Stripper Selling Infamous Breast Implant on eBay

�_Technology - Reuters Internet Report

MIAMI (Reuters) - A former topless dancer who was famously cleared of battering a Florida nightclub patron with her "crazy big" breasts has shed her oversized silicone implants and put one of them up for auction on eBay.

The woman known professionally as Tawny Peaks said on Wednesday she recently came across the implants in a box in her closet after watching a television discussion about crazy things sold on eBay and decided, "Why not ... I don't need it any more."

"Somebody might bid on it. It's like the first boob to be sued over in a lawsuit," she said.

Peaks said she would autograph the auctioned implant for the winner but would keep its mate "for good measure."

She explained that she had her size 69-HH implants removed and underwent breast reduction surgery in 1999 after retiring from the business to start a new life.

"They were like really big, crazy big," said Peaks, who described herself as a happily married homemaker and mother of three now living in the Detroit area.

Peaks won notoriety in 1998 when a man sued her and her employer, the Diamond Dolls nightclub in Clearwater, Florida, saying he suffered a whiplash injury when she swung her breasts into his face at a bachelor party. He said they were "like two cement blocks."

The parties accepted binding arbitration on "The People's Court" television show and the judge, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, ordered a female bailiff to examine Peaks in private.

The bailiff found the breasts to be "soft" and to weigh about 2 pounds (0.9 kg) each. Koch ruled they were not dangerous and refused to award damages.

The implant auction ends on Saturday. So far Peaks has received 10 bids, topping out at $71, according to the eBay Web site.

Yes, I know, you want pix. Well, I just hope you all appreciate how difficult it was to find an image that was family-friendly (sort of).

You don't think they're real silicone breast implants? Do you suspect they're actually made from playdough (or however you write that)?

Lmao.

Who's really going to buy one boob implant? One implant is just a bag of silicone for all anyone cares. You got to have two unless you want some sort of uniboob or third boob.

But it's historic - first fake boob to have been described as a deadly weapon in a lawsuit!

For that price, it should come as a complete set you would think! Ah well.

LOL - considering the fact that the "original" implants were used to create a HH (wtf??) cup size, one jello-o boobie might actually be sufficient to "help out" a whole bunch of women. It's a charity auction! Donate one implant, help dozens of women!!

Ever since I saw the Robin Williams special on HBO, I can no longer read about fake boobies and not think of his line ... (female voice:) "Honey, I'd like you to get your balls done for me."

MIAMI (Reuters) - A former stripper once cleared of battering a customer with her enormous breasts sold one of her silicone implants on eBay to the same company that recently bought a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary.

Internet casino company GoldenPalace.com won the bid for the infamous implant at $16,766 on Saturday, according to the eBay Web site and the seller, known professionally as Tawny Peaks. She advertised a 69-HH bra size before her implants were removed in 1999.

There was no word yet on what the online gambling company planned to do with the implant.
