Prosthetic Boob
FOUND by Craig Lupien
in Keene, New Hampshire
I found this gem along the sidewalk near work. I haven't stopped scratching my head ever since. It's not the fact that a prosthetic boob was sitting on the sidewalk, but that a prosthetic boob with HAIR was sitting on the sidewalk. Why the hair? And yes, it's the real deal, not some cheap, knock-off boob. I've asked numerous friends and family members if they have any insight into why a female breast might have hair on it, but no answer seems available.

Wow. That might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on Found.
Good job.
Amazing find.
There are no words for this. None.
It might be for a fat man.
BOOBIES!!!
HAIRY BOOBIES!!!
surprisingly round nipple for such a wrinkly breast.
i don't get it....did the finder find the boob itself or a picture of the boob?
I imagine the boob fell off while taking a shower and got mixed up with the hair in the drain.
if I looking for boob
him name is hopkin hairy boob
I lost my boob
ps I'll find my boob
who took my boob
I think it's a man boob...
and Open, he found the actual boob...
I think he should put a found add in the paper. Someone probably paid good money for this hairy masterpiece... Some old guy with altzheimers wandered out of his care home and yanked out his fake boob when he started to sweat. He's missing it now... I bet he had to get it b/c he took some shrapnel in WWII and had to loose a boob. Over time he got over the embarrassment and accepted his fake boob. It's been a hit party trick ever since. He loved to slip his fake hairy boob onto a cake plate and startle some unexpecting party guest... Now he and the other folks down at Shady Oaks don't have that little perk to look forward to anymore...
There should be a man hunt where Craig goes out and tries this hairy man boob on all the men in his area, Cinderella style. Don't rest until you find him!!
yeah because i lose my hairy,pruney boobs a lot too..
I'm going to have some serious nightmares....
My mom had a friend who was breast cancer survivor. She had a fake boob and showed it to me once, which seems really creep now than I mention it. Anyway, it didn't look real like the one pictured. That's very strange, indeed.
I am disturbed by the hair, but can't look away! This has to be the best find I've ever seen.
I imagine it is one of a pair, lost ages ago from the Planet of the Apes movie set. Ever since becoming lost from the set it has wandered the earth piteously, in search of its twin. I hope the hairy boob is successful in its quest.
I don't believe it...a find not even a Womble could bring itself to recycle!!
Not as a doorstop...not as a paperweight...not as anything.
eeeeeiiiw.
Monkeys, Gorilla maybe ? A disguise for a Party
Maybe part of a costume for something?
more than the hairy man boob itself, I like the snooty look of disdain on the bespectacled gray haired man overlooking the man boob.
It looks like he was placed there very intentionally, just for this photograph.
And suspecting that the answer to today's spam Q was as interesting as the 420 one...
http://foundmagazine.com/find/227
I'm speechless! It's like a horrible accident. I can't look away! Best find EVER!
Oh - My-God ! This is the find of all finds. It's atrocious but-I would have cracked up so hard laughing if I came across this on a street !
I once asked a UPS delivery man what was the most odd thing he ever had to deliver. He said it would have to have been a live human female breast-to a medical lab. It was packed in dry ice , he said.I immediately thought of that when I saw this.
I would have never picked this thing up , bring it home and upload it if I saw it on the road, though ! ROFL !
I have seen some scary boobs on women, but nothing like this one, my guess is that it was once used in a movie by an extra, an it was just kept as a momento of that experience, and it was accidentally lost, and you found it. Oh yeah, i figure it was made for a guy, cause not even in the movies have i seen such a scary lookin` boob on a woman!
Definitely a moob, but are you sure it's prosthetic? Too eerie ...
Not to be a donny downer, but men can get breast cancer. Maybe a guy lost his nipple and a bunch of tissue and his chest looked weird under shirts, so he got this prothesis. You should try to find the owner. If one of my boobs were wandering the earth alone, I would want someone to return it.
This is one heck of a find. :s
ok.. i'm speechless. this is truly the holy grail of finds. All must bow down to Craig Lupien, finder of moob.
It definitely looks like a hairy, wrinkled prosthetic man-boob, but maybe it's a man-boob discarded from a TV/movie set. Either that, or Buffalo Bill is not finding the quality dismembered female parts that he used to...
