WITH a combined weight of 9st, Annie Hawkins-Smith’s huge boobs have secured her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
But despite enduring years of funny looks and snide remarks, the 65-year-old insists she’s living her ‘breast’ life – with no plans to reduce her enormous 107ZZZ bosom.
Speaking to The Sun, mum-of-two Annie – who goes by the namesake Norma Stitz, an anagram of enormous t*** – says her boobs have made her millions over the past 30 years.
“I’m like an all-natural Katie Price,” she says.
“I have never considered a breast reduction. I constantly get boob-shamed by women who think they have the right to be shocked by my totally real breasts.
“Some call them disgusting and question why I don’t have them reduced, but I don’t care what they say.
“I know women can be mean – they’re just jealous.
“My breasts have paid for two houses, my children’s education and overseas trips. I’m blessed to have them.”
Annie, from Atlanta, Georgia, began developing breasts at age five, and by nine they were already 36D, and cruel classmates dubbed her ‘whale boobs’.
“When I was a teenager I struggled with the fact that my breasts just kept growing,” she recalled.
“I was diagnosed with gigantomastia, a condition that involves slow progressive growth of breast tissue, which is why my breasts continue to grow even today.”
Gigantomastia is rare with only a few hundred cases reported, and the exact cause is unknown.
It usually happens around puberty, with genetics and an increased sensitivity to female hormones, like prolactin or oestrogen, thought to play a role.
“When I was 12, men in their twenties were asking me out thinking I was their age because of my breasts,” Annie continued.
“I started dating at 16 but I never knew if they wanted me for me or my breasts.
“I was always popular but worried the boys wanted to say they’d slept with the big boob girl.”
It was Annie’s late husband, former air force officer Alan Turner, who encouraged her to turn her breasts into a business.
Annie, who is mum to Clara, 33, an insurance broker and Darius, 36, a warehouse manager, said: “We met in 1991 – I was on benefits waiting at a bus stop with the kids, and he stopped and offered me a lift.
“He turned out to be the love of my life.
“Alan told me I was beautiful and my breasts were magnificent. He really boosted my confidence and treated me and the kids like royalty.”
After dating for five years they married in August 1997.
Alan encouraged Annie, who is 5ft 6in and weighs 22st, to send some pictures to a specialist magazine which featured women with large breasts, and she claims she was inundated with requests.
She set up a website and made £20,000 in her first year, charging men to log on and admire her chest.
Within months she had over a million subscribers, and she was awarded the accolade of having the world’s biggest natural breasts in 2000.
Annie credits her success to Alan and says without him she would not have achieved the career she has.
“My husband taught me to ignore the boob-shamers and trolls,” she said.
Allan tragically died of lung cancer in 2005, but made Annie promise she would keep up her business.
And she has honoured his wishes; this year she’s celebrating three decades since she turned her enormous boobs into a million pound enterprise.
Annie said 15 per cent of her fans are Brits, and claims she gets marriage proposals almost daily – but no one comes close to Alan.
“I was at a DIY store last week buying tools to renovate my house and a man offered to pay for everything because he thought I was amazing. It happens all the time,” she said.
“When I travel to conventions or do appearances I have a boob bodyguard and often get mobbed by fans.
“British fans send me flowers, clothes, even a rowing machine for me to use to stay fit.
“I have so many fans in the UK that still write to me after 30 years. My British fans are some of the most dedicated of my followers.”
While she’s cashed in on her boobs, they do make day-to-day tasks challenging.
Annie said she can only walk up and down stairs sideways because her breasts are so large they can cause her to topple over.
“I have hit the deck a few times because I am so heavy,” she admitted.
“I can’t see my shoes over my breasts and have to bend over and push one breast to one side to put on my heels.
“I can only have sex lying on my side due to the size and weight of my breasts.
“I also have to roll onto my breasts in bed to get up.
“I have a special car seat and seatbelt for my truck. I drive and push the seat right back.
“When I go to the supermarket my breasts often make it hard to push a trolley.”
Annie said her boobs continue to grow every year and her GP tells her she should have a reduction, but she refuses.
“I don’t want to mess with nature,” she said.
“As my breasts grew the muscles in my back developed to support them.
“They are part of me, and no troll will make me have a reduction.
“My business has put my kids through college, and I live in a £235,000 three-bedroom home mortgage free.
“I travel the world and I am my own boss.
“I also get dozens of emails and messages from women each week asking for advice about coping with big boobs, and telling me I have inspired them to be proud of their breasts.”
To support her chest, Annie layers up with super-sized stretchy tops.
She also has two bras that were specially made for her by a New York underwear expert in 2012, which took six months to craft.
“I wear them on special occasions,” she said. “They’re double-lined with a super strong fabric, with specialist corseting and have 12 hooks.
“They get my girls looking super perky.
“I also love wearing bikini tops and fans love seeing me in them.”
Annie is also celebrating graduating from Strayer University in the US with a master’s degree in marketing management.
She’s since set up a business helping men and women all over the world market their businesses.
But her boobs remain her breast asset.
“I have been body shamed all my life but I have had the last laugh,” she said.
“As for the trolls, I feel sorry for them.”
