Now That’s What I Call Room Service!

Police in America are investigating the death of a 20-year-old British woman who had a silicone injection into her buttocks at a hotel in Philadelphia.
Wha..?
Detectives say the woman and three companions had travelled from London and were staying at the Hampton Inn, close to the city's airport.

The woman, who has not been named, had the procedure on Monday while one of her travelling companions had a hip augmentation.
Mind you, a Philadephia hotel room is probably cleaner than an NHS hospital…
In 2009 the former Miss Argentina died following complications from a gluteoplasty procedure in Buenos Aires. Solange Magnano, 38, died from a pulmonary embolism when silicone injected into her buttocks entered her lungs and brain.
I can see how the lung complication could be a problem, but the brain..? Surely anyone who opts for a medical procedure in a hotel room isn’t likely to have been using that in the first place?

As Richard points out, this is yet another totally unnecessary beauty industry fad. Where do they come from?

It seems at least part of the answer is celebrities. And popular music culture.

    she's of "Nigerian descent" in other words a memeber of a family of illegals who have been granted leave to stay because deporting them is too much hassle.
    Still, one less to pay for.

    Terrible. This down market cosmetic surgery is medical execration, Julia.

    One of those Nigerian clinics recently opened shop in the back of Huddersfield Mission but it only caters for bums.

    A grisly reminder of the old joke about Harold Wilson having an arse transplant. It rejected him.

    I've just spotted a very appropriate headline which the All Seeing Eye has screen captured:

    "Butt probed...."

    She's lucky she didn't get a "Hampton" injected between her buttocks ...

    The British Embassy have confirmed that the dead woman (who uses 2 different surnames)isn't a British citizen. However, given that the same Embassy lobbied on behalf of 'British residents' incarcerated in Guantanamo, they must be hoping (fat chance!)that her relatives won't behave as if a precedent has been set, and perhaps seek 'consular assistance' in 'repatriating' her remains.

    Damn! Now I have cornflakes all over my keyboard! :)

    "I've just spotted a very appropriate headline which the All Seeing Eye has screen captured..."

    LOL!

    "The British Embassy have confirmed that the dead woman (who uses 2 different surnames)isn't a British citizen."

    Really? They were still referring to her as British yesterday afternoon...

    She was a right boiler. If she were going for cosmetic surgery the other end would've been where I'd've started. Oh, and she wanted to be a 'hip-hop star'. Because along with ambulance-chasing lawyers, kiddie-fiddlers and Cheryl Cole, that's exactly what the world needs more of.
