Linsey Dawn McKenzie

Linsey Dawn McKenzie (born August 7, 1978) is a naturally large breasted (at one time 38HHH but now 32DD after breast reduction surgery) glamour model and pornographic actress from Wallington in the London Borough of Sutton, England. An alternate spelling for her first name is Linzi, used mainly in the early part of her career.

Background

McKenzie grew up in a middle-class home in Wallington with her mother Lesley, a teacher, her father Tony, a scaffolding company manager, and her two older siblings Scott and Alyson. Her parents divorced in 1987, when McKenzie was 9 years old, and her mother subsequently married Chris Atkins, who became the children's stepfather. McKenzie attended Carshalton High School for Girls, where she passed six GCSEs, earning one B, two D's, and three E's. McKenzie had intended to pursue a career in the tourism industry, but abandoned those plans when her modelling career took off.

McKenzie's breasts began developing when she was 12. By the age of 15, she was wearing a 34DD brassiere. She reached a size 34GG by the time she was 17.

Glamour and softcore pornography

In 1994, 20-year-old Alyson McKenzie took some topless pictures of her busty 15-year-old sister and sent copies to local modelling agencies. Within days, McKenzie was invited for her first professional photoshoot. Because of McKenzie's age, photographers initially could use her only for bikini modelling and clothed glamour, but McKenzie made it clear that she was willing to pose topless when she reached the legal age (in the United Kingdom at that time) of 16.

The Daily Sport tabloid soon expressed an interest in promoting the young model, and would later claim to have "discovered" her. The newspaper ran a countdown to McKenzie's 16th birthday, publishing provocative, teasing pictures of the scantily clad teenager and promising to unveil her breasts when she came of legal age. McKenzie's first published topless photos appeared in The Sunday Sport on August 7, 1994, her 16th birthday. She had left school just weeks before.

McKenzie continued her association with The Daily Sport, becoming one of its most regularly featured models, and touring with its troupe of lap dancers and strippers. She also started appearing topless as a Page 3 girl in tabloid newspapers The Sun and The Daily Star, as well as fully nude in British softcore magazines such as Mayfair and Whitehouse. She made several low-budget softcore videos when she was 16 and 17 years old, most of which feature her dancing and stripping. One early video, Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Her Sister, features McKenzie and sister Alyson in simulated incestuous, lesbian scenes. In 2002 this film was re-released on DVD in the United Kingdom.

When McKenzie turned 18 in August 1996, she signed a North American contract with the Score Group, publisher of the Score and Voluptuous breast fetishism magazines. Score released a special pictorial issue and a video, Linsey's 18th Birthday, to celebrate McKenzie reaching the legal age to model nude in the United States.

McKenzie became one of the premier "big boob" models of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with numerous top-shelf magazine and video appearances, usually solo, but often with other large-breasted models such as Adele Stevens, Lorna Morgan, and Kerry Marie. A regular on Score magazine's annual "Boob Cruise", she appeared in several affiliated videos such as Score Boob Cruise 2000 and Score Boob Cruise Babes. Score chose McKenzie as its model of the year for 2004.

In the late 1990s, McKenzie started her own adult websites on both sides of the Atlantic. Piggybacking on her sister's popularity, Alyson McKenzie launched her own adult career with nude Score pictorials and guest photoshoots on Linsey's websites. Naturally small-breasted, as can be seen from her early topless appearance in Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Her Sister, Alyson received breast implants to boost her to a size 38DD. However, she achieved only a modest degree of success, never quite escaping the "Linsey Dawn McKenzie's sister" tag line, and has since retired from adult modelling.

Move to hardcore pornography

Over time, McKenzie's photo shoots in North American magazines and on her websites increasingly crossed the boundary of "softcore porn." Her adult modeling routinely came to include graphic "spread shots," bondage scenarios, simulated lesbian cunnilingus, and insertion of vaginal and anal sex toys.

Some of McKenzie's pre-2000 films (such as Linsey Dawn McKenzie in Live Sex Video and Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Alison Having Full Sex) were marketed as "hardcore," even though they depict only simulated sex scenes. However since 2000, McKenzie has made several bone fide hardcore porn films:

• Linsey's Lezzie Seduction (2000) features McKenzie and large-breasted American model Autumn Jade performing oral sex on each other
• Ultimate Linsey (2001) features a 23-minute-long scene in which McKenzie has oral, vaginal, and mammary sex with Terry Canty, her husband from her shortlived first marriage. The film features two additional solo scenes, one in which McKenzie masturbates with a sex toy, and one in which she strips out of a wedding dress
• Maximum Insertion (2004) features a scene in which McKenzie interacts with an automated erotic stimulation device, a hardcore ménage à trois scene with models credited as Veronika and Robert, and a hardcore lesbian scene with large-breasted Polish model Ines Cudna
• Busty Anal Lovers (2005) features a hardcore lesbian scene with Suzie Wilden, who penetrates McKenzie anally with a sex toy. This is the only time McKenzie has performed an anal penetration scene on video

Film and television appearances

McKenzie appeared as herself on the 2004 reality television show I'm Famous and Frightened. She was cast as the character Beryl Fforbes-Juggs in Martin Gooch's 2003 film Arthur's Amazing Things, which starred Emily Booth, Mark Felgate, and Leslie Phillips. Julian Jones also featured her in his 2003 documentary about Page 3 girls, The Curse of Page 3.

