TikTok: Texas toddler transforms into ‘Golden Girl’
(CNN) – A Texas toddler has been turned into a Golden Girl with a doozy of a hairdo.
There’s a reason Evelyn Mae Mathas is accompanied by the “Golden Girls” theme song.
Her mom says she turned into “a mini Betty White” after the girl’s grandmother, a hair stylist, gave her her first haircut, blow-dry and tease.
The result gave the internet a frenzy of ’80s nostalgia, especially when the small Golden Girl added padded shoulders and Liz Taylor’s White Diamonds perfume on TikTok.
Commenters recognize the ’80s in Evie. “I took a jazzercise class from her in ’89,” one says, while another says they’re pretty sure she sold them some Mary Kay Cosmetics last week.
Most say she reminds them of either Blanche or Rose.
Evie’s hair literally bounces – and there’s a whiff of the past in the wafers she passes to someone or the Werther’s Originals she hands out.
Her mom says the secret sauce is this Texas toddler’s large volume of hair and its texture and, of course, she says she was shocked when, after the first hair styling, Evie appeared looking like an old lady.
This toddler’s style is not old, but golden.
