A "Botox Bandit" Gets 5 Years For Stealing Beauty Treatments!

When will these self-absorbed folks learn that beauty is truly skin deep.Once you have beautified your inner being,it will show on the surface.Hopefully,this idiotic "botox bandit" will come to that realization during her 5 year prison stint.

Gosh,I can't fathom why people are so shallow.Writing bad checks to get beauty treatments,clothes,etc... is insane.It seems that most people enjoy being very superficial.How did society become so depth-less? Triviality is the order of the day for far too many people.

Here's more on this botox bandit from The L.A. Times:

"A woman known as the "Botox Bandit" for stealing the anti-wrinkle drug in Orange County was sentenced this week to five years in prison, according to local prosecutors.

Melissa Chesney, 46, of Anaheim Hills pleaded guilty to 21 felony counts, including burglary, theft, forgery and grand theft.

Chesney was accused of numerous crimes, but she was most famous for her schemes involving Botox, which made national headlines last year.
"On 17 different occasions between February 2009 and May 2009, Chesney shopped at stores and spas using fake names, identifying information, and fraudulent checks" to obtain Botox, according to a statement from prosecutors. "Chesney used at least seven fraudulent identities at six different businesses." (END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

R.I.P. Gregory Issacs! The Cool Ruler Rules In Heaven Now!

Another musical legend has died too soon.Reggae phenomenon,Gregory Issacs,passed away yesterday from lung cancer.He was only 59.One of his biggest hits is "Night Nurse." I will miss his suave voice.Gregory Issacs was truly one of a kind.And now he will never need a "Night Nurse" again.

Here's more from Wikipedia:

"He signed to Island Records and released the record that finally saw him break through to a wider audience, "Night Nurse", the title track from his first album for the label (Night Nurse (1982)).[6] Although "Night Nurse" was not a chart hit in either the UK or US, it was hugely popular in clubs and received heavy radio play, and the album reached #32 in the UK.[7] This success for Isaacs coincided with drug problems with cocaine which saw him serve a six-month prison sentence in Kingston in 1982 for possession of unlicensed firearms.[6][8] Isaacs claimed that he had the weapons only for protection, but it emerged that this was his 27th arrest and that Isaacs had become involved in drug dealing and had become addicted to crack cocaine.[8] He celebrated his release from prison with his second album for Island, Out Deh! (1983).[6] Isaacs was featured in the 1982 documentary Land of Look Behind.

When his contract with Island ended, Isaacs returned in 1984 with the "Kool Ruler Come Again" single, and began a period of prolific recording, working with producers including Prince Jammy, Red Man, Bobby Digital, Tad Dawkins, and Steely & Clevie, maintaining a consistent standard despite the volume of work produced.[4][6] Isaacs then built a strong relationship with Gussie Clarke of the Music Works label. They began with Isaacs' 1985 album Private Beach Party, and had a massive hit with "Rumours" in 1988, which was followed by further popular singles including "Mind Yu Dis", "Rough Neck", "Too Good To Be True", and "Report to Me".[6] The association with Clarke continued into the early 1990s, teaming up with singers including Freddie McGregor, Ninjaman, and JC Lodge.[6] He duetted with Beres Hammond on the 1993 Philip "Fatis" Burrell-produced "One Good Turn", Burrell also producing Isaacs' 1994 album Midnight Confidential.[6]

In the 1990s the African Museum label continued to release all of Isaacs' music, and that of artists he produced. In 1997 Simply Red covered "Night Nurse" and had a hit with it. Isaacs continued to record and perform live in the 2000s. In 2005 Lady Saw produced another version of "Night Nurse" with her toasting over the original lyrics.

Isaacs' drug addiction had a major impact on his voice, with most of his teeth falling out as a result.[8] Isaccs said of his addiction in 2007: "Drugs are a debasing weapon. It was the greatest college ever, but the most expensive school fee ever paid – the Cocaine High School. I learnt everything, and now I've put it on the side."[8]

He also performed at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 Inauguration at Jamaica.

In 2007 he collaborated with the Spanish rap group Flowklorikos album Donde Duele Inspira.

In 2008, after some 40 years as a recording artist, Isaacs released a new studio album Brand New Me. The album received positive reviews from critics, such as this review from Reggae Vibes: "Gregory is back, and how! 'Brand New Me' is a very suitable album title for the cool ruler's new album. He is back in a different style, more or less like we were used to from this great 'lovers & roots' artist"[9]

His nicknames include Cool Ruler[10] and Lonely Lover.

After a long battle with lung cancer, Isaacs died on October 25, 2010 at his home in south London." (END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.
