Okay, I am not a political professional. However, I do think that if you’re running for school board your yardsign probably should not look like you’re selling adult toys and lingerie.
The election is Saturday so I’ll let you know how she did.
Thanks to Rodney for jumping out of my car and taking a picture.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
JJ, if YOU are not a political professional, I don’t know who is. And, you are correct about that sign.
1Um,yeah. You’re right. It looks like the cover of one of those cheap bodice ripper paperbacks. I wonder who counseled her to do such a thing? But then I’m jumping to the conclusion that she couldn’t possibly have thought this up herself. Or maybe she actually did wing it.
2We know there are Texans who jump to conclusions based on the teeniest evidence imaginable. Has anyone denounced her as a lesbian yet?
3Sharon Lovelady sounds like a porn name – must have been tough for her in high school. I would like to see her run as a Republican Presidential candidate, though…
4Au contraire! I think it’s brilliant. With all the damn signs that are red, blue, green or white, and all the damn variations of the flag motif, this one is different and sets her apart. It’s playful, memorable and turns her name into a brand. Her married name, I’m guessing, because Michael Lovelady is listed as her Treasurer in the small print, a traditional spousal role.
If you must waste time, money and volunteers’ energy on sign placement – and it seems we’re forever doomed to – then this is the way to go. But as any political professional worth his rumpled jacket and stained tie will tell you: signs don’t vote.
5If the purpose of a “political sign” is to get a voter’s attention…. it worked.
You reckon she also sells Mary Kay Cosmetics??
6Is there a price list on the reverse?
7She is selling:
1) Mary Kay
2) Kotex
3) Porn movies
4) Vibrators
5) HEY, I AM ONE OF THOSE WIMMINS!
Definitely: Lame in Pink, not pretty
8I have to agree with daChipster … it’s an eyecatching sign and the lady was lucky enough to marry someone with the last name of “Lovelady” … picking it apart is like picking nits!!
9There’s only one question, did Miss JJ slow down to 30mph, before ‘requesting’ Rodney jump?
Someone way more brilliant than I once said, “all politics is local.” Depending on the district, that sign might be good, bad or boring. For instance, there are 16 counties in NV which can be distributed into one of three pools; marriage, divorce or bordello. In two of the three, those signs would not be noticed. No, make that 3/3. There’s so much neon in the divorce/gaming counties that sign would go unnoticed.
As for the lady’s name, I won’t enter that discussion. I am a Nevadan, but I respect Mama!
10What the world needs now is more Love and Ladies in politics.
11Unfortunately, the Texas Repugs are vehemently against both.
You think this will start a new trend in edible political signs?
Seriously, though, I’m kinda sorry for the woman considering her last name, unless she’s actually offering some special incentive to garner votes.
12UmptyDump, there are three ways of looking at her name. #1 – If that’s her maiden name, she’s probably a very strong woman with a great sense of humor and most probably a Democratic candidate. #2 – If she married a Lovelady, #1 holds true, only if she’s a Democratic candidate, and we can double down on strong lady with a sense of humor. #3 – If she is a Republican, she’s tone & color deaf to to all the possible jokes regarding her sign, and as Eykis commented: “Definitely: Lame in Pink, not pretty” (that probably was meant for the sign, but am thinking would go double for the candidate.)
And, if Ms. Lovelady is married to Ms Lovelady, Toto we’re not in Kansas or Texas.
13I guess there’s no such as bad publicity. It looks like one of them classier places like Cindie’s
14heh, heh………..been looking for a new name for doing “drag”………I should send a thank you
15We don’t need to know the outcome of the election to know how she did.
🙂
16I know this will come as a shock to everyone, but … she lost.
17Txscotty, I came up with a great drag name the other day you can use if you wish: Sonoma Beach.
18Hmmmm, maybe I should run for office, the signs would be nothing if not memorable. My last name is Cox.
19@JJ – Maybe she didn’t offer prospective voters enough campaign inducements. Or maybe she did and found no takers.
