Bobbie Brown with Caroline Ryder, Dirty Rocker Boys (New York: Gallery Books, 2013), 34. (As a high school teenager, Brown lived near Baton Rouge, LA.)
My new best friend was Mona, a petite girl with big breasts and four sisters all as pretty as she was. She became an ally in my quest to become pretty enough to be a model. But what were we going to do about that chest of mine? I was still flat as a pancake.
“If you drink Dr. Pepper, your tits will grow,” she told me.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Positive.”
I drank so much Dr. Pepper that summer my tongue turned brown. Sad to say, my chest refused to blossom.
