WITH a combined weight of 9st, Annie Hawkins-Smith\u2019s huge boobs have secured her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.<\/p>\n

But despite enduring years of funny looks and snide remarks, the 65-year-old insists she\u2019s living her \u2018breast\u2019 life \u2013 with no plans to reduce her enormous 107ZZZ bosom.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun, mum-of-two Annie \u2013 who goes by the namesake Norma Stitz, an anagram of enormous t*** \u2013 says her\u00a0boobs\u00a0have made her millions over the past 30 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like an all-natural\u00a0Katie Price,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never considered a breast reduction. I constantly get boob-shamed by women who\u00a0think they have the right to be shocked by my totally real breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome call them disgusting and question why I don\u2019t have them reduced, but I don\u2019t care what they say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know women can be mean \u2013 they\u2019re just jealous.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy breasts have paid for two houses, my children\u2019s education and overseas trips. I\u2019m blessed to have them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie, from Atlanta, Georgia, began developing breasts at age five, and by nine they were already 36D, and cruel classmates dubbed her \u2018whale boobs\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a teenager I struggled with the fact that my breasts just kept growing,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Annie was diagnosed with a condition that causes her breasts to continue to grow<\/span>Credit: Supplied<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI was diagnosed with gigantomastia, a condition that involves slow progressive growth of breast tissue, which is why my breasts continue to grow even today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gigantomastia is rare with only a few hundred cases reported, and the exact cause is unknown.<\/p>\n

It usually happens around puberty, with genetics and an increased sensitivity to female hormones,\u00a0<\/strong>like prolactin or oestrogen, thought to play a role.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 12, men in their twenties were asking me out thinking I was their age because of my breasts,\u201d Annie continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started dating at 16 but I never knew if they wanted me for me or my breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always popular but worried the boys wanted to say they\u2019d slept with the big boob girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was Annie\u2019s late husband, former air force officer Alan Turner, who encouraged her to turn her breasts into a business.<\/p>\n

Annie, who is mum to Clara, 33, an insurance broker and Darius, 36, a warehouse manager, said: \u201cWe met in 1991 \u2013 I was on benefits waiting at a bus stop with the kids, and he stopped and offered me a lift.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe turned out to be the love of my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlan told me I was beautiful and my breasts were magnificent. He really boosted my confidence and treated me and the kids like royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

After dating for five years they married in August 1997.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She set up a website and made \u00a320,000 in her first year, charging men to log on and admire her chest.<\/p>\n

Within months she had over a million subscribers, and she was awarded the accolade of having the world\u2019s biggest natural breasts in 2000.<\/p>\n

Annie credits her success to Alan and says without him she would not have achieved the career she has.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband taught me to ignore the boob-shamers and trolls,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Allan tragically died of lung cancer in 2005, but made Annie promise she would keep up her business.<\/p>\n

And she has honoured his wishes; this year she\u2019s celebrating three decades since she turned her enormous boobs into a million pound enterprise.<\/p>\n

Annie said 15 per cent of her fans are Brits, and claims she gets marriage proposals almost daily \u2013 but no one comes close to Alan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I travel to conventions or do appearances I have a boob bodyguard and often get mobbed by fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritish fans send me flowers, clothes, even a rowing machine for me to use to stay fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she\u2019s cashed in on her boobs, they do make day-to-day tasks challenging.<\/p>\n

Annie said she can only walk up and down stairs sideways because her breasts are so large they can cause her to topple over.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have hit the deck a few times because I am so heavy,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see my shoes over my breasts and have to bend over and push one breast to one side to put on my heels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only have sex lying on my side due to the size and weight of my breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also have to roll onto my breasts in bed to get up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a special car seat and seatbelt for my truck. I drive and push the seat right back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go to the supermarket my breasts often make it hard to push a trolley.\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie says she wouldn\u2019t have a reduction as she doesn\u2019t want to mess with nature<\/span>Credit: Supplied<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Annie said her boobs continue to grow every year and her GP tells her she should have a reduction, but she refuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to mess with nature,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs my breasts grew the muscles in my back developed to support them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are part of me, and no troll will make me have a reduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy business has put my kids through college, and I live in a \u00a3235,000 three-bedroom home mortgage free.<\/p>\n

\u201cI travel the world and I am my own boss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

To support her chest, Annie layers up with super-sized stretchy tops.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wear them on special occasions,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re double-lined with a super strong fabric, with specialist corseting and have 12 hooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey get my girls looking super perky.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also love wearing bikini tops and fans love seeing me in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie is also celebrating graduating from Strayer University in the US with a master\u2019s degree in marketing management.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s since set up a business helping men and women all over the world market their businesses.<\/p>\n

But her boobs remain her breast asset.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been body shamed all my life but I have had the last laugh,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the trolls, I feel sorry for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