Okay, no one has said it yet.
CREEPY!
I'm not sure I would have picked that one up.
Did he find a picture of the boob or the boob itself.
Hey Captain in Tenille what the reference to the other found for?
i'm skaid
Maybe the person for whom this was made had hairy boobs to begin with, and wanted her prosthetic to match the other. It does happen, you know. Some people are hairy. Big f'ing deal.
I feel like it is a mans boob. Because its hairy. It is often rinkly. Such a strange thing to get. Great Find!
Ew. Creepy. I don't like looking at this at all.
Ew. Ick. Ew.
Hope I'm not getting the flu.
Ick. Ew. Ick.
This find is making me sick.
"This is Bob. He has bitch tits."
I agree, it's a moob, but I also agree that it has to be from a movie or something. Why would a regular man get such a large, protruding prosthetic boob? The cancer survivors I know were in no way overweight by the time they won the battle, with the exception of the aforementioned Bob, who retained his own boobs.
My first feeling is nausea and speechlessness. Maybe it's a custom made prosthetic moob for a guy who had the other one blown off in 'Nam? I'd at least wax the original and have a smooth plastic one made to match.
Now that's just strange. Wasn't expecting to see THAT when the page loaded!
There should be an award for Craig. Most courageous finder. Did you look around to see if anybody saw you pick it up? What if it then fell out of your pocket on the bus or something?
Watch for it at the next Super Bowl halftime show!
gwoss.
It looks bruised. and.....yuck.
Did you also notice that the "said" has been removed no matter how far you search back? Just noticing.
Yes, amaz, i did notice that said is gone, long gone, existing now only in our memories. I hope they keep the in, though. Said was not all that necessary. But in is very necessary. The in INspires INteresting locations!
maybe it's from living in the SF Bay Area so long, but my first assumption was this was from a drag queen who is now very sad he has to buy a new set of boobs.
Be on the alert for this boob's mate!
If was a movie prop what was it doing in Keene, NH... assuming it was found in Keene?
I think some guy went as a gorilla for Halloween and then pissed off his girlfriend by coming home at 4am way to drunk. So she cut up his $99.99 costume into unrepairable chunks in vengenace. Then, Craig Lupien found one those chunks, (the boob one) and here we all are.
ARMPITT HAIR!
this belongs on dirtyfound
Reminds me of that song "detachable penis"... but I guess it would be "detachable boob"?
Ya'know, people tend to just find one lone shoe too - makes you wonder. . .
<grin>
-F
wow, i seriously didn't expect this today. i've been following FOUND for awhile and this has to be both the best and worst find ever.
poor george, having lost his boob in that fight in the car...it got tossed out in the street and now george is known as the one-moob-man...
May god guide this boob in its quest for home....?
My first impression (after OMG!!!1!!) was that some weird exhibitionist cut an opening in a sheet of cardboard and placed it over his own moob and took a picture. *shudder*
I am a breast cancer survivor who had a bilateral mastectomy. I did not get reconstruction, and if you take away the hair, my prosthetic boobs look a lot like that one, but they don’t have dark nipples.
If you don’t store the forms in their foam cases when you are not wearing them, they get wrinkly….I thought that was kind of ironic, like the boobs “age”.
My guess is that the hair is something that got stuck on after the fact. I doubt it was made that way. I know several men who have had mastectomy due to breast cancer and none of them wear a prosthetic breast.
I think it's Sal's (Pussy) from the Sopranos. It probably washed ashore or was plucked from the surf by a seagull.
Sand- I thought that the answer to my Math spam Q might be another very special and amusing Found Easter Egg.
But it wasn't as amusing as the one pointed out a couple days ago.
Lorena Bobbit's on the loose.. and she IS. NOT. HAPPY. But she's over the pee pee fixation.
when i was in nursing school, we had dummies to do procedures on, with velcro boobs, and a velcro penis. One guy in my class used to stick the penis to his chest when he was wearing a wool sweater.. lol
Reminds me of when I was in high school and we had a "sex ed" type class in science where they taught us to check for lumps. Important, I know, but horrifyingly embarrassing in 10th grade. Along with a somewhat graphic movie (for a 15 year old), they passed around fake boobs for us to check. My friend got a rather flat, oddly-shaped one and said "This is a weird one." The nurse then told her it was a testicle, and my friend proceeded to throw it across the room with a shriek! None of them were hairy...
