Redneck Mary Kay

Sunday afternoon, I was driving home from church and rubbernecked when I saw this abomination sitting in the P.F. Chang's parking lot. Among the rows and rows of Lexus luxury sedans, sporty Range Rover SUVs, and the occassional mid-life-crisis-Honda NSX, stood this loud-and-proud HOT PINK Oldsmobile. In the land of the Cool Springs elite, this beauty was hard to miss.

Lately it seems as if there is a trend among That-Ain't-Righters of the world to commit heinous acts of That-Ain't-Rightness utilizing the color pink (see the previous blog entry). Maybe the justification is that pink is such a lovely color and will make any situation seem happy and carefree. Maybe it's because the color pink is so loud that one might not notice other flaws on display to the general public. Either way, the owner of this HOT PINK Oldsmobile wasn't gun shy with that can of spray paint.

There may afterall, be an explanation for why this HOT PINK Oldsmobile exists. I bet its owner is an independent Mary Kay salesperson who just hasn't been able to make the sales part of the equation happen yet. Who says that you have to be an overachiever in the Mary Kay empire to drive a Pink Cadillac???

Code Pink: Furry Explosion

I hate that this picture didn't turn out a little better, but it will have to do because soon after this, Mary Anna was told she was breaking the law for taking pictures at the movie theater. Whoopitty Doo.

I fully support the "functional" shoe. We women stuff our feet all-too-often into uncomfortable shoes for the sake of fashion. So believe me when I say that it's good to have that one pair in your collection that doesn't hurt your feet. But this girl took it one step too far. House slippers are just that...slippers to be worn IN THE HOUSE. And even then, I'm not sure about pink furry ones. It looks like she cut off Big Foot's feet and dyed them pink to match her purse.

And that, my friends, ain't right.

Survivor: Memphis

In the south, once the warm weather hits, it is fairly common to pass roadside stands along highways or country roads. Most of the time they're selling home-grown vegetables- fresh corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons- or other times stands are set up to sell some kind of homemade craft. Heck, I've even seen people selling fireworks on the side of the road close to the 4th of July. And of course, how can we neglect the junior entrepreneuers and their highly successful lemonade stands?

But then you travel to Memphis. And not only do you witness several drug deals go down, but you capture the most ghetto roadside stand of them all on your camera phone. This TAR moment is compliments of my friend Ben.
