Reader Jonesy found this article in yesterday's Washington Post. A ballerina named "Alice Alyse" claims she was fired from the national touring company of "Movin' Out" (a musical based on the songs of Billy Joel) because her breasts grew too big. During medical leave as a result of a foot injury, the 29-year-old's bust increased a cup size - from "C" to "D". The Post reporter called several doctors asking how such a thing could happen in a post-pubescent, non-pregnant woman. Only one would comment and his answer is a little hokey:
Angelo Cuzalina, a cosmetic surgeon specializing in breast augmentation at Tulsa Surgical Arts, said that once Alyse became injured and stopped dancing, her muscle mass may have decreased while her fatty mass increased, "and that fat could go to her breasts." He added that he had never actually encountered such a case.
My theory is that the magic of Billy Joel's music caused her breasts to grow: "Bottle of red, bottle of white, suddenly my bra has grown too tight!"
Alyse's attorney is Larry Klayman, who some of you may remember from the Clinton years.
