Sfacfan posted an interesting article on the Andersphere this morning. It's from the New York Observer's Simon Says column and is titled "Anderson's Wartime Chic Is De Trop on Wall Street" by Simon Doonan. Here's a sample, click the link for the entire read.

None of us New Yorkers want our colonoscopy performed by a lady wearing a plunging Roberto Cavalli leopard-print silk-chiffon caftan. When a medical professional is advancing upon you with a needle or a probe of any kind, you expect that person to be wearing confidence-inspiring garments, such as those designed by Eileen Fisher or Ann Taylor. High fashion and medicine simply do not mix. War is another story. After watching Anderson Cooper’s intrepid reports last week, I am totally convinced that there is room for style on the battlefield. Somehow or other, Gloria‚’s handsome lad, while dodging bombs in Lebanon, became a style icon. Damn him! He looks so wickedly handsome and au courant! His preferred garments‚—a cobalt-blue sports shirt under a matte-blacktop-stitched bulletproof vest‚—have a definite whiff of the Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons or vintage Helmut Lang about them. As a result, Mr. Cooper gets my fashion-in-the-face-of-adversity award.




Yea me! If you read last night's blog entry I mentioned how much I've been missing David Gergan. Someone must have been listening because The Gerg joined Anderson on 360 tonight and the discussion was insightful, as always. Maybe next I should ask for Anderson to do tonight's show shirtless? Well you never know, it might work?


And lastly of all the well spoken, intelligent comments on Anderson's blog, on Wednesday, one stood out to me. I've never had the nerve to say it in my comments but I've thought it many times. Bravo anonymous.

"Thank you again for the comprehensive reporting from the frontlines.
Sure looks very scary. Just stay safe and please don't forget to call your Mom and reassure her that you are fine. I bet she's very terrified for you!"
