After Dinner Speakers: Melinda Messenger, Alan Simpson, Aretha Franklin

Melinda Messenger is a British star who has gone from bikini pinup girl to being the host of a bevy of shows. Almost overnight, the very, very voluptuous model became a household name in the UK, thanks to her perky attitude and well, other perky features that have also made her a favorite of men's magazines, and let's not forget the F1 circuit, where she was a model for the Williams Racing Team. She always dreamed about being famous, but she never actually pursued her dream until one day at her desk job, she came to realize that she needed something more exciting in her life. That led to an epiphany. The former flight attendant for Britannia Airlines life changed thanks to two events. The first, her decision to supersize her bra to a 34DD from a C-cup. The second event happened on January 27th, 1997, when British tabloid newspaper The Star, put up her pictures as their center story, after hearing about the uproar of a local ad she was in. The rest, as they say, is history.