That's fucking gross. What if it had turned out to be real? Like Blue Velvet, but Playboy Channel style.
Disturbing. I feel like I need to wash my hands with bleach and take a shower.
And I just got done making pancakes. Weird.
Body parts are beautiful and natural and can actually be artistic. This however is something else. Entirely.
(Help.)
this looks like something out of a mixed media class. damn. and just when i was going to do a tree sculpture decorated with tits and ladyfur. guess they beat me to it.
oh jesus, hard math. 454/2. i have to break out the calculator :(
It was the best of finds, it was the worst of finds...
Seriously, I used to work at Michael's, in San Diego, and There was a guy there who used to tell stories about going up to LA in drag, and popping out his fake boobs, when he got chased by some gay haters. "You want 'em, you got 'em", then he would pop them out and run like H E double hockey sticks. He had the most beautiful long dark waist length curly hair...hmmm...
two words: drag queen
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
Megan, that's hilarious! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.... thanks. :o)
Everybody wants prosthetic boobies on their real boobs...Someone in this town... is trying to burn the playhouse down...they want to stop the ones who want prosthetic boobies on their real boobs...
Looks like a monkey boob for a expensive costume.
that is foul. i love it.
What about a prosthetic for a Drag Queen? Hairy cleavage might have been part of the 'look'.
I know where the THING came from. You see there was a 70 year old grandma who was...getting her grove on with her 80 year old hairy male companion. The companion....I will call him Richard, got his chest hair stuck in the porthesis. Ouch! As a result the old guy died of a heart attack. The old woman did not know that Richard had left her with $10 million in his will. The moral of the story....Wearing prothetics to keep your man happy can really pay off in the end.....
Stating... that's just wrong, wrong, wrong.
...This whole thing is wrong... on so many levels...
That is just gross. I can't even look at it. Mostly because it looks like its looking BACK at me... Ugh!!
spam: do you see the doctor or a dentist for a toothache? depends on who gives out the best drugs....
The drag queens I know would think this is a nasty gross boob.
Are we sure this is a fake boob?
Wow. This is beyond words...
I'm gonna go with the gorilla costume theory. It's far too gross to be anything else. It even looks like it's cut.
When I was in school., we had an assignment in Psychology class to do something strange and record how people reacted. This one would get an "A".
I just want to assure you all that I have not handled this actual found prosthetic boob with my bare hands. Latex gloves or a plastic bag have been used whenever the need to handle and or transport the boob is required. One reason being due to a fear of what sort of germs something like this might retain. The second reason being fearful it is evidence to a crime I want most definitely to not want to be associated with.
All of your input has been illuminating. And I think I have experienced every one of the emotions expressed in these comments at one point or another. I'm sorry you all have to share my plight of confusion, disgust and humor.
I will be renting the boob by the hour at a rate of $50.00 per hour. No questions asked, just clean it off before you return it. Contact my agent.
Oh by the way, I found the matching second boob two weeks later. It was lacerated and yes it too has hair. But why was it not in the same spot as the first found boob when I found said hairy boob?
Wow, Craig. That is creepy, and one hell of a coincidence. Maybe they were left for you to find? Thanks for sharing that with us.
Craig, how much to rent the pair?
Craig, will we someday see the pair of boobs featured in a painting?
Are you serious? You found the other one too? What are the chances? This has to be the most bizarre FIND ever.Grossest of all, there's some weird little thing hanging off one of the hairs. What is that?!
One person's boob is another person's art.
I love the picture of the man in the background peering distastefully at the boob.
Tomorrow's my 21st birthday and when I renew my license, I'm going to see if there's anything about boob donation next to the organ donor question. Although, judging from this Found, boob donation still seems to be in the experimental stage.
By the way, does anyone want my Arby's sub? For some reason, and I can't put my finger on it, I just don't think I can finish it.
M-m-m.. an Arby's sub and a nice big glass of milk!
