Blogging from New Orleans, La

15 May 2008

In New Orleans, we have the meanest queens. Those cross dressing crooks are again on the loose. Now they’re terroizing Burger King:

As employees were preparing to open Sunday at about 4 a.m., a tall, slender redhead, dressed in a colorful floral dress and pink necklace, entered the store.

But the figure wasn’t a mother popping in for a warm Mother’s Day breakfast. “She” wasn’t even a woman, but a cross-dressing robber. And cold, hard cash was the order.

The suspect got into the store by crawling through the drive-through window, New Orleans police said.

Once inside, he demanded money before slinking out the same window to make his escape. Police said he fled in a white pickup truck.

The TP has the full story along with an aesthetic critique of the robber from a cashier at BK.
