Lyse Doucet

Sarajevo, February 4, 2003

I'm developed quite a crush on the BBC's Lyse Doucet. I feel a bit guilty about this because while she's reporting on the current crisis from Beirut I'm tending to think about how sexy she looks in a flak jacket. I'm delighted to have just discovered from the link above that she's Canadian - although she sounds Irish to me. I'm reminded of the book Our Woman in Kabul by Irris Makler who was one of the first journalists to enter Kabul after the 'fall' of the Taliban - in it she remarks on the fact that while she was reporting historic events, most of the feedback she received was about her lipstick.
