Front Row, the unauthorized biography of Anna Wintour, has been on the stands for 24 whole hours but, inexplicably, the world is still turning. In an effort to convey the gravity of this tome, we're going to begin a daily feature in which we randomly open the book and print the best passage from wherever we land—because, seriously, there's something absurd on every single page. Today, we closed our eyes and landed on page 15:

Another reason [Wintour] always tried to skip gym was that she had to participate in bare feet, a school rule based on some obscure turn-of-the-century health theory. Anna feared picking up a skin irritation, such as the highly infectious virus called verrucae, a wart on the sole spread through athletic activity, which her friend had caught.

But more, Anna feared that the barefooted gymnastics might disfigure her slender feet.

This concludes your daily enlightenment session.
