Greetings fellow Bizarros:

We have seen this kind of story in Bizarre News before. But apparently there are still people out there who think it is safe to get cosmetic medical procedures done in somebody's basement.

This incident happened in Philadelphia where a transgender woman nicknamed the "Black Madam" has been ordered held for trial, charged with illegal butt-enhancement procedures.

Bail was kept at $750,000 for Padge Victoria Windslowe, 42. She faces charges of aggravated assault. At the hearing, an exotic dancer said she paid Windslowe $1,000 each for four injections of silicone in her rear end.

She said she got the first on New Year's Eve 2010 when another dancer, nicknamed "Back Shots," hosted a party for the procedures. Three months ago, the dancer said she got another shot even though a woman who traveled from Britain to Philadelphia for the procedure had died. She said Windslowe told her the dead woman had been on cocaine when she had the procedure and did not drink enough water afterwards. And everybody should know that cocaine and silicone don't mix.

Investigators say Windslowe injected silicone and then used glue and cotton balls to close the wounds.

Sounds safe to me.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

------- Finger found in Arby's sandwich -------

Michigan -- A Michigan couple said their family will no longer be eating fast food after the woman's 14-year-old son found a piece of a human finger in his Arby's sandwich. Jamie Vail and Joe Wheaton said the woman's son, Ryan Hart, discovered the finger fragment when he bit into his Arby's junior roast beef sandwich at the Jackson restaurant and spit the object out to identify it as a piece of finger. Jackson Police and the Jackson County Health Department determined a worker had cut her finger on a meat slicer at the restaurant moments prior to the incident. Steve Hall, environmental health director for the Jackson County Health Department, said he believes other workers stepped in to the woman's station without being aware of what had taken place. Vail said she has obtained a lawyer but has not yet decided on a course of action. Wheaton said the long-term consequences of the incident are clear. "We don't eat fast food no more," Wheaton said.

In a back alley I fear a 4 foot 2 woman with a gun and permit as much as I fear a 6 foot line backer with a baseball bat. However given the choice which one would you rather meet in that same back alley? It is all perspective baby. -John
[I gave up meeting women in back alleys after I got married.]


Your comment to 'BEAR' about kids being stupid just shows how ignorant you are concerning children.
[Not quite. I have raised three sons. All of them went to college. I know plenty about kids, especially how dumb they can be. That is why they need parents to educate them.]


Lewis, About those erotic chocolates at that Australian middle school.... by having the kids eat them, it's just those crazy Aussie's way of teaching oral sex! -BB
