Hello Pineapple, this is Miss Foozie, and I want to personally thank you for taking the time out from your busy schedule to write an article about little ole me. “Miss Foozie: The transvestite, bouffant-blonde Hostess of Halsted Street. ‘Nuff said” [“Where the Gays Are,” September 22].

Miss Foozie was so happy about the article until you mentioned that I am a transvestite? No, no, Pineapple, Miss Foozie is not a transvestite, but a female impersonator or character that I have created, who has been voted for four years in a row as Chicago’s best female impersonator by my adoring fans in the Chicago Free Press. Nothing wrong for those who are transvestite, transsexual, bi, creed, straight, gay, lesbian, color, or race. Miss Foozie loves everyone, and maybe that’s why I’d like to ask you for a small favor?

With love always,
