The model, writer, businesswoman and podcaster Emily Ratajkowski travels to the picturesque town of Chinchón, southeast of Madrid, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Vogue Spain’s May 2023 issue.

Emrata embodies Mediterranean sensuality in a fashion story that is pure style, celebration and tradition.

Photographer Brett Lloyd [IG] captures Ratajkowski, who is styled by Laetitia Gimenez Adam, in a story with a Sophia Loren vibe. That’s a compliment ER.

Eva Blanco Medina writes the EXCELLENT interview.

The multi-frequencies talent really delivers as a model. In fact, she delivers way more than several of her hot properties colleagues.

Maybe we’re all figuring out the full range of Ratajkowski’s prodigious talents simultaneously, because she is everywhere all at once.

Emily Ratajkowski reminds me of Marilyn Monroe, who also sought to be regarded as a woman with an active, intelligent brain. Speaking of this major transition to being a multi-hyphenate writer, 'podcaster', political subject and mother [as described by Vogue], she explains:

“I thought the most I could do with my life was be a sex object and I said to myself, 'My God, I'm so unhappy.' So I started writing.”

The sassy feminist [a PROUD feminist], Emily Ratajkowski has quite a lot to say about social media’s obsession with her love life — and especially the Harry Styles Tokyo kiss.

"It's very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them," she shared with Vogue Spain. "I'm just a person who's gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship, so this is the first time in a long time that I've been in a dating stage."

"Not that I'm surprised, but it's a tiny slice of my life," she continued. "Most of my life is focused on my son and my work. But I guess these issues don't inspire the same flashy headlines. The invasion of private aspects is very hard for me."

In working on renewing the AOC archives, and loading in new fashion photography from the age of the supers, it’s a masive acknowledgement how everything has changed in terms of objectifying women in popular culture.

This topic comes up with Vogue Spain discussing the 10th anniversary of the debut of ‘Blurred Lines’ on March 26, 2013. Speaking of her journey into 'intellectual respectability vs. capitalization of sexuality', EmRata uses AOC’s fav word: ‘nuance’.

Ratajkowski is firmly planted in the need for nuance in a digital world that only sees people and behavior in black and white. The writer and podcaster doesn’t condemn the trend. She just doesn’t see how it helps us move forward in a population of very complicated humans with a wide variety of needs and opinions. We say we reject fundamentalism and then write similar rules in our own interctions. ~ Anne

PS: To back up EmRata, I read a day or two ago about a well-known sustainability blogger who mentioned microwaving a sweet potato in a video.

Social media went nuts with condemnation and was ready to banish her to Siberia with no Internet, because she admitted to microwaving a single sweet potato. I don’t know how to deal with people like that — and they are uber-progressive environmental warriors — NOT MAGA. The behavior patterns are identical — until the shooting starts. MAGA owns the guns issue.
