaffer. Judging from Bee’s Instagram, I think Charles lives in Minnesota, which explains his mom’s outrage at being subjected to seeing fat people there. Bee lives in NY and works in television as a segment producer for Seth Myers.
Anyway Bee recently Instagrammed the following photo of some bags and presents sitting around lonely with the caption “My mom threw out our tree before Christmas Day because ‘it was too messy’” Can you imagine? I guess the maid couldn’t sweep up the falling needles fast enough, or someone failed to place the ornaments in perfect geometric formation.
But! Wintour wasn’t entirely grinch-like this Christmas. She gave her daughter a Downton Abbey mug and some nice pjs. Bee wrote “Pjs and downton… AW knows me well!”
Bee seems pretty normal, judging by her Instagram. I guess Anna Wintour must not be all bad, but I’m suddenly very grateful for my own mom.
