But really, what’s wrong with heeding the louder inner voice that says, “Why on Earth would any thinking human being do that to her face?” In a world where up is down and down is up, day after day, it’s a relief to look at a celebrity face and see the texture of real skin, to see crows’ feet—or laugh lines, as we call them in moments of self-tenderness—that haven’t been smoothed into oblivion. Anderson is, as she always has been, gorgeous; she has the kind of face that doesn’t need a lot of help. We should all be so lucky, at any age, to be able to swipe on a little tinted moisturizer and a whisk of lip balm and head out the door looking like an off-duty movie star. But you can also read a face as a summation of choices. You can tell when someone has chosen joy. Anderson is telling us now that it’s the only choice.
In case you haven’t noticed, I have just the teensiest little crush on Anderson Cooper. Nothing major or anything, it’s just that I would do unspeakable things to him until my hoo-ha fell off.
Anderson Cooper’s on Instagram; but will there be nude shots?!

Anderson: No, I haven’t. I know it sounds so easy for me to say, “Stop what are you doing,” because I don’t have that addiction; I can’t really know how difficult quitting is. My son Quinton was about 10 when I started working with the campaign. I was speaking at high schools, and the teenagers were saying, “Too late. You needed to talk to us in elementary school.” And then I remembered my mom, at age 11, making that decision so young. I thought about my son. When I would go on a tour he’d say, “Go save one person, Mom, just even one person.” I think it’s a great thing because at 10 years old it made him think about not smoking.
