DALLAS, Texas (CBS Local) – A Texas teen’s mugshot has unexpectedly launched her career as a makeup artist.
Marshala Perkins of Dallas was arrested in February and charged with possession of marijuana. The 19-year-old was reportedly questioned by police after finishing a makeup tutorial.
The teen told reporters she was sitting in her car waiting for friends when officers found two grams of marijuana in the vehicle. After the incident, Greenville police posted the mugshot on their Facebook page, leaving Perkins embarrassed over the arrest.
What the teen didn’t expect was her mugshot to get re-posted by a Twitter account that specializes in images of attractive people under arrest. Mugshot Baes tweeted Perkins’ photo in April and it was liked over 11,000 times. A retweet asking for makeup tips quickly went viral and has been liked over 280,000 times.
The explosion of requests for makeup help motivated Perkins to launch her own Instagram account, focused on promoting her makeup artist skills. “I was still kind of embarrassed about it,” Perkins added. “But then when I started reading the comments I was like, besides me being in jail people are really noticing my talent and what I can do.”

Two grams? I repeat...two grams? Did the cops use a magnifying glass to find it.
Either there is more to this than we are being told, or the cops have solved all the important stuff and now have a lot of free time on their hands.
That’s a dude.
This was in Texas. Not Pittsburgh.
No kidding
Two grams? As Ron White used to say in a comedy skit - that means I’m out.
I'm still struggling to visualize what two grams of weed looks like.
Not guilty I take it, maybe some touch up but still.
Dime bag.
Though I doubt they go for that anymore.
“Two grams? I repeat...two grams? Did the cops use a magnifying glass to find it.”
Two grams is a significant amount. This fills a bag that more or less fits over the palm of your hand. The stores around here also sell 1/2 gram bags. (I tried the “new”, more potent marijuana once — never again).
a corner of a baggie
i WOOD!
Do not want.
Two grams ain’t squat from the old days. Back in college $20 bought a 1 ounce bag (28 grams) Imagining 1/14 of that I stand by my opinion that it is insignificant in the scheme of things.
Point being that if that’s all they had on her, they were being hard asses for little reason or there is more we weren’t told. Maybe she mouthed off or something like that.
Hubby and I tried the new stuff a few years back. This ain’t your Daddy’s marijuana anymore.
