HAN EXCLUSIVE: FIRST LOOK AT PUGH’S SEXY NEW KIDNEY
HAMMOND, Louisiana — When State Representative Steve Pugh announced last month that he is to receive a kidney transplant due to problems caused by high blood pressure, fans and journalists alike flocked to local hospitals to try to catch a glimpse of the lawmaker’s kidney-to-be.
“In 2011 old kidneys are out and a new kidney is totally in,” revealed Stevez Sonesta, local celebrity fashion and gossip blogger. “What a fabulous move by the congressman!”
Despite its recency, Pugh’s health situation has already had a big impact on the ongoing Tangi Fashion Week, but the latest trend is causing quite a headache for some.
“We worked throughout the night rebuilding the catwalks,” said one local carpenter, “to make them wide enough to accommodate the dialysis trolleys.”
The hard work paid off in the end, however, as catheter-clad models paraded down the runway with dialysis bags trailing close behind in front of a packed house at last night’s Benson Dermatology-sponsored fashion show at Ponchatoula’s Chesterton Square.
“The congressman has definitely caused quite a stir here this week,” said Parish President Gordon Burgess after the show, sporting a trendy cowboy hat, bolo tie, leather chaps and spurs.
Pugh will undergo the transplant later in the year after his re-election bid in the fall, coinciding with the launch of his new fragrance, Nephron for Him.
