A little extra support.
Ok. I know I try to keep this thing light hearted and unemotional (riiiiight), squarely focused on penis jokes and rock climbing and pretty pictures of doorways, mountainsides and Tassy's boobs, but I promised my roommate I would help her with this project. And as I love my roommate more than sunrises and a good veggie burger (but maybe not as much as a hot slice of New York pizza on a rainy day), I've got something serious to talk about.
In an effort to contribute to breast cancer research, Care Bear, my favorite roommate for more than three years now and the best wingman EVER, the girl who puts up with my shit EVERY DAY, joined a team committed to raising $15,000.00 by the end of the month. I know I'm a little late with this, but we still have a week! The $15,000.00 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the Young Survivors Coalition.
She is promoting hand-made breast cancer bracelets for $35.00 each. The bracelets can be ordered online

. These are good people, and this is a good cause. I vouch for them personally.
Now it's no secret that I really like boobies, especially healthy boobies, so you know I am more than happy to help. There are somewhere between 500 and 1500 eyeballs that see this site daily. That number of people can do a world of good. I'm asking you to step up to this challenge.
If you've got a little extra cash, a sister or a girlfriend or a niece that needs a cool birthday gift, of if you know anyone who has ever been touched by this disease, please make a donation and buy a bracelet. You'll do something profoundly important, and you will get a cool reminder that you're helping to find a cure.

It is a great cause. Hopefully you'll catch a few who didn't donate to this years blogger boobiethon (their money also went to the koman foundation) or some who don't mind donating twice. I'll take a peek in my purse.

Thank you all so much for your support. I am the one working on this project so feel free to e-mail me directly.
Terri- Yes, we will ship to Canada. Please include all postal info needed.
For those of you in LA or "the OC" e-mail me directly and we can arrange an exchange so you do not have to pay shipping. Thank you!
