Talk:Lolo Ferrari

message: How come two different years are given for her year of birth? Do we not know this for sure? Is it a matter of dispute? Dan100 20:55, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
"As a teenager, she obtained a few modelling jobs then in 1988 at age 17, she married Eric Vigne, a man 22 years her senior." If Lolo was born in 1962, then in 1988 wouldn't she have been about 26 years old?
:Web sources list three different dates.  The BBC listed her at 30 at ToD.  This puts her birth year at 1970, and the BBC is pretty reliable.  IMDb, another reliable source, lists her birth date as November 8.  Others list it as Februray 9.  If anyone has access to a better source (like medical records/birth certificates, then please advise).  Rklawton 20:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: She was put in the french singers category, but Lolo never sang. She was just a dancer.
She did indeed sing, or at least, released recordings. I guess you could say she was a singer, much as you could say that Quincy Jones is a singer :) Jalabi99 14:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello. I've just read about a "regimen of drugs" in the article. Careful. That word is a bit ambiguous! in the UK this means heroine, cocaine & friends; in the U. S. though, this stands for pharmacological products usually given by a doctor/psychologist/psychiatrist (rohypnol, etc.)(UK: pharmaceuticals).
What do you guys mean now? (I vote for pharma...) -andy 80.129.99.60 03:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Lolo Ferrari died during the early hours of Sunday, 5th March, 2000, the day following her 38th birthday, which means her birth and death dates should read (March 4, 1962 - March 5, 2000).  Due to the nature of her work, Lolo lied about her age using both February 9 and November 8 as her birthday. Her age was originally said to be 30 at the time of death but as her past was looked over due to the circumstances of her death, it became evident that she was a lot older.  The BBC reported her death on the Monday morning, hence the date on the BBC article being Monday, March 6, 2000.
by the way there reads  that she died from natural cause the finnish wikipedia says that she was choked 88.113.81.100 (talk) 12:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, I just registered and I've added something to the Lolo article. The porn stars who had the string implants should be disqualified due to the fact that they're now illegal and they continue to grow and since Lolo Ferrari had standard silicone implants, she should still be considered the woman with the largest surgically enhanced bust. I really wish people would stop undoing my work as it is not inaccurate or anything.
:Could you please explain that again? Why isn't a bust with string implants surgically enhanced? The fact that it is illegal in the US is of no importance. I think the statement is inaccurate and it should be removed (not doing it myself though, awaiting your explanation). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.227.26.232 (talk) 18:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Appearance section says:
:"Ferrari remains to this date the woman with the largest bust enhanced with standard silicone implants."
but Controversy section says:
:"Since Lolo's death, englishwoman Jack Fletcher has taken over the mantle of the world's largest bust, achieving a record 200 cm."

message: the article states that her bandsize is 54. This seems incredibly unlikely (as band size is essentially rib cage size, and she seems slim); is it verifiable? -- Katwin (talk) 21:42, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and no.  :-) I tried to look up that question, and found some sources and a Wikipedia article; see my changes. Yes, there is a source that said 54, there is also one that said 58, and in general brassiere measurements need to be taken with a serious grain of salt. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 23:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: In 2007, after a prolonged trial, Ferrari's husband, Eric Vigne, was cleared of wrongdoing in her death.  Her death was attributed, by a forensic medical expert, to a combination of impaired breathing and her own very heavy pill regimen, with some evidence of suicidal or risky overdose. http://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/le-mari-de-lolo-ferrari-innocente-20-02-2007-2007785345.php.

This is especially true in an article such as this one, where the subject of the article was murdered and there have been a long stream of insufficiently cited claims regarding the circumstances.  Xihr  08:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  It's not "censored."  It just has to be cited with reliable, third-party sources.  So far that hasn't been done, hence why the name is inappropriate to include here.  Xihr  17:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

text: And, of course, some fool changed her birthname in the infobox to "Joanna Martin." Huh? I fixed it. Most sources spell her surname as Valois. If anyone thinks that this incorrect, please switch it to Vallois. HillbillyProfane (talk) 16:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Guiness Book of Records 

message: Apparently I was wrong before, as Maxi Mounds now holds the record for largest augemented (my spelling is crap) breasts with a bust size of 42M. Apparently, string implants are apparently considered to be in the same class as silicone/saline. Not to mention, Maxi Mounds had hers done long before string implants became illegal in my many parts of the world. Look it up, it's around pages 70-75 in the book. Surprisingly, Lolo has an honorable mention, though her record for largest breast implants has been broken, she still holds the record for most breast enlargements (22, the first one being done around 1990 and 5 years later.)
I DO believe her month and day of birth is February the 9th. But I believe that she was born before 1968.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.97.199.49 (talk) 16:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I think - not only because someone who definitely suffered from the same psychic disease, Michael Jackson has followed her into heaven - that we should also name a reason why she felt the need to always enlarge her breasts more and more. Yes, there is a reason. It is a phenomenon well-accepted by the medecins and psychiatrists as Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a mental problem of man which doesn't ever let him/her give the impression of having the perfect body; that is why he/she always had to undergo new surgical treatments in the (desperate) strive for perfection in body and looks. -andy 92.229.161.247 (talk) 14:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Now the great part of Wikipedias around the world have the birth year in as 1963. IMDB too: http://french.imdb.com/name/nm0274097/ Just English Wikipedia doesn't. Well OK then, so I went ahead and take a quick look at your French "neighbors", and it was found out that she appears in the birth register 414/1963' (probably of Clermont-Ferrand, dunno).
