Example: Vogue 'The Real Edition'

Whilst watching the news yesterday morning, they were showing off the latest copy of Vogue's new release - 'the real edition'. Being marketed for 'real women' and attempting to close the gap between reality and hyperreality. But if you take a look at this magazine, it heavily supports Baudrillard's idea that this gap just can't be closed. For starters, Emily Blunt is on the front cover. Amazing as she is, this isn't a 'real' women, she's a celebrity. Another man in the video asks where all the big women are, again showing that this magazine just isn't realistic.
