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.
Claro, que si.
1Claro, que oh hell yes!
2You certainly have a point there! Put down that Margarita and step away from the nachos.
3Cinco de Mayo sin los tacos, sin las margaritas, sin la cerveza, sin los nachos, sin los burritos, sin todos. It’s a sin.
4In the immortal words of some singer or the other “Una mas cerveza por favor senorita”.
5Y’all are making me hungry, but I think we’ll skip the crowds and give some of the places down the road in “Little Mexico” our business on another day when they’ll need it more. Enjoy!
Sometimes I would catch the last scene of “America’s Funniest Videos” when I was waiting for something else to come on, and I have one tip for you guys: stand well clear of any blindfolded little kid trying to whack a piñata or you may get that stick right in the nadgers.
6Uncle Freddie, superior nanny and all around great guy, is in charge of the party tonight! That’s a guarantee to good times, good food and loads of child friendly activities during the early hours until it’s bedtime for the kiddos.
Rhea, thank you for the piñata advice. Having been snipped, being smashed is not on my schedule of events.
7yesterday would have been my wedding anniversary. I still quietly give it a nod, 5 years after my husband passed. On May 5th we were in Mexico City having the time of our lives! Viva Mexico! To hell with the wall!
8Rhea: oh sure, NOW you tell me.
9Oooowwww… Slipstream! Did you have your own personal “Nutcracker Suite”! Owie!! I hope you found someone to kiss it and make it better.
10Maggie: I’m very sorry for your loss. But I’m very glad for your voice. This joint is so great because of the voices and opinions of its patrons and proprietors. Sometimes we disagree, but the things that unite us are massively greater than the things that divide us.
11What’s Spanish for “Hear, hear!” ?
12This Daily Show segment from a few years ago about Cinco de Mayo will make you laugh and cringe at the same time.
