As reported just about everywhere today, Vanity Fair's July cover story is a Bono creation in which he got together 20 of his "friends" who all have made some strides in helping the situation in Africa, had them photographed individually by Annie Leibovitz, and Photoshopped them together to make 20 different collectors covers. The only reason I'm really listing this here - besides the fact I like to think of VF as a fashionably political mag - is that I noticed everyone wore black, white or red (aka the RED campaign colors) for the shoot ... except for Barack Obama. The Illinois Senator was the only one to stand out wearing a non-neutral, his signature baby blue.
