Democratic Texas Sen. Wendy Davis, famous for her 12-hour filibuster against a sweeping abortion bill in June, appears in Vogue's September issue with a glamorous photo shoot and lengthy story about her career and future in politics.
The profile explores the 50-year-old lawyer's prospects at becoming governor and turning Texas "purple." But what we really learn is that Davis is an Urban Outfitters-wearing, red wine-lovin' mom who can riff about Girls with her two millennial daughters. Or, as The Washington Post puts it, "she's working on perfecting her 'cool mom' status."
[Davis' daughters] propose a tour of the family's Spanish-style town house—starting with the media room, where Super Bowl parties are held ("Mom's best friend is Patti Kraft, whose father-in-law owns the Patriots, so we're big fans," Amber tells me).
