14 DAY TRIAL // A short while ago, a former dancer and mother of 2 going by the name of Vanity Wonder, made headlines for the promise to lift the lid off the glamor of silicone injections for a more generous backside, the black market variety. Below is a video of her doing just that.
30-year-old Wonder sat down for an interview for ITV's This Morning to talk about her experience with silicone injections and how grateful she is she's still alive to tell the story.
After spending $15,000 (€12,215) on her curvy posterior (she never saw a licensed practitioner, mind you), and nearly ending up in jail, Wonder is using her experience to warn young women thinking of getting injections.
“Shot Girl” is a book she's written based on her 5-year addiction to black market injections – and she's promoting it by dishing all the details on how they were administered, how she got started, and how she'd make sure she wasn't “leaking” when she was at work, dancing.
It's pretty heavy stuff, so perhaps you should skip the video if you're feeling particularly queasy today.
“When I heard about [backside] injections I thought it sounded stupid but after a year in that environment as a dancer, everyone was doing it, it wasn't such a foreign concept. I thought I might as well try it,” Vanity says.
“Then it became a competition – not for men but against other women. So many of us were doing it because we wanted to look better than the other person,” she adds.
In a short while, she was getting over 100 injections per cheek to try and mask the bumps left over by previous interventions.
Vanity says that, many times, she didn't even know what she was being pumped full of, but could only hope it was silicone as she was promised.
“It did become addictive but it got infected so I was left with lumps. So I had a choice, I could have a medium-sized lumpy [backside] or keep padding it with silicone to make it better. So it wasn't my goal to get this big but padding it with silicone is how this happened,” she explains.
To prevent “leaking” shortly after getting a new round of injections, Vanity would apply superglue and then a cotton ball, which she wouldn't remove for hours, to allow time for a scab to appear.
She'd like people to know the real story because only this way they can make an informed decision: never choose the cheaper and riskier alternative.
“I wanted to tell the truth 100 per cent so people know what it really is. You can get implants, but injections made freely into your [backside] is not legal in any sense of the word,” she says.
