I'm In Love With The Morton Salt Girl Richard PeabodyI'm in love with the Morton salt girl.I want to pour salt in her hair and watchher dance. I want to walk her through the salt rain and pretend that it is water. I want toget lost in the Washington Cathedral and follow hersalt trail to freedom.I want to discover her salt lick in the forests of Virginia.I want to stand in line for hours to see her walk on inthe middle of a movie only to have the film break and watch saltpour out and flood the aisles. I want to sit in an empty theaterup to my eyeballs in salt and dream of her.When I go home she will be waiting for me in her white dressand I will drink salt water and lose my bad dreams.I will seek the blindness of salt, salt down my wounds,hang like a side of ham over the curtain rod in the bathroomand let her pour salt directly on my body.When she is done I will lick her salty lips with my tongueand walk her down the stairs into the rain, wishing that Icould grow gills and bathe in her vast salt seas.AttachmentsThere's a tangerine rotting on my desk.I should probably throw it away,but I've grown accustomed to the shape sitting there.Besides, I like the way it smells.Out of crazed anticipation for this iconic little girl's sick, twisted, and glaringly LOOMING demise ---> I followed a clue trail of my very own, which lead me to a MOST chilling addition to Amazon.com's review section referring to Peabody's sweaty, greasy collection:

by Marilyn Monroe-Cari Hixon new Morton's salt girl, February 11, 2003
Reviewer: Marilyn Monroe (LUCAS DIGITAL SAN RAFAEL CA ART DEPT) - See all my reviews
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

IT CERTAINLY WON'T BE LONG -----> UNTIL HE FINDS HER!!!!!
...Well, she wrote this back in '03... BUT -----> HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN CHECKING?????
Uhmm, so yes. The slimeball teaches at Johns Hopkins and lives in Arlington.
Have at it.
ADDENDUM:
The greatest crime of all would be to put a veritable fashion muse in "yellow rain pants".
