For 3 years, Shirley Raines (beauty2streetz) has visited Skid Row to provide essentials, beauty services, and her revitalizing spirit to its homeless community. In the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic, Raines explains why she's not stopping now.
has spent nearly every Saturday visiting the Skid Row area of Los Angeles to provide essentials, beauty services, and her revitalizing spirit to its homeless community. But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Raines has had to adapt quickly and pivot her offerings to protect her community.
This past Saturday on a cool, gray morning, Raines began her day by doing her full “exaggerated glam” look: precise, saturated washes of power blue and ruby red pigment on the eyes to play up her new slime green hair. She completed the look by strapping on a bedazzled crystal face mask that was custom made and donated to her by costume designer Perry Meek’s label Aussiegear.
Raines explains that in addition to the health and hygiene services she provides, she is also fostering a sense of trust. She explains that growing up in Compton, California, has helped inform her understanding of the social contracts of the community. “One of the rules is: Don’t close your eyes and always watch your back,” she says. “So I’m asking them to lay back, close their eyes, and trust that my fighters for the world will make sure nobody will run up on them.
