Posthumous Essie Award

It must be a full moon, because it's already time to award another Essie. Kasia Rivera has the entrepreneurial spirit. She came up with the idea for a home business and advertised via fliers in local shops. Justin Street saw one of her fliers and decided she could be of service to him.

So he went to her apartment for a silicone injection -- for penile enlargement. He died the next day of a silicone embolism. Rivera has been charged with reckless manslaughter.

So, alas, this Essie is awarded posthumously to the well-endowed Justin Street.
