Her cute little kids are blocking a view of whatever other enhancements she might have had done. I’m sure Ivanka Trump is her idol.

When I was a kid, I was really scared of clowns and anyone wearing a mask. Heavy plastic surgery on the face affects me the same way. They just look scary to me. I cannot read those faces like I can with normal faces.

8. The gofundme page says she was forced out of her salon
Wed Sep 2, 2020, 11:55 PM

by Nancy Pelosi. Some of the wording on the gofundme page:

"SF Salon pushed out by Pelosi forced to relocate"

"Erica Kious, a single mother of two and owner of eSalon, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got her hair done on Monday is now being forced to shut down and relocate her business and family due to outrage and threats she is receiving."

Erica Kious brought this upon herself by authorizing the appointment and then sending the video to Fox News. $32,000 raised so far. Gofundme should shut this down.

Nancy Pelosi calls rule-flouting salon visit a 'setup'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54007103

"I take responsibility for trusting the word of a neighbourhood salon," the top Democrat told reporters on Wednesday. "It turns out it was a setup."

Mrs Pelosi was pictured in the salon without a mask over her face. The California lawmaker has often criticised President Donald Trump for refusing to wear a mask.

"I take responsibility for trusting the word of a neighbourhood salon that I've been to over the years many times," Mrs Pelosi said in a testy press conference in San Francisco when asked about the incident. She said eSalon SF had told her they could accommodate one guest at a time.

"I trusted that - as it turns out it was a setup," Mrs Pelosi said. "So I take responsibility for falling for a setup and that's all I'm going to say on that."

With millions of Republicans (including their dear leader and congresscritters) flouting mask rules across the nation and throwing hissy fits when called out, I don't want to hear another damn word from them regarding this trivial matter.

And it was clearly a setup. https://heavy.com/news/2020/09/jonathan-denardo/

Maybe Kious had plans to move the Salon all along, since she let the license expire.

Comparing fact-based assertions of a setup to QAnon crazy conspiracy theories is a bit over the top, don't you think?
