Try to top this one for self-parody-

nyt obit headline:

"Shirley Raines, 58, who gave l.a.’s homeless food and makeovers, dies"

"her work feeding people and dyeing their hair through her nonprofit, beauty 2 the streetz, was known to millions online."

(EVERYBODY is "known to millions" these days! Another story is about a woman who spent her life lobster-fishing in maine, died at 105, and is called a "folk hero"!)

Too bad the "makeover" lady didn't operate in nyc- she could've been giving the "homeless" (formerly called "bums") a nice touch-up before they froze to death on the sidewalk.
