Maybe if I took Anna Wintour to Congo for a Vogue cover shoot, I could get my expenses covered?

The New York Post says today:

According to sources, Wintour’s European entourage, which is usually about 10 people including her creative director, fashion director, several top stylists, European market editor, beauty editor and Publisher Tom Florio, is estimated to cost the company close to $250,000 in travel expenses.

Though there is one fundamental flaw in the “Take the September Issue Editor To Work Day” plan:

“Most of the top staffers get chauffeured around Paris in brand-new Mercedes sedans that are booked for the entire week.”

The best I can do in Congo is a few new Land Rovers. Even on Anna’s dime.
