Pinup model sues over breast surgery

An aspiring British pinup model who received a $7,400 taxpayer-funded breast enlargement is suing the country’s National Health Service, claiming her new boobs are too big. Josie Cunningham, 23, underwent surgery earlier this year after convincing a doctor that her flat chest was causing her emotional distress. But Cunningham now says the 36DD implants have turned her into a joke. “They’re so big I find them embarrassing, and I don’t feel I can do any modeling,” she said. Cunningham is demanding $15,000 in compensation for emotional distress.
