June Shannon, Honey Boo Boo's Mom, Gets Makeover at GLAAD Awards!

File this under "Wow!" June Shannon (Mama June), the jolly, folksy matriarch of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, walked the red carpet at the GLAAD Media Awards in NYC on March 16 looking fierce and fancy.

Wearing a fashionable long black wrap dress, the 33-year-old mom of four posed and pouted winsomely on the red carpet like a pro. Her hair, held back by a sparkly headband, was styled into soft curls and her lips were painted a bright pink.

the star, who has lost 102 pounds since filming for the show began two years ago, was in town because her show was one of the reality programs nominated for a positive portrayal of the LGBT community. (On her show, daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, declared, "Everybody's a little gay" in response to her uncle Lee Thompson's coming-out.) The show ultimately lost to The Amazing Race.

...and I agree. They may not be what is referred to as 'classy', but there seems to be real love there.

She looks great!
