This Exists: Police Investigating How A Mexican “Drug Queen” Got Botox In Prison

Well, today’s certainly been a bit of a slow news day (good pick on when to make your announcement, Keith). That doesn’t mean things can’t be fun, though! On slow news days like today, you sometimes get the most incredible, weird news stories ever, the kinds that just don’t make the cut on regular days. This is one of them. Witness the bizarre story of Sandra Avila Beltran, a “drug queen” from Mexico City, who somehow managed to get Botox injections while in maximum security prison.

Really, this story leaves more questions that it answers. As CNN’s Brooke Baldwin pointed out, the chief amongst those is, “What on earth did she need Botox in prison for?” I mean, Styleite’s done plenty of stories about people going to prison because of stuff like this, but I’ve never heard of cosmetic surgery after you’re behind bars.

Anyway, enjoy the incredible weirdness of this story in the CNN report below. My favorite part is the fact that they chose to play a five second looped video of Beltran’s face in the background of the entire segment. It’s just enough to tip this fully into the surreal.
