Through the years when I want to talk about the most Republican, white, redneck place in Texas, I’m gonna tell you about Pasadena or Beaumont, but it’s usually Beaumont.  Beaumont has the same exact amount of churches as it does adult book stores.  I think that’s the law or something.

Well, Beaumont elected itself a female mayor by the name of Becky Ames.  Becky has been mayor since 2007. She is a certified Donald Trump cheerleader and was proud to be among the recognized public officials at Trump’s inauguration.

Well, Becky got herself in a little trouble.  She issued a stay-at-home order for the city of Beaumont and then, God love her, it just got to be more than a proper Texas big haired woman could be expected to tolerate.  Last week, Becky got caught soaking her hands at a local nail salon.

She swears she was just soaking in acetone to remove her old fake nails.

“I did not do anything wrong,” she told the paper. “I would not be upset with anyone who I found out did this.”

Ames said she had powdered nails removed at the salon and was not there for a manicure, according to the paper. The fake nails were causing her pain, she said.

On Thursday, the mayor issued a statement apologizing for visiting the salon, calling it a “lapse in judgment,” Fox 4 Beaumont reported.

“I should never have entered the salon last Tuesday,” Ames said. “I did not intend to take personal privilege while asking others to sacrifice, and for that, I am truly remorseful. As an elected official I am held to a higher standard.”

People may be dying but, Honey, nails are nails and they were hurting poor Becky.

I think she probably thought to prepare for this lockdown by purchasing a pallet of hairspray before it sold out.  Bad hair hurts, you know.

She’ll be reelected for sure because the people of Beaumont understand that looking good is the biggest part of the game. And Honey, they knew that long before Trump made it the national motto.

Becky and the salon are both being investigated.
