From Marion Maneker's profile in Slate of finance blogger Felix Salmon:

The first time I met Salmon late last year, he appeared at lunch on a second-hand bicycle having pedaled over from the East Village wearing a puffy powder-blue jacket made from wispy fibers that gave him the air of a costumed-animal character at a theme park.

Ouch.  I sure hope Maneker never decides to write a profile of me.
