The World Record Bunny, Annette Edwards, And Jessica Rabbit
In January, the Annette Edwards, Jessica Rabbit story first began. Annette Edwards became an Internet sensation when news broke, with photos, that the Englishwoman put 10,000 pounds — about the same as $ 16,000 — on her credit card so she could get plastic surgery intended to make her look like Jessica Rabbit–considered by many the sexiest cartoon character of all time. The surgically enhanced redhead is red hot again, as she is the breeder of the Guinness World Records world’s largest rabbit.
Annette Edwards’ Jessica Rabbit obsession
The obsession Annette Edwards has with Jessica Rabbit isn’t that strange if you consider the world’s largest rabbit in the picture. Among those who like rabbits, she is a well known bunny breeder. It was reported by MSNBC that the latest Guinness World Records rabbit, a Continental Giant named Darius, is her fourth rabbit to get a world record. This rabbit, Darius, is 4 feet, 3inches long and weighs 50 pounds. Edwards said he could grow another four to six inches.
Cartoon character of Jessica Rabbit sexist
Annette Edwards’ Jessica Rabbit obsession is inspired by the animated heroine in the 1988 fantasy comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In a story where cartoon characters and real people interact with one another, Kathleen Turner voices Jessica Rabbit. A promotional survey that was done by British firm Cadbury voted Jessica Rabbit the sexiest cartoon character, beating out such animated icons as Cinderella, Wilma Flintstone, Snow White, and Daphne from Scooby Doo.
Jessica Rabbits transformation for Annette Edwards
Annette Edwards’ Jessica Rabbit transformation required $ 16,000 worth of plastic surgery including cheek implants, chin implants, and a breast lift. She told the Huffington Post that the rest of her body underwent “The Jessica Diet.” She said she lost more than 40 pounds in three months by eating like a rabbit. As for Darius, the Daily Mail reports he eats six apples, a dozen carrots and two cabbage heads a day.
Annette Edwards seems to be just a normal person
Annette Edwards doesn’t go around looking like Jessica Rabbit all the time. The 59-year-old, who raised 10 children and is a great-grandmother, dons her cartoon persona for special occasions. “I’m only Jessica if I go on a shoot.” she told MSNBC. “I love being Jessica. … My family thinks it’s a little crazy. It’s one of those things. I just love it. I’m not Jessica at home. I’m just a normal person.”
Jessica Rabbit is in the flesh
Annette Edwards is taking her Guinness World Records rabbit on an international tour. The humongous bunny is insured for $ 1.6 million, has an agent and travels with a bodyguard who reportedly makes about $ 100,000 a year. When Edwards makes her appearances with Darius, the World’s Largest Rabbit, she gets out there and wears a bright red wig, elbow-length purple gloves, platform shoes with stiletto heels and a tight, red sequined dress — and voila, Jessica Rabbit in the flesh.
