Lettuce on Beautiful Model: I Hated Your Cover!


Dear Las Vegas Weekly,


Don't tell me, the salad on her crotch was ... a new salad named "beaver salad" ...




Robert Corum



P.S. What do you tell a girl to get her to pose with lettuce? Just say "money" and that's it?




Lettuce on Beautiful Model: I Want a Large Digital File of Your Cover!


Hello Las Vegas Weekly,


Can't you give us a better version [on-line] of your awesome current cover? Otherwise, I will be forced to scan [the magazine itself].


Best regards,




Plamen

LV producer looses [sic] New Orleans getaway home


Producer Norbert Aleman of "Crazy Girls" and "An Evening at La Cage" at the Riviera Hotel has lost his second home off of Bourbon Street in the heart of New Orleans. He was in Mexico when the hurricane hit. He said, "My house is a submarine. There is no way in or out. I can't find out anything except what's on the news. I'm happy to be alive. I am preparing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 'An Evening at La Cage' this September. This isn't the first time I've been a victim of nature—I lost my million-dollar Woodland Hills mansion in the early '70s due to wildfires."




Thanks For Giving Me Someone To Relate To, Wink!


Dear Sonja,


Your last two columns felt as if they were written just for me ... with some irony thrown in to remind me just how foolish I can be at 42 and laugh at myself, too!


The week before your column "A Youthful Lack of Plans" (August 11), the 30-year old I have been in a relationship with for a year went south on me. My daughter says: "His loss, Mom. He's the one coming up." Because as a single middle-aged (uggh)—fit, too!—woman, I have a mortgage, two cars, a profession, etc., with more bills than I can pay on a teacher's salary. Doesn't stop me from asking myself, "Why are you with him?" He's grown on me is all I can figure out. He may be related to the person you wrote about—same drawbacks!


Your next column, "The Way They Were" (August 18) tugged at my heart because both of my kids are now living in LA, attending a junior college. My son (18 years old) just left on August 21.


I never believed it would be so tough/hard to hug him good-bye without lagrimas (teardrops). I'm proud of both of them, happy. The one thing I want is for them to go to college as young adults, not like me, a single mom with two kids.


This letter is to tell you how good it feels to know I'm not the only one facing/living some stupid/tender situations.


I've always wanted to meet my male counterpart—are there any particular places 35-plus Latinos hang out that are bicultural? If so, can you write a column about such (places) and I can be forewarned, or fortunate for once?


Sincerely,




E.C.
