PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Gothic hip-hop artist charged with killing a London break dancer she injected with low-grade silicone said Friday she never heard any complaints from the numerous transgender women who sought her services for a more plump buttocks.
Testifying at her murder trial in Philadelphia, Padge-Victoria Windslowe said she stopped performing the procedures for a time after the 20-year-old client died in 2011. Doctors have told jurors during the two-week trial that the syringe hit a vein and sent silicone to the woman's lungs. Two other women testified they spent months in the hospital with similar injuries after visits with Windslowe, including one who received an injection on a dining room table at a "pumping party" later the same year.
Witnesses said they reached Windslowe through an intermediary and never saw her again after botched injections.
Defense lawyer David Rudenstein seemingly hopes to show jurors through Windslowe's testimony that she prepped them with alcohol before and after the injections and took other safety measures.
However, prosecutors say she mostly used nonsterile, industrial silicone, not the medical-grade silicone that is encased in implants during standard cosmetic surgeries.
"I told (clients) I've been doing this for years, I've done it to myself and my friends, and I was trained by a nurse up in Washington Heights (in New York City) back in 1995," Windslowe said Friday, explaining her credentials.
On the stand Thursday, Windslowe said she was trained by a doctor in Thailand and another in South America who performed her sex-change operation.
She said she started doing body sculpting two decades ago to help transgender friends. Transgender women often want to plump up an indent in the side of the buttocks they call "the boy pocket," she said.
Windslowe charged about $1,000 to $2,000 depending on the amount of silicone requested. Some clients, including a pole dancer she discussed Friday, saw her a half-dozen times.
Windslowe told jurors Thursday that she has worked on thousands of people, earning the title "the Michelangelo of buttocks injections," and uses the same products on herself.
Windslowe acknowledges she injected 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi but says she thought the dancer became ill from alcohol. Aderotimi died in 2011 after injections at an airport hotel.
Prosecutors argue that she recklessly endangered her clients by practicing medicine without a license.
