Jennifer Lahmers Fox Hartford It is with deep regret that I tell you the Hartford Courant has decided to pull my column, No Makeup. I can only thank those of you who have been reading the column loyally. I have sincerely enjoyed writing for you and giving you a chuckle every once in a while. If you would like to contact someone about this decision the email is: letters@courant.com. Thank you everyone once again.

Yeah, now if they would just pull all the other nonsense and get these non-columnists out of the paper, things would look up for the credibility of The Courant. As Jennifer requested, I will certainly be sending a letter. Of thanks.
The anti-Campbell is gone. Shame. Jennifer was doomed after the “I won’t use my maiden name and conform to those cranky old feminist standards” column.
What petty stupidity don’t tear and artist or reporter down for creativity, or speaking their convictions.. Jen you deserve BETTER !!!!
I enjoyed Jen’s column very much. I found her approach very refreshing. Apparently the execs don’t appreciate the value of self-deprecating humor. Really sad….
Petty stupidity? Give me Campbell, Ubinas, McEnroe and Rennie any day over this nonsense. A waste of ink. And if she wasn’t attractive or worked for Tribune already, these columns wouldn’t have seen the light of day. Make room for real, talented journalists who deserve the space.
I am a HUGE fan of Susan, Helen and Colin – all of them true journalists. I always look forward to their columns and often save copies to revisit later. Having said that I think there is always a place for light, silly humor especially in these times.
