Letter to Hazel

Dear Hazel, Be brave. Many complaints have surfaced about the anotomical inaccuracies of the Diablo brand skeleton--high waistedness, no scalupas, etc. Be brave. Art is worth it. Secondly, many of the older ladies here at Diablo Inc. (Pinky keeps them on the payroll, the way Hugh keeps bunnies) have older tattoos that have become a green blur. A TINY tattoo of a skeleton, however chic, will soon just look like a fattened tick. Be brave. A slightly larger version would, of course, delight the entire staff here at Diablo Inc. After ten years, flesh could be added. Ten years later-- clothing. Ten years later--a bouffant. This would, in effect, reverse the aging process and give the owner the freedom to change pesonalities throughout her lifetime (unlike the run-of-the-mill tattoo owner). Be brave. Extra fine sharpie tattoos might satisfy the tattoo urge. If not, Diablo Inc. will waive its usual copyright fee for you, dear Hazel. Be brave.
