Faye Lanes “Beauty Shop Stories”. It’s the glittered-up memories of a Green Bean Queen in bedazzling story and song! Rhonda Faye Gunnels grew up in her mama’s beauty shop, Casa Vale Beauty Salon which was an old A-Frame house converted into a salon, with big mirrors and swivel chairs in the front room and shampoo bowls in the old back bedroom. On the front porch was a fat little girl in a glittered-up Burger King crown, practicing her beauty queen acceptance speech and dreaming of being a star of the stage!
“That girl belongs on Broadway!” Joan Rivers
The Dallas Morning News just called Faye “simultaneously hip and down-home. Her 90-minute performance recounts a series of delicious tales from Lane’s childhood and early career.”
