Atlanta butt injector 'almost killed' a Baltimore stripper

Entrepreneurialism gone wrong

Do you want to make more money? Sure. We all do. Today, Atlanta entrepreneur Kimberly Smedley shared the inspiring story of how she made upward of $200,000 traveling to hotels across the country and injecting the rear ends of insufficiently endowed strippers with commercial-grade silicone, then plugging up the holes with super glue.

WHAT A SUCCESS. Oh, I'm just kidding. Smedley pleaded guilty in a Baltimore federal courtroom today to "transporting misbranded medicine across state lines" and spending eight years performing the illegal and really dangerous injections.

Commercial grade silicone is not supposed to go into human bodies. It's supposed to be used to polish furniture and stuff like that. In the incident that led to Smedley's October arrest, she administered 18 shots of the stuff to a Baltimore exotic dancer's butt cheeks. The woman fell ill when the silicone seeped into her lungs, causing her to experience pneumonia-like symptoms. "You almost killed me," the dancer said in a text she sent to Smedley.

Prosecutors say she performed similar procedures on women in Washington, New York, Detroit and Philadelphia — but not Atlanta? — and faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Should've gone with that at-home degree in TV/VCR repair instead, girlfriend.
