'Black Madam' sought as person of interest in death of British woman given buttocks injection

Before everything went crazy, before the international headlines about butt injections gone wrong, Padge Victoria Windslowe was a Philadelphia girl who led a simple life - as the leader of an "Underground Dynasty of Flesh."

For those just tuning in, Windslowe was identified by detectives in court documents as the person whom they believe gave an illegal buttocks-enhancing injection to British native Claudia Seye Aderotimi earlier this week at an airport hotel.

Aderotimi, 20, complained of chest pains and trouble breathing after she received the injection. She died a few hours later. The cause of death has not yet been determined.

The search for answers in her death led investigators to Windslowe, who has apparently led quite an active double life.

Many on the Web know her as the Black Madam, a self-described "gothic hip-hop artist" who, according to her Facebook page, has struggled her entire adult life with "balancing what is right and what pays the bills."

The Facebook entry claims that for more than 10 years, Windslowe was "Philadelphia's Society Hill Madame . . . and directed an Underworld Dynasty of Flesh" with more than 200 male and female sex workers.

Numerous websites - including her own, www.blackmadam. com - now show Windslowe to be an aspiring performance artist who has recorded an album, and has produced a vivid, voodoo-influenced video, "Come on in my kitchen."

There is, of course, more to the story.

Court documents show that Aderotimi first traveled from England to Philly in November to receive buttocks injections from Windslowe, who went by the alias Lillian Lang.

That name turns up numerous times on a www.topix.com forum on "Butt Injections." A woman who claimed to be from Indianapolis posted a message on the site that said she received silicone injections "from Lillian" in Philadelphia in 2008.

"She honestly has the hands to make masterpieces," the woman wrote, "and [definitely] is more precise in her expertise than many surgeons out there."

Police have said that Windslowe does not have any medical training.

On Monday, investigators said Aderotimi and three of her pals met Windslowe at the Hampton Inn on Bartram Avenue. Also at the hotel was Scheffe "Sasha" Wilson, a North Jersey resident who arranged the meeting, according to court documents.

One of Aderotimi's friends told detectives that they both paid Windslowe $1,800 for what were supposed to be silicone injections.

A few hours after the procedure was performed, Aderotimi died at Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital in Delaware County.

Police searched Windslowe's Lower Merion apartment on Thursday and found several identification cards with different names and numerous syringes.

After the search, investigators said that she was a "person of interest" and not facing any criminal charges. Her whereabouts were still unknown to police last night. They now are asking that anyone who may have received injections from Windslowe to contact Southwest Detectives at 215-686- 3183.
