Did she stick her finger in a light socket? :eek: ---

Hmm. To carry that kind of thing off, you need to have an interesting face. I clicked on the picture, saw the hair, scrolled down… more hair… more hair… extremely plain face. Sorry, but no. ---

Thanks, I just spent the last 1/2 hour looking thru mugshots. There are some good celeb ones on there. [This](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/tampa14mug12.html) kinda creeped me out. Looks like she’s got a Terminator eye or something. If you hit the ‘next’ tab on that pic you get to Cuddy\* from house. ---

She should go to jail for sure, 'cause she listed her profession as “spammer”! ---

Wow. You guys are harsh…I won’t be posting any of my younger days’ pictures…On a side note – do you have any idea how long it takes to get hair that long to spike? ---

It’s Pam from “The Office!” Two questions - what is “Soh of Alcoh” as an offense? and Why are some of the girls arrested for prostitution/exposure grinning so happily in their mug shots? ---

I really would like to know the products she uses. For that matter, how DOES she do it? It looks like it would take more than one person. ---

[QUOTE=freckafree] I really would like to know the products she uses. For that matter, how DOES she do it? It looks like it would take more than one person. [/QUOTE] Typically, the best way to spike hair (especially when it is that long) is either with sugar water (mix just enough sugar in hot water to make a paste, aplly liberally, let set) or Aqua Net hairspray (if you can find it, seems I remember it was banned due to CFC’s or something). It is always helpful to have assistance, but one can do it oneself, if one is so inclined and has long enough arms. FWIW, Jell-o also works great. The added bonus to Jell-O is that you can get great, temporary colour results, too. ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] Why are some of the girls arrested for prostitution/exposure grinning so happily in their mug shots? [/QUOTE] Two thoughts came to mind: a) They just saved 50% by switching to Geico or b) Free advertising? That hair…it’s just so.. :eek: I’m thinking she probably had to lay on her side? Looks like it was brushed flat and sprayed? 😕 ---

I’ve seen it done with gel, followed by laying on one’s side and ironing. ---

I wonder how she got to the mugshot and booking with it stil standing in place. Did she keep her head tilted sideways the whole trip in the backseat, so her hair looked nice for the mug shot? ---
