In a great example of a brand’s appealing to both high- and middle-brow tastes, Sally Hershberger, who will return to HSN in June, earned a positive shout-out from Vanity Fair Beauty Blogger SunHee Grinnell.  Her exact words, “Sally rocked on HSN— catch her if you can!”  So here is  a question:  If those in the outer orbit of the Condé Nast universe like Ms. Grinnell can so cavalierly laud an HSN pitchwomen (albeit one with NYC salon bona fides), can it be long before we see Anna Wintour hawking a Vogue collection on one of the DRTV networks?  That would be a sight.  Vanity Fair Apr. 13, 2010
