A Florida woman
was taking care of her bikini area while driving her car, and wound up rear ending an SUV;
The 37-year-old Barnes catapulted to instant fame for an alleged multi-tasking mash-up that earned the bottle-blonde's mug shot a spot on hundreds of Web sites.
According to a startled Florida Highway Patrol trooper, Barnes was shaving her bikini area while driving south on the famed Overseas Highway when she crashed into the rear of an SUV March 2.
In the police report obtained by ABC News, the trim job was apparently essential because the arresting officer, trooper Gary Dunick, said the Indiana native told him she was heading to Key West visit her boyfriend.
"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Dunick told the Key West Citizen.
And apparently she enlisted her ex-husband's assistance in holding the steering wheel while she took care of business. They tried the ol' switch-a-roo after the accident but the cops didn't buy that story. Barnes also was driving on a suspended license as the previous day she had been convicted of DUI and driving on a suspended license.
Moral of the story: if you're going to attend to personal business insist that someone else drive!