I have a particularly hairy uncle who lives in Keene, it could belong to him.
My eyes! My eyes! I can never un-see this.
Milk you say....did I mention the milk that came out of the teet?
Now that's just a farce.
But the boob did tell me it would like the rest of your Arby's sub.
Craig: I just have to ask. Are you CERTAIN that they are prosthetic? The one in the picture looks like some sort of oddly preserved REAL boob.
Oh, my eyes!
on first glance i thought the paper had a circle cut out of it and this moob poking through it... less, but still, strange.
anyway i found a lady boob once in a club after the lights came on. i stuck it in my friends back pocket and when he found it and realized what it was he definitely threw it down on the ground.. where it lay as we stumbled off laughing hysterically.
There was a boob in the Bodies exhibition that really has bothered me ever since.
i think the only logical reason there'd be hair on it is because they made it to match a specific woman's body, and that just happens to be what her body looks like... which is rather unfortunate, but who am i to judge beauty? why shouldn't it be acceptable?
er... yeah. anyway. made to match. LOL fantastic find! i once found a fake ear. but it wasn't a prosthetic. it was blue.
omg, that is hilarious!!!!!! i cannot imagine why the female who wanted this boob also wanted hair on it...thats just strange...but maybe she liked her boobs to be hairy, you never know :]
i saw one comment that was plausible. monkey costume.
what about a prosthectic for a primate and/or i wonder if there is a hookup for a something like the breast pump.
i will be very shocked that it is indeed intended for a human, and, albeit somewhat disgusted.
nice find,
you don't see that everyday :)
I refuse to believe that if this is someone's prosthetic breast, it's a woman's. Besides that, Craig said he found the other one too. There's a lot more to this story!
NICE RACK!
Maybe it's from the TV show Jackass or something.
I did here they were filming a new movie.
Had I stumbled across that thing on the ground, I would have repeatedly stomped on it to try and kill it.
Planet of the Apes.
It's photos like these that make me think twice about going to "Found"... Is it.. a man's boob... or a woman's? I feel terribly sorry for any woman's boob that is so wrinkly...
Ummm...Craig, have you read anything about serial killers chopping up or off body parts in the local Keene, NH newspaper????
Maybe you should bring the pair into the police station and let them decide what and where they came from????
Just a thought??
i think the hair is just stuck to it, not on purpose.
I'm glad sunday is over, so i dont have to look at this everytime i open up my homepage.
I'm thinking...
gorilla costume + some guys messing about as guys are apt to + a pair of scissors = a pair of hilarity inducing scary hairy boobs
at least i hope so....
Maybe it's not a prostethic (ooospelling) boob, maybe it's a model to show what your boob can look like if you get cancer...or...hit with an ugly stick.
Could be one of 3 things, all rather unlikely. 1) A gag-store prank gone horribly wrong. 2) Something created by an artist for a Trompe L'oeil masterpiece featuring a hairy chested female for shock value. 3) A prosthetic for a guy who had breast cancer. Although the third is the most likely, how could anyone let such a beauty out of their possesion. One would think that you would never let it off your person... Ok, it could be a real piece of flesh that fell of a leper while he was walking down the sidewalk
Breast Cancer effects Men too. This could be a male prostetic boob!
Shalita Buffet, one of Keene, New Hampshire's most popular drag queens, performed a side-splitting rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" during her show on Saturday. (It had generated so many tips the previous weekend that she couldn't afford to pass up an encoure performance.) Later that night while packing up her things, Shilita removed her wig and peeled off her boobies, absent-mindedly tossing them into a box next to her make-up table. The glue she had used to secure the boobs, still warm from her body heat, was now commingling with the brunette wig she had worn. The next day, while returning the wig to it's stand, she notice the boob stuck to it and tore it free, removing a clump of hair from the wig in the process. "Oh, God. Now there's a sight for sore eyes" she deadpanned. Since the old, wrinkled thing had probably exceded it's useful life span anyway, she tossed it into the trash, where it was retrieved by her dog, Peaches. The discarded boob was then transported, via shi tzu, into the courtyard of Miss Bufett's apartment complex to be found several days later by one thoroughly gleeful FOUND fan named Craig.
