Sheri Anderson is looking to expand her "busty horizons" and has gone online hoping for donations to buy herself a bigger rack.

The 31-year-old graphic artist has the dream of being able to apply at Hooters.

"This is something I've always wanted since the age of 18 when I realized they weren't going to grow anymore. It's about me doing something for myself to make me happy but proving to myself I'm not afraid to do what I have to to achieve it," said Anderson, who is less than an A-cup and would like to be a C-cup.

STARTED AS A LARK

"If genetics were on my side, I wouldn't be pleading to complete strangers for money. Even through two pregnancies, the (boob) fairy saw fit to pass me by. The only well-wisher who ever knocked on my door was the boob Nazi -- no boobs for you!"

Anderson said she is the only one in her family without ample bosoms.


"As well as not being blessed with a bust, I also wasn't blessed with money. What first started as a lark is now a reality. With the help of this website, I'm asking for the people's support in my crusade to expand my busty horizons," she said.

'COUPLE BUCKS'

"And I'm not looking for huge donations either, just a couple bucks here and there, nothing to break anyone's bank."

Anderson says she has had 500 visitors to her website -- buymeboobs.ca -- and has collected $200 of the $6,500 cost for a boob job.

"I am someone trying to feel good about myself," she said.

In the next couple of months, she will be going to consultations for the breast augmentation.

"I'm also documenting all of this for others so they can see what is involved in this process," she said.

Anderson says she will donate 5% of the money she receives to cancer research.
