A slave to her addiction

[Legs]

This is an interesting article on a homeless woman, with some pics. Note her change in appearance. Don't do drugs, kids.

Rhonda Bye had a lot going for her -- brains, beauty, feisty strength.

Heroin and crack crushed it all. (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2006/03/25/MNG6OHU6S91.DTL)

The narcotics ruined her looks and attention span, snuffing out her potential both as a young clothing model for Nordstrom and as a computer whiz who could fix office network problems. Three years ago, a slave to her heroin addiction, Bye landed on San Francisco's streets as a homeless panhandler.

:cry: It is sad to see such potential snuffed out.

Huh I could do that. Take a pic of my brother in law month by month...

Or I could do the faces of Crack and do my Step sister in law.

Its a sad sad world

Crikey. Pretty compelling visual arguments against using. The skin and mullets alone are frightening.

I didn't know meth & crack caused mullets :chin:

I didn't know meth & crack caused mullets :chin:Look at some of the other pictures! Maybe it's just coincidental, but fear of developing nasty skin and/or a mullet is more than enough to keep me away from the meth. :shudder:

[Legs]

yes, they all have those skin lesions... a dead give away for a meth user :yup:

The mullets are just a weird koinkydink.

:sad: I wish things would have turned out better for them...

[pescifish]

I'm pretty sure a series of photos taken of me over the past 25 years could end up looking like that even without the benefit of drug addiction. :\

I don't believe that for a moment, pepperchick :hug:

[pescifish]

Well, on the off chance you call pepperspray-lunachick "pepperchick" like I do, I would add that every photo I've ever seen of pepperspray shows she's totally beautiful! :yup:
