She honestly looks like a male to female transsexual. Very masculine.

Omg I have heard this comment so many times from so many people. I even argued with coworkers who refused to believe she has the biological equipment to have carried her two children. She really does look like a surgically altered man.

They look like a weird couple at a casino where you can't help but wonder what their deal is but you are pretty sure it involves a dead sex-worker somewhere.

This wimp is embarrassing himself and his kids. Is this a humiliation ritual to win those government contracts? This women looks like an evil manipulative conniver.

She probably told him it was her dream to be in Vogue and so he made it happen. I bet she gets featured again when they get married.

What’s up with her mouth? Looks like a botch job

I see this and think that the Vogue editor wants a favor from a billionaire.

Because he donated a lot of money to the Met Gala and voila.

Is this true? If so, funny. I’m the one who said the Vogue editor wanted a favor.

And if I happen to have distinctly different tastes in clothes and style and fashion than those two... well, that's fine. It takes all kinds, doesn't it? They're going for the all-American down-home look, and you'll concede it has a certain mass appeal.

That is in no way the down home all- American look!

Well, the aspirational one. The real one is people of Walmart, you mean? But a lot of Americans will see that photo and feel a connection. The values reflected are supposed to be evocative of what America stands for, in a non-political way. It's Scarlet O'Hara's realization that nothing matters except her home soil of Tara. Contrast that with Elon who is out of shape and calls his son "XAE 12", and his media platform "X". Or Mark who looks and behaves like a robot in his metaverse. It's a very clever way of making this billionaire and his girlfriend relatable.

I give it full marks for PR campaign. There is nothing so successful as the obvious.

Why are they so aggressive in doing PR? Isn’t the point of being a billionaire having privacy??

Excellent question, and the question we should be asking. Maybe he's considering going into politics, or maybe he's gearing up for lawsuits or congressional hearings or controversial decisions by Amazon or maybe there's going to be a major shake-up at WaPo.

Good PR is never wasted, and this didn't cost him too much effort considering the accrued goodwill of the populace.

PP you are responding to- I feel it's just a lot more dumb than that? Like they want attention for the sake of getting attention... is anyone else getting that vibe?

PP you replied to. There is no such thing as attention for the sake for attention. That's a myth. Most people aren't mentally ill to want attention in that way! There IS such a thing as attention for money and influence. That's a much more strategic and calculated enterprise.

In PR, what you want is the right kind of attention at the right time for your business or image, because accrued goodwill from certain groups will translate to more sales, or to the benefit of the doubt given for an upcoming issue. Occasionally, for some people, even negative attention is useful. But for most celebrities and people thrust in the public eye, they more they can be disciplined about curating a positive image to build their brand, the better the outcome will be for their bottom line.

Some people are incredibly disciplined, like Tom Cruise. It helps if you don't have an actual life, and are 100% focused on your persona, with no outside commitments, like kids to schlep to school, etc. Some people slip up and get pictured in situations that don't make them look great, but they're only human and most of us can't be on our guard 24/7.

For this photo, with the kind of people involved, that's 100% calculated branding.

She looks like a man.

I’m surprised by all the hate. I think they seem kind of cute! Ridiculous, but sort of sweet and happy.

OMG this is so true - thank you for articulating it!

If I were them, and took these pics, I would have the sense to keep them to myself.

Agree. Also agree the Vogue photog wants a favor in the near (or not so near) future

It seems he is a midlife crisis nerd, she is a mentally ill alpha who gets off on the attention and showing the world she has this worm wrapped around her finger. Both are trash.

Agree but not really about trash. Much worse people out there. It is cringey though.

That’s the thing… they do seem kind of mentally ill. Not in a particularly harmful way, just in a weird attention seeking way. Jeff Bezos has more money than God… why would he need or want to build up a brand? He seems perfectly happy jet setting around the world with his stretched out future bride.
