Ask Aunt Rona

Dear Aunt Rona:

I’m sorry to bother you again but I don’t know what the public wants. Do they want unhealthy, emaciated girls who look like soda straws?
I don’t think they appreciate a real woman when they see one, damn it. Pardon my language.

Jessie from Texas

Dear Jess:

No problem, love hearing from you and Ash--and I can understand your frustation.
Frankly, I couldn’t have said it better myself, dearie.
Give my love to Bronx Mowgli (Jess’s infant nephew, Pete and Ashley‘s baby).
By the way I bought a can of what I thought was tuna but it says bumble bee on it. I don’t know what to do with it.

Love and kisses,
Aunt Rona
