From Buzz Lady, to Council Lady?

We don't usually pay enough attention to many of the smaller community politics that surround Houston, but this one is interesting.  Roseann Rogers, aka the Buzz Lady, has filed to run for the Bellaire City Council,  Position 3.  She'll be running against Corbett Parker, a young attorney.

 

On her Facebook page, Rogers declared:

"As a working mom, I’m aware of how important our neighborhood is to everyone. I am reaching out to all of you for your support in my election and hope you’ll tell others about my efforts to... serve the community. In the coming weeks, you can show your support by putting up a yard sign, joining me at an event, or simply voting for me on Election Day!"

The development is interesting on several fronts.  First of all, as a longtime fixture on Houston's TV screens and social scenes, Rogers has a very high built in name ID.  I'm sure some Houston City Council candidates would love that sort of recognition.  In addition, the City of Bellaire has received their own share of attention this past year, and it hasn't been pretty.  The shooting of Robbie Tolan in his own front yard by Bellaire Police has garnered national attention.  It brought in the Justice Department, lawyers, and an unflattering light to a city government that's been fairly quiet about the accusations tossed their way.

 

Perhaps the Bellaire City Council could use some fresh faces, and fresh ideas.  With several council seats open, there will definitely be turnover.  It would also give Bellaire a chance for some positive publicity.  Rogers may be the first well known local to file for City Council, but she may not be the last. Stay tuned!

I wouldn't call Rogers' face a fresh one, with all that globbed on make-up. The woman needs a serious make-over on that face.

Her countenance is that of some kind of scary circus clown character - or maybe a Lady Joker, of the Batman variety.

I understand looks are only skin deep, but she really needs to work on this aspect of her appearance.

At least Roseann is no Whitney Casey.

I think Roseann is smart, savvy and clear-thinking. And I wouldn't doubt she is filled with new, fresh ideas.
