The Dirigible Dozen: Up, Up, and Away in (and out of) Their Bountiful Brassieres . . .

The Adventures of Balloon Boy all over the news this week got Mr. Skin thinking of some famous funbags that have been hyper-amplified to the point(s) that it’s a wonder how the women to which they’re attached don’t take flight.

While we here at Mr. Skin prefer the female anatomy all natural—as well as au naturel—the prevalence of plastic surgery in show business means that accepting augmented appendages is just another aspect of being a celebrity skin devotee.

So if you’re going to pump up the mams, starlets, why not expand those glands to the point of impossible exaggeration? The following enormously implanted ingenudes make two huge cases at a time that while Hollywood hills are great, towering Tinseltown Himalayas have their place as well.


1. CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Pre-Liftoff: After a shared stint as the 1990s Mousekateers on MMC, Christina competed with Britney Spears to become our preeminent pop tart of the turn (on) of the century. While Brit went into crack-up mode, Christina opted for a multi-cup increase up front, lending more credence to those who always maintained that, to begin with, she always had the more powerful lungs of the pair.

Upward, Ho!: Christina’s early music videos and Rolling Stone covers showcase a rail-thin chanteuse who could barely dent a training bra. Come the new millennium, Xtina astoundingly emerged as a triple-D diva.

Top(less) Gravity-Defying Moment: Diary (2002)
At the height of her sexified phase while pushing the album Stripped and its hit single “Dirrty”, Christina did, in fact, strip on this MTV documentary series. Strategically placed strands of hair covered her nipple rings—most of the time. Eagle-eyed tit technicians at the Mr. Skin Labs caught Christina’s historic flesh flash and have preserved it for posterity.

See the rest of the list after the jump.

As We Count Down to the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22nd, Mr Skin Pays Tribute to the Twenty Actresses Who Took Home Oscar Gold for Films in Which They Flashed Flesh

Yesterday we gave praise to Helen Hunt, who took home the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1998. That year, for the first time in movie-nudity history, both actresses who sashayed up to the podium to accept an Academy Award had dropped their duds for their winning performance. Taking home the honors for Best Actress in a Supporting Role that year was Kim Basinger, who won for L.A. Confidential. The film ranks near the bottom of Kim's nude résumé, but only because it contains just a sliver of Kim's bottom. But delve into this Oscar-winning beauty's skinography, and you'll understand why the members of the Academy stood up ad saluted her.

Each Tuesday, be sure to check in with Mr. Skin to get the complete skinny right here on the hottest DVD releases. Here is the randy round-up for the week of September 23, 2008.

Kevin Bacon-that heroic man of a million connections-has enjoyed an appropriately abundant array of Oscar-winning starlets. We link them up.
