34 year-old porn star Maxi Mounds was declared the record holder for the newly created “largest augmented breasts” category by the Guinness Book of World Records. Ms. Mounds first asked Guinness in 2003 if they would consider adding the category as she would be a “natural” front-runner. They informed her this year that the category was created and that she would be the winner based on her measurements, which are 60.5 inches when her chest is measured across the nipples.

Ms. Mounds’ breasts were created using a procedure that was banned in the EU and America in 2001. She had propylene string implanted in her breasts, which results in bodily fluids being released as the string irritates the tissue. The breasts can grow to such cartoonish sizes because the fluids keep building up.

Mounds started out as a lap dancer in the 1990s. She said she first had silicone, then saline implants, and finally the string implants, which she had in 2000. Eight years later and it looks like she must have severe health problems and a sore back. Her breasts now weight 20 pounds each and she wears a size 36MMM bra. I thought that Christina Aguilera’s breasts looked painful and sore. This is just outrageous.
