Yes, I'll admit it. You can't have a derriere as cute as mine without a little help. I like to be able to drop it like it's hot out on the dance floor so sue me. Big asses are hot, so I'm on fire. But if my ass were not big enough, I would not let somebody shoot me in the ass with silicone regardless if they have a license to do so.

SELMA, Alabama – The death of a 23-year-old Selma woman from a black-market butt injection was among the first to draw to international attention this week to the risks involved in the procedure.
News websites from as far away as The Daily Mail in London ran online and television news reports yesterday about the death of Selma-native Marilyn Hale, and several other women, after they received silicone injections to enhance their buttocks.

Hale, who most recently lived in Birmingham, died Jan. 18, 2010, at St. Vincent East Hospital, according to her obituary in The Selma Times-Journal.
A Mississippi floral and interior decorator with no medical training, Tracey Lynn Garner, 53 -- also known as Morris Garner --pled not guilty in June to Hale's death. No trial date has been set, according to news reports.
In September 2012, Garner also was arrested and charged in the March 2012 death of 37-year-old Karima Gordon of Atlanta. Garner's trial in that case is set that for March 17, 2014.
Authorities haven't said what substance Garner used, though industrial silicone has been used in other cases.
In addition to the Hale and Gordon's cases, deaths from black market buttocks injections have been reported in Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New York.
Doctors won't perform buttocks injections, but they do offer lifts and buttocks implants. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, doctors performed more than 3,700 of those legal procedures last year, generating more than $17 million.
The average fee for a legal buttocks implant is $4,670, according the organization.
Though there is little data on the procedures or injuries they cause, doctors and authorities say they are seeing them more often. Online forums used to set up the illegal procedures have attracted thousands of responses.
Some men also seek out buttocks enhancements, but the procedures are much more popular among women.
