Angelina Jolie Covers Harper’s Bazaar July 2009

Hollywood goddess Angelina Jolie is the July 2009 cover girl for Harper’s Bazaar’s. Here are some snippets from the lead story “Why Women Want Angelina Jolie’s Life” via essayist Naomi Wolf:

—- Polls also show that if women — not just lesbian and bisexual women but straight women — had to choose a female lover, they would want to sleep with Angelina Jolie. In other words, women both identify with her and desire her.

—- Her persona hits an unprecedented level of global resonance — and makes women want to be with her and be her at the same time — because she has created a life narrative that is not just personal. Rather, it is archetypal. And the archetype is one that really, for the first time in modern culture, brings together almost every aspect of female empowerment and liberation.

—- The magic of Jolie’s self-presentation? She makes the claim, with her life and actions, that, indeed, you can get away with it. All of it. Against every Western convention, she has managed to draw together all of these kinds of female liberation and empowerment. And her gestures determinedly transgress social boundaries — boundaries of convention, race, class, and gender — giving many of us a vicarious thrill.

FYI: The cover photo is a December 2008 red carpet pic of Angie in Versace at the Los Angeles premiere of Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Bigger cover pic inside…

Angelina is an icon. She deserves every word of adoration that is offered. She has achieved so much in her life single handedly. Virginia Woolf would adore her. Angelina has earned a Room of her Own and so much more besides.

This is why she is so hated by , and the loathsome Aniston is so admired. Angelina has never thrown herself a pity party when people have shat on her.

One more word of advice: you may wish to consult Angelina’s Economist articles before you submit your letter. You could learn a lot from her biting writing style.

She is a mother, an academic, an humanitarian and a sexy *****.

What more is there to stay?

Love the forever gorgeous Angelina Jolie!

God bless her and Brad Pitt and their love union always!

I can only say my admiration to Angie, she is a woman of ageless beauty. Brad is lucky to have found her & have created a familty with her, she is just perfect. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

She is GORGEOUS.
Look this cover! wowwwwww!

Peak experiences

“Feelings of limitless horizons opening up to the vision, the feeling of being simultaneously more powerful and also more helpless than one ever was before, the feeling of ecstacy and wonder and awe, the loss of placement in time and space with, finally, the conviction that something extremely important and valuable had happened, so that the subject was to some extent transformed and strengthened even in his daily life by such experiences.” Abraham Maslow

Maslow asked his subjects to think of the most wonderful experience or experiences of their lives–the happiest moments, extatic moments, moments of rapture, perhaps from being in live, or from listening to music or suddenly “being hit” by a book or a painting or from some great creative moment. He found that people undergoing peak experiences felt more integrated, more at one with the world, more in command of their own lives, more spontaneous, less aware of space and time, more perceptive, more self determined, more playful.

Bella!!! Gorgeous as usual

Good morning to all. Just checking. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

======================================================

Look…You were obviously busy with the legal parsing and completely missed my point. Did you see my qualifier when I first posted about this and each and every time since? I said, “ALLEGEDLY”! I was very careful about that. Here you go again, presuming and assuming what I know or don’t know about this situation. I’m not even trying to convince anyone one way or another but it’s not like the woman was saying in a little paragraph: “He shoved me, or he pulled my hair or he came at me and I feared for my life”. It’s very detailed and if you’re familiar w/ The Smoking Gun, the documents are taken from the court file. Still, that doesn’t prove anything and even if this were adjudicated it doesn’t mean that the woman would have prevailed. Remember the OJ case (the first one)? A jury of his peers found him “not guilty”, but was he innocent? Hmmm…Lastly, isn’t it curious that the same website is cited here at JJ’s as an irrefutable source when it comes to the “Friends” lawsuit that had an unflattering portrayal of Jennifer Aniston but now when it might remotely put Jolie at odds with her image, some people “pretzel” themselves to discredit it. I am done w/this. Thanks.

Angelina is one lucky woman. Despite being attacked left and right by her detractors especially fug’s fans still Angelina is on top. Her beauty, brains, ability to do multiple things is what makes Angie successful. God really blesses her because she is generous. Brad is indeed lucky to have found her ‘coz she is exemplary. Angelina more power to you and your family.
we your fans love you so keep doing the good work.

Wow,

What a warm and lovely lady.

the real deal # 67

People change when they own up to their mistakes, learn from them and evolve, which in my opinion Angelina Jolie has done.
You don’t know anything about this woman, other than what she has stated, and if you are dumb and evil enough to believe tabloids then that says alot more about YOUR SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL HEALTH than hers. And exactly what has she done in the last 7 or 8 years that you base your statements on? She adopted a child, met a man fell in love and started a family with him. She has made several critically acclaimed movies and been involved in humitarian activities. WoW get a straight jacket on the woman.

You are the lamest species of the Rachelites, the passive-aggressive hater. You hide behind your fake concern all the while still trying to slam this woman with tabloid lies and crap you basically pulled out your a$$.
If anyone needs spiritual intervention it is you and your kind. You don’t have to like this woman, but it is just plain evil to spread lies about someone, especially someone you don’t know and who has not done any wrong to you.

Great post.

hello fans, a little late, but, i just could not let this thread past without saying something positive about this inspirational woman, great job Angie keep up the good work, you are beautiful.

Angie,gorgeous and beautiful as ever.What can i say,I’m an Angelina Jolie admirer.More power to her!!!

WTH, my July issue subscription has a model on the cover, not Angie?

I think X is really bitter over her divorce from Brad and is so envious of Angie. Her speech was in fact aimed at Brad and Angelina.

She said that it started with The Good Girl, (referring to her as the Good Girl), then of course Rumor Has it ( referring to rumor about Brad and Angelina), followed by Derailed and then the Break-uP, referring obviously to her marriage having been derailed by Angie which resulted to its break up.

So it also goes without saying that she was subtley referring to as the Adult unstable male was Brad and in fact not Mayer.

It is so clear that after all these years, X is still so hang up with Brad and Angelina, and just cant move on.

She looks nice. I still don’t like her though.

Nice nose job, chin implant and eye lid lift. She SHOULD be pretty with all that work.

Marisa, your idea sucks!
Angelina’s got everything a woman would desire to have consciously or subconciously!
hehe i’m a total Fan of Angelina and Brangelina as well.
She’s no weirdo, she’s just being herself. That great you know, being yourself and just don’t care whatever others might say.
Angelina Jolie is Great!!!

@marisa: your idea totally sucks! you just envied her!
