What the hell ever happened to her?  Did she ever get her implants removed, and move back to Michigan to marry some guy as she was crying about on the Povich show?  Or did she succumb to the "evil" of the industry and keep her boobs for a few more big paydays?  Anyone have an idea?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Tawney passed away about 2 years ago.

[MrHHH]

Eh? Dead?!

The last I saw of her was when she was on some public talk show, Jenny Jones or something.

They paid for her reduction surgery and she had a big sob story about how horrible it was to have such big boobs and her old boyfriend made her do it.

She's probably alive somewhere, bitching and moaning still. But now that she's gotten reduced, she's dead to the BE crowd.

What I remember...yes, Tawny moved back home, leaving the stripper business for the standard reasons. She hoped to open a hairdressing salon(?)

She has a son with Downe's Syndrome or some other disability.

Don't know about the boyfriend...I've heard that about Candy Cantaloupes, though.

There's a pretty good newspaper article on her (although its 3 years old now) at http://www.diamond-dolls.com/times2.html

SC raises a BIGGER CURIOSITY - What ever happened to CANDY CANTALOPES ? I heard she got married to some moneyman in New York, got reduced and he dumped her. She was EXCEPTIONAL.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Man, Candy Cantaloupes was one in a million. A simply breath takingly beautiful big bust starlet. Sadly, she absolutely hated being a big bust starlet. She constantly whined to anyone that would listen that she got her implants only because her ex-boyfriend somehow tricked her into it (How do you trick someone into getting major cosmetic surgery?) and she couldn't stand being looked at and fondled by strange men when she would go on tour. But that didn't stop her from starring in hardcore sex scenes in Boobarella, one of the most successful  big breasts porn movies of all time. Last I heard, which was a few years back, she had had reduction surgery and was planning on returning to school and studying to become a marine biologist. Joey Carson and Lolo are the top heavy strippers who died recently.

Tawny Peaks reason for retiring surprised me. I always got the impression from her that she enjoyed showing of her superstructure body and enjoyed the attention it brought her. Guess I was wrong. I imagine all the tongue-in-cheek media attention she got from that lawsuit the chucklehead who claimed she gave him whiplash after she playfully slapped him in the face with her boobs filed against her was the final straw for her. There was a time for like three weeks straight she was constantly the butt of jokes on television and radio. That had to be hard to take.

I was fortunate to see Tawney Peaks in person at New York Dolls in Manhattan after work about 7-8 years ago. She was very short as I recall (about 5ft). I remember talking to her as she was sitting in my lap posing for the polaroid. She placed my hands on her breasts - and I was shocked that I had never felt breasts that were so large and amazingly firm. She was very nice in person. She is missed on the feature dance circuit. Her pictures are posted all over the net for posterity.

I can remember vaguely that episode of Maury Povich. She looked so pretty. Make-up ,hair just right. Then they start to tell her story. She's crying a lot. She says it was so awful the things she had to do, blah blah . She didn't like the life style. She found God again or something. She was really a good girl. All the bad things were punishment from above. So the only way to be happy was a reduction. Get rid of those trouble making boobs. Her moms with her all this time for support. I think she was the instagator. They end the show with her walking into some clinic for the operation. I am thinking the whole time. NO DON'T DO IT ! THIS IS STUPID! A REDUCTION WON'T CURE ANYTHING ! YOUR A WONDERFUL GIRL ! I'm hoping the next show shows she had changed her mind. But the bastards never followed up on it. So it was never ever really finshed.

  Oh yeah. She was short but she was built just right. I never knew she had implants. And I have a couple those old Score videos too. I was even suckered into joining her web site. If it was hers. But it never changed so I left. They still kept up she was running it even after that Maury Show.  Then I don't know anything after that.

I had the good fortune of meeting Tawny around 7 or 8 years ago at one of her shows.  She is much prettier in person.  The two things I will always remember about her is her dynamite smile, and her perfect proportions.  What I mean by that is she is very short (Barely 5"0, as she told me), but stacked as all get out.  A small frame with a huge chest has a quality all it's own.

I think she had one of the most perfect racks of all time in that her breasts were just the right size that they could possibly be passed off in public as real (Assumed she's dressed right).  Gigantic, yes.  But let's face it - I love Chelsea's size too, but who among us hasn't asked ourselves who they would most like to be seen with IN PUBLIC?  Tawny has often come up as the answer to that one in my mind.  She was bigger than anyone you might see walking down the street, but she didn't look freakish either.

Tawny, It was a pleasure to meet you.  I wish you well, wherever you are.

I remember meeting Tawny back in 1993.  She was dancing at a club in the suburbs of Detroit called the Landing Strip (She was from Grosse Pointe, MI). She was fun to speak with.  She told me of her son she had with her boyfriend.  He had some disability (physical, not mental) and was receiving state aid.  She was just becoming a feature at that point. I was interested in getting into booking feature dancers, as the money was great back then. I spoke to her about representing her and how others would get into the business.  She had just done a shoot for Score at the time as well. I remember her real first name was Michele (mish-a-lay) and that her last name was greek.  I think she was greek and italian. No matter, just more background. I think she was a sweetie and wish her all the best.  I have not seen her since.

I do remember her on People's Court (with Wapner) concerning the case where she hurt the guy with her breasts.  He was made fun of by Wapner but did win, as I recall.  I also remember the Maury show where she was on with her mom.  

In any case, I wish her well and hope she has a fine son who is growing up healthy.

We met Tawney at Private Eyes here in NY the night she found out she was being sued by that moron.  She was nothing short of delightful, and very freindly. Although we miss her, there are few things as tragic as a feature that isnt happy with that lifestyle. We hope she is doing well because she has a great heart.
