No tats ‘n’ thongs for you, Welfare Queen!

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana welfare recipients would be prohibited in state law from spending the federal assistance at lingerie shops, tattoo parlors, nail salons and jewelry stores, under a bill that received the support Wednesday of the House Health and Welfare Committee.

The Department of Children and Family Services already has enacted the restrictions in emergency rules. The bill (House Bill 1176) by Rep. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, would enshrine them in law.

Broadwater said he wants to make sure people use the federal aid to provide basic needs for their families.

The restrictions would cover the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program — commonly known as welfare benefits — and the Kinship Care Subsidy Program. Both programs pay cash assistance to low-income families for items like food, clothing and housing.

Also barred under the bill from taking welfare debit cards would be video arcades, bail bond companies, cruise ships, psychics, adult-entertainment businesses, nightclubs, bars and any businesses where minors are not allowed.

Violators would stop receiving welfare benefits for a year for a first offense, two years for a second offense and permanently for a third offense. Businesses that violate the law would be fined $500 for a first violation, $1,000 for a second time and $2,500 for additional violations.

Tracking violations may be difficult, however, because the welfare money can be taken off the electronic benefit card as cash through an ATM.

The measure, backed without objection, moves next to the full House for debate.

The lingerie that Julia Roberts wore in her Oscar-winning performance as Erin Brockovich is currently up for auction online.

Auction house Nate D. Sanders is selling a custom-made bra and panties set worn by Ms Roberts in the 2000 film, with bids currently topping out at $1,665 on its site.

The black lace set was produced for Ms Roberts by Ultimo Miracle Solutions, which fitted their ‘Plunge Bra’ with silicone to allow the actress’s bosom to better resemble that of Ms Brockovich.

Following the film’s release – which grossed more than $28million in its opening weekend – the bra became Ultimo’s best-seller and was worn by multiple celebrities on the red carpet, according to Nate D. Sanders.

The movie, which detailed Ms Brockovich’s work as an environmental activist in California, apparently has at least four die-hard fans who would be willing to purchase Ms Robert’s used lingerie at a hefty price.

The lot currently has that exact number of bidders, and was originally set with a $1,250 minimum price tag.

For those who feel like they may be missing out on some remarkable memorabilia, there is still five days of bidding left to go.

Calm down lads. The studios always have multiple copies of “props” on hand for a movie, just in case things get mislaid or forgotten, so this is likely just a set which was never worn.
