You Go, Big Haired Girl
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.

1Becky’s gotta get quicker on her heels than that. She could of sold it as a fingertip absorptive COVID-19 cure in a minute, in a red district.
2Because Becky doesn’t have acetone-based nail polish remover at home? Because she couldn’t get to a drug store, since they’re open, providing “essential services,” and buy some to remove her own fake nails? She just had to go to a salon and get someone else to remove them for her? Sure, sweetheart.
3Becky With the Big Hair? Is her middle name Karen?
4Randy Rainbow could turn her into quite a tune, and I’m sure Beyonce would approve
Who among us hasn’t slipped off to the nail salon to soak our fake nails in acetone during lockdown?
5Wanna bet it’s the shop owner who gets fined and not Becky Big Hair?
6That hair, cut, roots and highlights sure look fresh….
7Acetone is highly toxic. She shouldn’t be soaking in it, it’s hard on your liver.
Of course, if she were to inject it…?
8She’s the mayor, so why didn’t she declare nail salons open before she went in? No one in Beaumont would have questioned her!
9Fake nails cause pain? I did not know that. Now I’m glad I never got them.
10I hadn’t heard about about any adult bookstores in Beaumont in years. I used to drive by one on my way home from work, but it’s been closed for years. So I googled it and there’s 3 choices. A lingerie shop, a record store/head shop (bongs and whatnot), and the Spencer’s gift shop in Parkdale Mall.
11On the other hand, if you blindfolded somebody on any random street corner in town, spun ’em around 3 times and let ’em chunk a rock, odds are purty good they’d hit a church.
Off topic: MSNBC saying just now that Trump won’t be at the daily bleach briefing, making 3 absences in a row. Now he cannot return without a note from Dr. Birx.
12I had to live in Beaumont many, many years ago.
The city was having a cash flow problem and could not make the payroll. The local madam made them a loan.
IIRC, the State AG’s office came to clean up the town. The sheriff said he didn’t know why people just dropped envelopes of cash into his unlocked car. They were successful in shutting down the ‘hotels’ for a while. The madams just relocated to large homes in the high dollar neighborhoods.
13@BarbinDC #10 – I had fake nails for a long time and developed an allergy to something in them. While I was on vacation in Ireland. It really did hurt! I just went to the chemist, got nail polish remover and soaked them off.
