I think breast implants are super sexy.&#8221; How much did her new breasts cost her? Not a single dime. Total strangers footed the bill for her new breasts. She explains, &#8220;Currently on our web site there is 20,297 guys willing to donate to boob jobs. I think that&apos;s incredible. I love the Internet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--cut=\"Read More\"-->Benefactors donate at least $1.20 each time they email any of the 3,000 women waiting for implants. Lindsay said, &#8220;Probably about 10 guys really paid for my boob job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There have been 41 &#8220;boob jobs&#8221; paid for and completed since <a href=\"http:\/\/myfreeimplants.com\/\">My Free Implants<\/a> took off two years ago. In fact, 11 of those 41 surgeries happened this month. Lindsay said, &#8220;I went from an A-cup to a double-D.&#8221; As women&apos;s cup sizes grow, so does the business.    Co-founders Jason Grunstra and Jay Moore expect to raise a million dollars before the year is out.  <\/p>\n<p>What possesses a total stranger to pay for this?<\/p>\n<p>The founders explain, &#8220;For some of them, they have a lot of money&#8230; a charity type thing. For others, it&apos;s like science fiction&#8230;creating the perfect woman in their eyes.&#8221; They continued, &#8220;Guys spend hundreds of dollars on drinks at a bar on women they don&apos;t know. This might be a better investment for some guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The most amount of money donated by one benefactor is $30,000 in one month by a man from the UK. The founders said they paid for just over three breast surgeries. Ninety percent of the money that benefactors donate goes directly to the woman&apos;s doctor of choice. With advertising that consists of doctor listings on the site and ten percent of the net proceeds, these entrepreneurs are in for a huge payoff, and they&apos;re not even 30-years-old. <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime&#8230; women who have received the implants are thrilled. One said she thinks the two founders are brilliant. Another says, &#8220;A big thank you to Jason and Jay. You guys are a God send.&#8221;    <\/p>\n<p>God sends that encourage benefactors to &#8220;help improve the women&apos;s self esteem and confidence.&#8221; Lindsay agrees, &#8220;I got something I wanted for free and had fun while doing it.&#8221; She says her clothes fit better now, and everyone smiles at her more. Lindsay&apos;s benefactors didn&apos;t come away completely empty handed. For as little as $1.20 per e-mail, they got to see photos of her new figure.    <!--\/cut--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsay, 22, has a certain confidence in her step now &#8212; compliments of what&apos;s in her shirt. &#8220;I&apos;ve just always wanted them.
