Tits to the Ritz

The female version of, " balls to the walls". The act of going all out, to the extreme. Often uttered before doing something crazy.
Me: "Hey Vanessa, your coming to to Jessica's bachelorette party next weekend right?"

Vanessa: " Hell yeah girl! I just picked up some furry handcuffs, nipple nibblers, mardigras beads and a 6 ft. inflatable penis to stick out of the sunroof of the limo!"

Me: "Damn Ness, you went Tits to the Ritz!"
