Sad Baby Monkeys

In my latest column I said that though the Olsen twins looked like sad baby monkeys when they were little, now they look like lemurs. Lemurs or meerkats. 'Course you have to be careful when you characterize people this way not just because it’s mean and you’re revealed as a jerk but because the fans of the made-fun-of will be all over you in a heartbeat.For example a long time ago I was writing about Elizabeth Taylor and had the nerve to say that at least ONE of her chins was still pointy and instantly here came a letter by an outraged lady sent in to me from one of the papers where my column appears.“Where do YOU get off?" she wanted to know. "I see your picture. Your eyes are squinty, your hair is out of style and your teeth look false!” I liked that quote so much I put it on the cover of my first book.But hey, you know what, at least in my picture I’m smiling – AND I have normal amount of body fat. Look at this waif from the same issue of the magazine that has Meerkat Ashley on the cover. Plus is it just me or does she look just a little simple-minded ?
