Chicago Attorney Allegedly Showed Her Breast Implants to Co-Workers; Blames Blago for Ethics Complaint

Yesterday, we examined the attorney misconduct case of Tamara Tanzillo. Back in 2009, she was fired from her job with the Illinois Department of Health and Family Services for engaging in "arguably decadent personal behavior." But what does that mean? Let's find out -- and have a look at the rather attractive Tanzillo, too....

20. In or about July, 2007, in the early morning hours, Respondent arrived at her Springfield office building, repeatedly identified herself to the guard as the “Boss Lady” and requested entry. Respondent, who smelled strongly of alcohol, slurred her words and had difficulty standing. The guard escorted Respondent into the building where Respondent began doing a hula dance in the elevator. Respondent left the office later that morning.

Thus far, we know that Tanzillo is a hottie who likes to drink, with a temper that’s allegedly as fiery as her luxurious locks. What else?

21. In 2007, at an after-hours event for the opening of the Chicago office of two lobbyists, Respondent was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs and fell to the floor screaming, then ran outside into traffic.

Okay, strike what was said above. Boss Lady doesn’t just like to drink. She loves to drink.

22. In February 2008, at approximately 5:30-6:00 a.m., Respondent called the guard of her Springfield office building and stated that she was unclothed in a car outside and further stated that she required something to wrap around her in order to enter the building. A while later, two women brought Respondent a coat to cover herself, and all three entered the building, with Respondent wearing the coat wrapped around her, covering her head and face.

Wow. Just wow.

23. On two different occasions, Respondent exposed her breasts to female co-workers to request their opinion on the results of her breast augmentation surgery.

24. On April 2, 2008, Respondent entered J.P. Kelly’s, a tavern in Springfield, and exposed her breasts to two State officials, after which Respondent conversed with those officials for several minutes. At the time of the incident, Respondent was also unsteady on her feet and had been drinking.

25. Later in the evening, on April 2, 2008, Respondent went to The Plaza, a downtown Springfield tavern. Some time thereafter, she was wobbling and barely able to stand on her feet in the alley behind The Plaza. Respondent recognized a former HFS employee, and then loudly confronted the former employee by stating that the former employee had “fucking called my husband.”

Oh, Boss Lady, how we wish we could obtain a picture of your brand new boobs. Maybe we should email her and see if she’ll send one over to us? Because, come on, she apparently has no shame as it is, so why not make those babies public for all the world to see on Above the law?

And last, but definitely not least:

26. On January 6, 2009, at approximately 1:30 a.m., Respondent appeared at her Springfield office building dressed in sleepwear and barefoot, escorted by a man. Respondent requested a master key from the guard, proceeded upstairs to the executive offices, and then returned the key to the guard at the main entrance. Respondent and the man entered the elevator hugging and kissing. Respondent and her companion left the office at about 6:30 a.m.

Bow chika bow wow. Was the man her husband, or was he just some random booty call who picked her up from home in her pajamas?

Anyway, we’re definitely in love with the “Boss Lady.” It’s a true shame, but it seems like she hit her stride a little too late in life. She should be given an honorary sorority membership. If not that, she needs to be given the title of “Head Bitch in Charge,” and stat, because she just seems awesome. She’s so awesome that she makes Laura Flippin — the DLA Piper partner with the alleged .253 BAC — look like a flippin’ model citizen.
