To the Editor:

I hope Dr. Partridge had her tongue firmly embedded in her cheek when she wrote her commentary about her reflection in the mirror (“Reflections on Months Without Botox and Lashes,” 7/29). I honestly expected her response to be ”how refreshing it is not to have to wear makeup, dye hair and dress to the nines to feel good about ourselves in this COVID age of staying home, social distancing and wearing masks.”
