I'm in Love With the Morton Salt Girl [Paperback]

Richard Peabody (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Most of Peabody's poems are wryly humorous. He's not a mean-spirited poet, even when attacking those he doesn't care for. In an age when the cruel lampoon has taken a firm hold, Peabody's compassion for human frailty is especially endearing." -- Kevin Bezner, Washington Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars by Marilyn Monroe-Cari Hixon new Morton's salt girl, February 11, 2003

Marilyn Monroe (LUCAS DIGITAL SAN RAFAEL CA ART DEPT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I'm in Love With the Morton Salt Girl (Paperback)

Hello to all of you. I am Cari Hixon, the new Morton's salt girl. I have redesigned the packaging and put yellow rain pants on me, to bring up to date, also the package has rained etched all over container now. I would like to represent the Morton's salt company with a new name, Morton's, not Morton, and a real person behind the little girl, I know this was probably a real person, but I believe I would be better at it. This book that Richard wrote is fantastic, and I'm sure he would like to write a sequal with the new logo, which is the same but better, and with a real person behind it, with more rain and yellow rain pants, and a real person behind the new name Morton's, me, the salt girl, Cari Hixon
