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.”

"...what if normal raisins identify as dates..."
It was probably one of those “well, look at what we have here!” moments.
I’m still struggling to visualize what two grams of weed looks like.
A nice bud about 1/2 the size of your thumb.
Now that my FRiends is a sad commentary on what the government's debasement of our currency has done.
Two grams for $30? That's the real crime.
It’s powerful though. Like the other guy said, not your 70’s dirt weed.
Greenville police. A suburb city NE of Dallas.
That is a pinner @ .32 grams. I am talking about a fatty. Assuming 5 people in the car that is only 0.4 grams each. Could also have been in a blunt given her ethnicity or 5 individual joints.
Why she didn’t have the sense to eat it while she was being pulled over is beyond me and also makes me think it was a blunt (gutted cigars filled with MJ.)
I remember it well. We called that a 'dime bag'. Two fingers was five dollars, which we called a 'nickel bag'.
It’s about enough to make two nice ‘’fatties’’ or four small joints.
Yep. Lots of careful crossbreeding over the years.
I highly recommend the book “The Cornbread Mafia” by James Higdon.

Where did you come up with Texas A&M?
It was in Greenville, a suburb East of Dallas.
Don’t see the big fuss. I guess it’s a contrast since so many ppl in mug shots are whacked out.
do minors (under 21) get arrested for having one six-pack of beer?
“Now that my FRiends is a sad commentary on what the government’s debasement of our currency has done.

The most cogent comment of the entire thread.
Well said.

The gram (alternative spelling: gramme;[1] SI unit symbol: g) (Latin gramma, from Greek grámma) is a metric system unit of mass.
Originally defined as “the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm3], and at the temperature of melting ice”[2] (later at 4 °C, the temperature of maximum density of water). However, in a reversal of reference and defined units, a gram is now defined as one one-thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram which itself is now defined, not in terms of grams, but as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype of a specific alloy kept locked up and preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures...
Comparisons
1 gram is roughly equal to 1 small paper clip or pen cap.
The Japanese 1 yen coin has a mass of one gram,[10] lighter than the British penny (3.56 g), the United States cent (2.5 g) and the euro cent (2.30 g).

Gee. I guess it is a small amount.
Too much makeup, imho.
That’s because you’ve been married since ‘83 (same year we got married). On-the-prowl requires more war paint to catch the elusive quarry.
You’re probably right, although Mr. T told me from the beginning that he doesn’t care much for makeup, which was fine with me.
