Yes, I’m picturing her bra as two pointed white hoods with eye holes cut out in them. Sorta like those cone bras Madonna was wearing. Perhaps if she lies on her back with a torch in each hand, she can be a one person Klan meeting… ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > A question for the guys: Is that really appealing? She’s got a nice face. But I prefer women with breasts that are: (1) On the small side, rather than too large, and (2) Natural. So she would not interest me. ---

A while back, there was a stripper named Europe DeSchon (sp?) on the breast bar circuit. I saw her pictures in some friends’ lockers. For a few bucks, her assistant Emerson Bigguns would take a Polaroid of a customer smiling from between Europe’s alps. I don’t know if she claimed to have the world’s biggest pair, but they were massive. I think she was the one who was sued by a bar patron, who claimed he was seriously injured when she playfully smacked him upside the head with one of her girls.:smack: ---

I’m going to step out on the ledge here and defend Sheyla. Not only that, I’ll come forward and say that I think she’s awesomely hot, even moreso when she had these implants. First, a word about the law: as I understand it, getting huge boobs is not illegal in Texas; implants over a certain volume (although I’ll confess ignorance as to just what that limit is) are, though. There was an alternative, experimental procedure that resulted in a cadre of extremely busty patients, many of whom were (and still are) big-bust performers and models. Among these “string implant” recipients is the current Guinness Book of World Records title holder for enhanced breasts, Maxi Mounds (not her given name, clearly). Another is Chelsea Charms, who probably has Maxi beat both in absolute volume and circumference. These ladies need to have the fluid their body produces in response to the string (which is the bulk of their “implant”) drained occasionally to maintain a constant, manageable size. I’m pretty confident these ladies have the largest fake ones in the world. Sheyla, though, has conventional implants, and has caused a stir in the community of big-bust enthusiasts in the past few days as a result of this story. As we had understood, this latest bump up in size happened several months ago, and had since been reversed (that is, her implants removed) because she got pregnant unexpectedly. And not to stir up trouble, but I’m a touch surprised that a community that is so accepting of other body modifications, be they piercings, tattoos, or gender reassignment can be so negative and judgmental in this case. Is it only in cases where the individual alters their body in a way that has been traditionally frowned upon that we support them? If the change seems crass or appeals to desires that might appear to our eyes déclassé, do we turn our noses up? Toying with hormones and altering genitals seems to me far more radical than essentially stuffing balloons down your shirt. She’s become who she wants to be. That does not make her nuts. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion of beauty, but a bit of perspective wouldn’t hurt. ---

What the fuck, where does that limit even come from? Some Texas legislator thought to himself “sure, triple-F is fine, but beyond that would just be weird”? I think the restriction is on the amount of silicone that can be used. Makes me wonder what she would have wound up with if she’d started with more. I don’t exactly know how that works. ---

I don’t exactly know how that works. Volume or size, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just that the limit seems both arbitrary and extreme. “This is the third reading of House Resolution 36, governing the maximum allowable size for breast implants. What do you think, eight pints? \<_gavel_\> Eight pints it is.” ---

What do you think, eight pints? \<_gavel_\> Eight pints it is.” I would pay to see that debate. Sadly, it was probably conjured up by some doctor advising a subcommittee on cosmetic surgery standards, referred for inclusion in an omnibus bill, buried deep in a rarely-referenced appendix, thus robbing us of the opportunity to hear the Honorable Representative from Grand Prairie get all red when he had to say the word “breast” on the record. ---

What do you think, eight pints? \<_gavel_\> Eight pints it is.” Is that US pints, or UK pub pints, which are required to be bigger? The idea of a regulated breast standard reminds me of last Halloween. The “fun size” candy bars were smaller than the previous year’s “fun size.” What regulator decided it took less chocolate to generate fun? Can we see the test results on that? Was the Texas Breast Standard based on fun? I don’t think the legislators have met Sheyla. She looks like a fun gal!😛 ---