What if this is just a painting. It exists only in the artists own imagination. Surrealism if you will. Judging by the man behind the boob, it appears to be a picture of a stack of large canvases or poster sized pictures leaning or propped against a wall. Probably a picture someone took setting up for a gallery show. I like the man behind the boob, he is staring at it.
Every year MANY men get breast cancer also. DOH! So why wouldn't they want a prosthesis just like a woman would. Hense the hairy boob!
@John: <applause> Great story! Good job!
What I want to know is WHAT are those dark spots on the bottom right hand side? Is it dirt or what? That's what is freaking me out about this the most.
Oh! I've got it. The rare birds have migrated from Chicago and miss the times they had there. They try to make a real life duplicate of their favorite painting and get a little randy with the prosthetics. Earl's toupee gets stuck in the adhesive Ethel used and she get's annoyed and peels them off, throwing them on the ground in disgust as she leaves.
Thanks, Nightingale. They always say, "write about what you know". (Oops, I've said too much.)
4!
I think it's a man boob..It's too ugly (even without the nast hair) to be a woman boob!!
I found a rather large (life-like) rubber dick at a streetcar stop during Torontos gay pride weekend a few years back.
I took a photo but wasn't brave enough to touch it.
it's probably from an art student's art project. i remember finding a rubber vagina with fake hair stuck to it near a university art building. those crazy art students!
Being from the cultural mecca of New Hampshire, I can tell you that the winters there are really long. Come on, who hasn't wanted to curl up with a cold disembodied boob on a long winters' night? Anyone?
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I was thinking it was a prosthetic replacement for a man with gynecomastia until I read Craig's comment about the second boob!
Now I agree, it MUST be an art project.
I once met a guy who worked for a Hollywood special effects studio where they made the fake newborns for medical shows. He poured a little extra rubber into a mold of the baby's face one time and kept it, so he could take it around to parties to freak people out... maybe you can make a similar mold for man-boobs?
um...this is disgusting...just thought i would point that obvious true fact for you all...
My issue is not with the fact that there was a boob on the ground, nor is it with the fact that there was a boob WITH HAIR on the ground. My issue is with the fact that you PICKED UP THE BOOB WITH HAIR from the ground.
Probably one of the most unique, 3-dimensional, and curious finds of all though.
Wow. This isn't anything what traditional breast forms look like. I mean, this is scarily life like. Even without the hair the wrinkles, the nipple...way too real to be a commercially produced prosthetic. This puppy was custom built. Freaking bizarre.
I hope you picked that up with a stick!
I live in the samy city. We have a schizophrenic cross dresser who roams the streets, and I can picture wearing this. His name is Larry. I bet it's his.
Actually, the explantion that first came to mind for me was a drag queen.
These breasts (though quite expensive) are quite common for drag queens and the hair could easily have been from a wig. Could have been dropped in a drunken stuper, throw at someone and forgotten, etc.
A friend of mine lost one at a club in Springfield, IL when she was performing a few weeks ago. XD
hahaha i can't stop laughing about this. it is so strange and finding the other boob just makes it stranger. i want to send it to all of my friends but i am afraid they will think it is too creepy...most unique find!
Josh, that's TOO funny. I'M from Lexington, KY too! Great minds think alike.
It's so sad to thing some woman lost her hair and her boob all in the same day :(
This picture makes me want to vomit.
i just threw up in my mouth a little
Perhaps its left over prop from when they filmed Jumanji here and someone dropped it? Or it could be from the Keene State College kids, its a huge arts school so it might have been left behind when filming a movie for school?
Breast find ever!
yay the creepiest find ever was found where i live!
can a man get breast cancer? hmmm.. fake men boobs.. i have to think this one thru.. lol
Must have lost it in the snow playing with their kids.
DID NO ONE MAKE THIS CONNECTION?!?! Has no one seen those commercials? Come on.
The funniest thing I have ever seen on this site!! Well, actually the comments kept the tears rolling down my face in laughter, and the actual item kept the tears rolling down my face in horror!
at what point did you think that you would pick this thing up and take it home???
I do belive this may belong to http://foundmagazine.com/comments/605
this young man. Please see that it's returned.
