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.
