Undid revision [[special:diff/1300148927|1300148927]]: The concern animating [[WP:MUGSHOT]]'s admonition that a mugshot must be linked to a subject with a high-quality RS is that a mugshot "can imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime." Here, the subject herself has publicized her mugshot and said it ought to be used here, see talk page, so I don't think MUGSHOT applies, but cf. BLUE to the extent that MUGSHOT speaks to a VERIFY concern.
