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.

Truly "beloved". And "iconic". And an advocate of reproductive rights, I'm sure. Whoever she was.

Shirley Raines was found dead next to her bed with a “single white pill,”

Yes, she needed to be white-pilled but not that white pill, dummy.. Like the song says, Go ask Alice / When she's six feet under.

Shirley "Frozen" Raines,if that NYC scenario had happened.

What would Frank Drebin have uttered about her?

NOT "nice beaver."
