(photo credit: Mark Seliger, exclusively for Vanity Fair.)
I have here in my hot little hands the latest issue of Vanity Fair, which, though alleged not to hit newsstands until April 11, mysteriously arrived at the Fremont PCC several days early.
It's the "green" issue, with great feature pieces from Al Gore and Mark Hertsgaard, and a 20-or-so-page photo spread with environmental notables of various sorts -- including the "E-gitators," pictured above. Go e-gitators! (I guess that makes Chip's new kid an e-gitator tot.) From left to right: Graham Hill of Treehugger, Jennifer Boulden and Heather Stephenson of IdealBite, Laurie David of StopGlobalWarming, and our very own Chip Giller.
Debate rages about who came off as more rakish and handsome, Graham or Chip. I think my wife more or less nailed it when she said, "Graham is more WB handsome; Chip is more Discovery Channel handsome." I guess we can live with that. (Good call keeping the stubble, Chip!)
But ladies ... can we talk about the Mary-Tyler-Moore-style sweater belts? Did this get trendy when I wasn't looking? Cause I don't care if your belt is made of bamboo and crafted by workers in a well-paid Guatemalan peasant collective, sweater belts is fugly, and I'd hate to see such lovely, talented, committed e-gitators end up getting fugged.
Anyway, as far as I know, none of the content is available online yet -- so just go out and buy it on a newsstand near you. You can put Chip on your wall!
He's come a long way, baby.

lost opportunity
Mr. Treehugger looks mighty fine to me. But in fairness to poor Chip (I am not sure "Discovery Channel handsome" is much of a compliment, and I am sure he is quite cute at the right time and place), Mark Seliger did not really do a very good job in helping us appreciate the charms of any of them, boys and girls alike.

Yeah! Long Hair!
First of all, I have a hard time believing that picture represents Chip then, as compared to Chip now. That said, I love the long hair! I'm sorry to see Chip has lost the faith! Oh well, he has founded a cool enough website that I guess he can do what he wants...

Long hair, rah, rah!
I agree with Epidimos. Chip's hot in that picture. And, I'm not just saying that because I like long, flowing hair! Seriously, it's precious!

VF article
Isn't it disappointing to have a Kennedy on the cover of the "Green" issue of VF when it's my understanding they are in opposition of the windmill farm near Cape Cod?
