The Prodigal Boob Returns

There’s been a lot of grumbling here in the U.S. that the messianic era of change promised by the current administration has proven to be a bust. But yesterday seldom sober Tara Reid showed the nation that change is still possible — and, coincidentally, it involved her bust.

For those who don’t remember, Tara infamously stole the spotlight at Sean Comb’s 2004 birthday party by absently letting a recently augmented and visibly scarred breast slip out, an event that immediately eclipsed everything else she had done since American Pie and transformed her from actress to cautionary tale and longtime object of ridicule.

A year later, she vowed in an interview with FHM that “my hooters are under control” and that “my boobs are going nowhere again”.

Four years after that, at yet another Sean Combs party (this time the “White Party”), Tara made another appearance ... and nothing happened.

How? you ask. Good ol’ American gumption: Her last Diddy ensemble required constant vigilance, such that even a sober Tara would have found it daunting to keep her Frankenboobs in the castle. So for her return to Diddyland, she wore a top that left nothing to chance, no matter how plastered she might get. Problem solved. The embarrassing lesson of 2004 was learned, and in 2009, Tara stands a wiser — if less photographed — woman.

Let the cynics and naysayers of our times take note: change is possible.
