No!" she gasped, her eyeballs popping. “I’ve been there twice, bat I don’t live there. I'm flattered! I love California, and I'd like to JUve there . . . either near Palo lAJto or Malibu ... I love the climate," she concluded enthu siastically. Marge insists that her dark coloring “isn’t a Max Factor product!’’ “It’s a five-hour Sea side creation.
