Um, excuse me, but what exactly do you mean ("Burlesque," Jan. 26) by "She looks magazine fresh, more LA than Humboldt, despite the fact she's been here six years?"

Not all snaggle-toothed and barnacle-encrusted like the rest of us? Hey, if I hadn't just about come to peaceful terms with my not-too-badly-decayed degree of 62-year-old decrepitude, I would be insulted. Sheesh.
