Dear Hartford Courant Newspaper,

    I have paid taxes in both New England and rural Pennsylvania, and it is with great conviction that I must inform you that both areas are of equal fashion triumphs and mishaps. To assume that anyone in rural Pennsylvania finds Kate Gosselin's (of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame) goofy hair-don't "fancy" is grotesque.

    Save for Kate herself,I have never seen a woman anywhere--not in America or overseas--with that hot mess on her head. It is cruel and ignorant to blame an entire region for one fool's folly. After all, despite the fact that everyone in New England seems to be existing under the idea that Land's End is consistently being shown on the Paris runways, you don't see me vomiting all over your lame-ass lack of vision. Let's just keep pointing that  accusing finger squarely at the idiot who imagines that all of America is clamouring for her hair secrets. If anyone other than she finds that hair to be the next "Rachel" or Farrah", I would bet money that there are an equal number of misguided soccer moms in Connecticut and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and Rhode Island and Arizona with that dead groundhog on their head. 

    Let us recall the adage about glass houses and stones and monogrammed Land's End and L.L. Bean tote bags and if we don't have anything nice to say, keep it to our non-ironic wearing Docksider selves.
