A hip-hop artist who has testified clients of her side gig call her the "Michelangelo of buttocks injections" may get to show off her own curves to the jury in her murder trial.
A defence lawyer for Padge Victoria Windslowe wants jurors to see the body sculpting the buxom defendant has done on herself.

It's not clear whether the judge will allow the jury to view her work firsthand. Windslowe, 45, is charged with third-degree murder in the 2011 death of a 20-year-old client from London.
An emergency room doctor told jurors that Claudia Aderotimi died after the silicone injected into her buttocks at an airport hotel spread hours later to her blood and lungs.
The trial is expected to last two to three weeks.
Windslowe, known to her clients only as "Lillian", allegedly fled after Aderotimi started having trouble breathing during "a touch-up" to celebrate her birthday.
As it happened, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped at the Hampton Inn just before and after Aderotimi went to the hospital in an ambulance. But they did take note of the well-dressed woman in a white Land Rover who worked as Windslowe's intermediary, referring Aderotimi and others to Windslowe through websites.
They got leads that the faux surgeon used the nickname "Black Madam" in her Gothic YouTube videos but it would be more than a year before they could find her to make an arrest.
Windslowe seems eager to testify and tell the jury about her satisfied customers around the globe. "Everyone was calling me 'the Michelangelo of buttocks injections",' Windslowe said.