At the height of her popularity in the late 1990s, McKenzie often appeared on British daytime talk shows to discuss issues relating to adult modeling and breast size. She also appeared frequently on L!VE TV, Television X, and other adult-oriented channels.

Private life

McKenzie's turbulent romantic life has been marked by tempestuous celebrity relationships and tabloid scandal. In 1996, aged 17, she had a highly publicised relationship with then-Wimbledon striker Dean Holdsworth, a married man 10 years her senior. British tabloids sensationalized the affair, alleging that Holdsworth and McKenzie had made love on the bonnet (hood) of the footballer's £83,000 BMW car. Holdsworth's wife Samantha publicly slammed the young model, calling her a homewrecker and describing her as "uglier than our pet Rottweiler".

McKenzie went on to have high-profile relationships with Simply Red lead singer Mick Hucknall, with footballers Ashley Cole and John Terry, and with EastEnders actors Dean Gaffney and Michael Greco. She had a stormy 15-month relationship with the latter, became pregnant by him (she miscarried), and was briefly engaged before the relationship dissolved.

In 2000, claiming to be tired of footballers and celebrities, McKenzie began dating window cleaner Terry Canty, whom she met at a petrol station in Croydon, south London. In November 2000, while partying with Canty at the Atlantis nightclub in Croydon, McKenzie got into a well-publicised catfight with 19-year-old sales assistant Heidi Watts, a former girlfriend of Canty's who allegedly made an obscene gesture at the couple. Battered by McKenzie, Watts had her ribs X-rayed in hospital after the fight. She told The Sun newspaper that "[McKenzie] was like a woman possessed. One of her boobs is as big as my head and I didn't stand a chance."

McKenzie married Canty on April 27, 2001, and performs with him in her first hetrosexual hardcore video, Ultimate Linsey. However, tabloid newspapers began reporting after only 2 months that McKenzie's marriage was on the rocks. The couple divorced 10 months after their wedding.

In 2004, former Wimbledon and Northern Ireland footballer Mark Williams ended his relationship with fiancée Leilani Dowding, another topless model, to be with McKenzie. In May 2005, McKenzie gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named Luca Scott Mark Williams. On January 5, 2006, McKenzie and Williams married in a register office in London. The couple had a reception at London restaurant The Ivy and a honeymoon in Barbados. They now live in a villa in Marbella, in Andalusia, Spain.

Breast reduction surgery

McKenzie's large breasts had caused her physical discomfort since adolescence. A newspaper profile written when she was 16 noted that "she often gets backache, her boobs often feel as though they are bruised, and she has to wear extra-supportive bras with wide straps." Her back pain grew particularly acute in 2005, when her breasts swelled during her pregnancy, and in December 2005 she underwent breast reduction surgery, going from 38HHH to 32DD. The surgeon who had augmented the breasts of Katie Price (Jordan) to a size 34FF performed McKenzie's £6,500 reduction operation.

As of January 2007, McKenzie's British and U.S. websites are still publishing photosets taken before her breast reduction. It remains unclear whether she will continue her adult career with her smaller breasts. Early in 2006, she told the Sunday Sport that her breast reduction surgery "means the end of the old Linsey Dawn McKenzie," but did not elaborate.

Trivia

• McKenzie once had a tattoo that said "MUM" on her right shoulder; it is clearly visible in pictures taken before 2000. She had this modified to an astrological design because her mother disapproved of her decision to do hardcore pornography. She now also has a tattoo of a pink bow at the small of her back, and the name of her husband Mark tattooed on her finger.
• In January 2000, McKenzie was found guilty of a drink-driving offence and banned from driving for a year.
• McKenzie streaked at an England v. West Indies cricket match at Old Trafford on July 29, 1995. She ran onto the field wearing only a thong and a pair of trainers, with the words "Only Teasing" written across her breasts.
• McKenzie appeared on the BBC game show They Think It's All Over as a mystery guest during the Feel The Sportsman round. Her sporting claim to fame was her aformentioned streak at a cricket match.
• With the money from her first photo shoot, McKenzie bought a female Staffordshire bull terrier puppy named Shea. She still owns the dog.
• The photoshoots and softcore videos for which McKenzie modeled before she was 18 were not distributed to Canada or the United States. Some of McKenzie's early photo shoots and videos are considered child pornography in those countries.
• Mckenzie appeared on one of illusionist David Blaine's Street Magic shows.
