My New Beauty Hero

CHICAGO - An 86-year-old Chicagoan who's been arrested more than 60 times pleaded guilty to the latest charge against her after being accused of stealing wrinkle cream and other items from a grocery store.

Ella Orko was arrested Aug. 2 after authorities say she stuffed $252 worth of items into her pants, including cosmetics, salmon, batteries and instant coffee.


She's obviously on the anti-inflammatory diet as prescribed by Dr. Perricone if she's stealing salmon -- and spry enough to walk to shop and steal by herself! Go, Granny, go - although I'm not crazy about her mannish haircut, she does damned good for 86:


She served her two days in jail; sadly, I could not found out the brand she stole!

Update! Orko allegedly took five packs of salmon, 11 packs of AA batteries, two packs of L'Oreal RevitaLift anti-wrinkle cream, eight boxed jars of Olay face cream and four jars of instant coffee, according to the lieutenant.

She looks rough but I admire her pluck. My mom's 86 and looks way better - still looking for the pot o'cream that does it all. Bless.

Go Granny go. Even if she looks like the love-child of Vanessa Redgrave and David Carradine.

Salmon? I thought codfish was the best thing for the complexion, but maybe it's hard to get in Chicago.

My theory: she planned to stuff the salmon in her face creases and mix the coffee and the wrinkle cream together to spackle over it. The batteries were for her travel size dildo.

Obviously.

*shakes head* I'm sorry, she keeps making me want to quote Miss Swan from Mad TV - or paraphrase, actually. "She looklikeaman."

Maybe she should've shoplifted some dented cans of tomatos so she could mix up some homemade botox.

I approve of all of those items but the instant coffee!

Save some of that instant coffee sweetie, you're going to need it. I've tagged you over at mrpeenee.

Yay! The more people who know about her, the better - I want to send her beauty cream and Oreos!

I have some leftover spackling paste I could send.

They wanted to give her a monitoring bracelet, but you know she's only use it as an accessory.
