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.”

Enough for about four joints. That will attract attention.
Given that mj today is 4 to 10 stronger than in the ‘70s and ‘80s, that’s a significant amount.
not seeing a post from the freeper known as Lazz
...
is he in the hospital?
The 70’s in SoCal it was measured in
“Fingers”...
4 fingers in a sandwich bag,,,10 bucks.
Wait’ she was busted for two grams of pot?
How stupid and a waste of taxpayer resources....
what if the normal raisins identify as dates?
Naw. Why do you think that?
Raisins are considerably denser than dried marijuana leaf. The two grams of mj pretty much filled the weighing platform on my gram scale.
Given that this was a college town, on campus, I’d bet there is more to this story.
A&M is really that tough on weed? Hard to believe.
He’s been real quiet lately. Don’t know what’s up with him.
2g looks like one fat joint. Something passed around at a small party. Loose it would approx fill a milk jug lid. It is not much. 0.07 ounces to be precise.
Modern weed is not like the ditch weed of the 70’s through 90’s. The new cultivars are extremely potent. A single courtesy hit when your customer puts a joint in your face and has flown you to CO and is paying for everything including skiing will put you on your ass. Don’t ask me how I know. I was still incredibly groggy 20 hrs later. Almost missed my flight home.

2 grams is about $30 worth of weed. Arresting someone for this is kind of crazy.
Saw her on facebook. Definitely not a guy.
Two grams is a significant amount. This fills a bag that more or less fits over the palm of your hand.
2 grams is about the size of your thumb.
Aka a “Lid”
Got and lids for sale man...
"Researchers estimated that the average joint contains 0.32 grams (0.01 ounces) of marijuana."
The bag is flattened and did fit over the palm of my hand.
Lids and Bricks...
Good times were had with
A Kegger on Fiesta Island.
Her face is nothing a brown paper bag wouldn’t cure.
We rolled a massive joint back in the mid 70’s that required us to glue nine EZ-Widers together to manage all the weed. The stogie lasted one hour and forty-five minutes.
