OlderAngelina 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…

I do have a soft spot for Angie but like you I am waiting for something out of her past to intervene in her present or future. People only change if they have a real spiritual intervention and I haven’t seen or heard of that yet. So basically this is the Angie from her past trying hard to be the opposite - at some point it will crash around her and then hopefully she will get well. I don’t think her brother is in the same place as he was so I don’t see that sick relationship following the same course - if anything he may lead her into a more enlightened person and help pick up the pieces. I also think her father is very much there getting ready to catch her. Brad Pitt took advantage of her and still is.
WOW
BEAUTIFUL PIC
BEAUTIFUL COVER!
GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTs!!!

If only I had $100Million and endless baby sitters, chefs, maids to bring it altogether…
i see some b i t c h e s spreading their hate.
i would too if my movie bombed and i have no paid boyfriend for the moment.
“Why women want Angelina Jolie’s life”… how contrived is that title. I sure has hell dont. I’ll have her money, but that’s about it. I like Jolie but all this worshipping makes me sick.

What’s Angelina Jolie’s Allure?
Every woman wants to copy her.
Not a fan. she’s a *****.
oh yeah and so true - if you hate her then don’t bother commenting?!?! how hard is that to understand..If I don’t like a celebrity I don’t make a point to open the thread and take my time writing my thoughts..it’s just so pointless.
True fans will always love her and non-fans will not. End of story.
I’m not straight ………..I would never ever sleep with her !!!!!!!!!!! her lips are too muscley…..her body’s too thin……
I have a subscription to Harper’s Bazaar. The newstand cover is always different from the subscription cover. Angelina looks gorgeous as always. You can;t keep a good woman down.
Lover her!

What are they doing to keep anyone from photographing their kids? I haven’t seen them, especially the twins in a long time. How I miss Prague when we go to see them coming and going from school everyday.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Some people are so stupid to STILL believe she “made out” with her brother!! It was a closed lip kiss of sheer joy at having won the biggest award in her profession. Not a big deal unless you have a sick mind….
And does everyone forget that a man who was twice her age and married four times ALSO had a drop of blood worn around HIS neck, not just the 24-year-old wild woman?? Funny how it’s only the woman who drives people crazy, and by “people”, I mean insecure women. Notice it’s not men who have a problem with her…..
Damn she’s so gorgeous, yes I want her.
Yes I’m straight and married but I’d jump at the chance too.
I agree, she is beautiful but what I most admire about her is her work with the UN and her philanthropy. That is much more important than beauty. I am also not interested in sleeping with her as the article states but definitely do admire the work she has done for underprivileged.
harper’s needs help selling magz eh. i see. also to one of the comments on page 1, allow her the right to grow up and learn from her past. please. whatever you have against her is misguided.
Beauty, brains and guts ! Rarelly seen in Hollyweird at such a young age !
Jennifer Aniston would love to Angelina Jolie life. Angelina has it all. Global admiration, Beauty, Fame, Brad Pitt Babies, Oscar winner, Phlantropym 15 million dollar paychecks, and her ex-husband.
MARISA, you may claim to have not jumped in the Brangelina bandwagon, BUT you did make the decision to click on this thread, and DID take 5 mins of your life to post what you feel about her..so somehow the mere idea and sight of the gorgous angelina jolie has some affect on your thoughts and actions….
Deal with it girl….you secretley adore Angie, just like the rest of US!! :)
Jealous insecure women have the hate filled hearts and anger towards prettier more successful women. Women are more judgemental towards other women, that’s a fact.
Love Angelina For the Beautiful Lady she has Become.Blessings to This Precious and Beautiful Lady.May God Always Hold You in The Palm of His Hands.Thanks Jared, For This Thread.Have a Beautiful Day Jolie-Pitt Fans.
