RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - Armed bandits in Brazil robbed a vehicle carrying more than 400 breast implants, officials said on Tuesday.
"It happened last week, but we only learned about it recently as our clients started complaining. It is the hottest period of the year in terms of implant sales," said Margaret Figueiredo, director of silicone implant manufacturer Silimed.
A spokesman for the state Postal Service confirmed that assailants, apparently men, robbed the postal van with implants on Thursday night in Rio de Janeiro. Each Silimed breast implant costs nearly $400.
The popularity of Brazil's plastic surgery pioneer and trendsetter Ivo Pitanguy, whose clients include celebrities like Sophia Loren, has made the tropical country one of the leading international nip and tuck venues.
Figueiredo explained demand is the highest in July, during the southern hemisphere winter, as women schedule surgery during the winter school holidays, which precede the beach season.
Figueiredo said the implants, each bearing an individual number, could now only be sold for clandestine surgeries. Horrific stories abound in Brazil about the illegal operations that can cause gangrene and death.
Years of experience, and lots of power to break a nose!!
One of the guys is nicknames Boob, and he is not the one who got his nose broken.
What will you give me if I promise not to post that again!?
;-)
I keep thinking.....
Like the old cartoon. The old ladies walk past a guy with a "Show me your tits" T-shirt. They both lift their skirts!!
Well oiled VCR's prevent me from missing any of it!
Christy got tossed on her butt last Monday. Doubtful she was happy about it. But the amazing thing was she didn't even have a wardrobe malfunction!! No peekaboo, nothing!! :-(
*in zen master voice*
"Power THROUGH the hit, feel the strength of the mountain, but be mobile like the reeds! Your target is not on the surface of your opponent, but on the other side, THAT is the true secret of successful first strike!"
Do you watch the wrestling too, otr just the girls?
Been privy to a few boob beatings, have you?
Best hiking trip ever.
Actually the girls and the "who hates who this week" soap opera dialog. The bar fight instructional matches are gettin too teadious to watch.
But things haven't been the same without Rhakishi giving everyone the "stink face". LOL!!!
I am very upset! I thought Sophia Loren did not have plastic surgery, that she wanted to age gracefully! What a let down!
"What would someone want with 400 thefted breast implants?"
In places like Brazil, it's usually the backside that's
so popular. Maybe they stole the wrong implants? ;-)
OMG.
J-Lo aircraft emergency aircraft landing cushions... and they're on the loose.
They would make some funny looking butt implants that is for sure.
Woohoo!
My post 95, a good example of I not make any no sense!
Type too fast?
Pile 'em up and sleep on them. {insert 'dirty pillows' joke here.}
Probably.
Thought moved faster than fingers.
And my typing lags further behind them...
