She wasn't all that great when she HAD had time to "pretty herself up."

My first reaction was of course to laugh, but then looking again, how sad. How far down has her life gone? Does she have no family to help her out? Where are her friends? I mean real friends, not the boys who helped her do this hoping for some boob time. I hope with this attention, someone from her life will step up and help her out.

As for the LOL caption, my vote is for the comment about being too close to the sun. That was funny.

Adding out two cents in agreement... My wife & I both had the same thought: "Meth".

Nasty stuff, Meth.

It was obviously a tragic laundry accident. Boys and girls, this is what happens when you are left in the spin cycle for too long. It would better explain the sheet as well.

Getting addicted to street drugs is entirely voluntary and it's done in the full knowledge of what the potential consequences are. Today you're a law student and a beauty queen, tomorrow you're a meth head, a criminal, and a citizen with a criminal record who's in and out of jail. Next week you're a two-bagger turning tricks with the most disgusting clientele possible. Next month you're living under bridges and nuttier than a fruitcake, losing fingers and toes every winter. The lower you are in the social food chain, the more predators and nightmares you have to deal with. The indigent and homeless have to deal with threats most of us can't even imagine.

I worked for years in 2 different county hospitals and I've seen this stuff any number of times with various kinds of substance abusers. It's not just the user who suffers, it's everyone in their families and the community too. And don't let me get started on the children mixed up in it.

The simple act of buying that crap subsidizes, one way or the other, probably 90% of crime. It's pretty much all inter-connected one way or another. Crime is like cancer, it spreads and infiltrates so many other criminal enterprises, even the ones that don't seem directly related to assorted robberies, burglaries, muggings, assaults, intended and accidental murders and whatever else is touched in the pipeline from producer to consumer.

The best treatment program is the one where you don't even try the stuff and keep those dollars out of criminal pockets.

Whoa!! And she's wondering exactly why her boyfriend left her?!?!

Actually, looking at both photos, there really wasn't a whole lot of good raw material to work with right from the start.

I guess her guy realized Attilla the Hun was more attractive and went for him instead.

When I saw the first photograph, I thought, "Some beauty queen. She isn't even pretty." That was BEFORE I saw the second photograph!

I'm sure you know the reason for the draping of the sheet (some agencies use a towel) but for those that don't I'll explain. Since mug shots are used for photo ID line-ups, many agencies do this so the ID is made strictly on facial features and not clothing. Collin County S.O. has been doing this for about twenty years.

For those who wonder, that's in Texas. -rc

Wild guess... At least one of the three guys is a known dealer.

With the simple statement from her, "Don't worry - I know this guy..." he gets money owed, she gets payback on an ex-.
