Ah, Mugshot March is over! For our last post, I decided to return to New Orleans, to delve into the theme of Suspicious Persons. I’m noticing there’s a lot of crossover between this group and the distinct subset of people with bizarre hairstyles.  Enjoy our grand finale for 2024’s Mugshot March!

Helen Oliver, alias Eveline Smith, was a manicurist. Let’s put her hair aside for a moment. Because why would a manicurist need an alias?  Also, would you let this woman do your nails?

 

 

 

 

And here’s our coup de grâce, our pièce de résistance, our fancy French phrase person: Mrs. Harry  C. Brown. I know it used to be common to describe yourself as Mrs. Husband’s-first-and-last-name. But this is the only time I’ve ever seen this allowed on a mugshot. This alone would justify her being the last mugshot, but wait! There’s more!  Mrs. Brown was a 24-year-old housekeeper who had an alias. Much like the manicurist, it seems odd for a housekeeper to have an alias.

And her alias was “Alexander-Williams” with a hyphen! Which sounds like an elaborate attempt to be a one-named celebrity like Elvis, Cher, or Madonna.  This woman was way ahead of her time. She wins Mugshot March!
