The Best Thing I Ever Won

I was born with big ears; they stuck out a lot, as you can see. When I was little I had to wear my hair long, rarely pulled it up into a pony or pigtails because kids are mean. When I did cut it short, it still had to cover my ears, which was really hard, because usually they would wind up poking out of my hair. I eventually sort of grew into my ears, the head grew, the ears stayed about the same size, but they still stuck out.

There was a shock jock radio guy the T-man in Seattle, and he had this competition called “Boob Camp” where he would have really flat chested girls play games to win a boob job. On this particular year, he offered a boob job to the flatties, and a secondary surgery to someone else.

I went in to the studio for a short on-air interview, he had a habit of berating women, but he was pretty nice to me that day. I was up against 3 liposuctions and a nose job.

They put our pictures on the internet, and people had to vote on who they thought needed the surgery. 

The girl in second place got somewhere around 2500 votes, she really needed lipo on her thighs, and I would have been very happy for her if she would have won, she was a really sweet girl, you could tell she worked out like crazy but she had ginormous hereditary thighs.

I got over 3000 votes, thanks in part to my sister and the military. She emailed her friends across the world and asked them to vote and get other people to vote, and I won!

That was about 10 years ago, and I still love my new ears.
