Yes yes yes this is just excuse to talk about boobs, but in a good way honest!

Firstly its the start of doodle week, my beloved blog project.
It kicks off with Pink Boobies and so I decided to doodle a helpful Breast Self-Exam in five steps.

Example of doodlage here:
boobs 2

Then things were taken one step or leap further with the help of my wicked sidekick.....Olga (she that adorns my head).

A new fun project called:
Smoosh

Mentioned here:

With its own blog created here:

What's the weirdest thing you would do to raise awareness or money for charity?

    I've just added some t-shirts for the men to my shop and on them it has "Save The Boobies".
    1. crpitt
      Is the money going to charity?
  2. olgatravelingbra
    I haven't done it yet. Stay tuned.......
    1. crpitt
      Hurry up!

    Boobies!!!

    I have gone door to door selling cosmetics for Breast cancer and domestic abuse awareness.
    1. crpitt
      What else would you do? I am doing several sponsored walks next year (I think).
    2. Anok
      Well, I'm gonna do some boob smooshing.

      Does that help?

      I haven't done much in fund raising/volunteer stuff for special needs lately.

      I have been too busy planning the revolution. ( )
    3. olgatravelingbra
      YAY for your boob smooshing!!!
  4. richardm
    crpitt, yes the money is going to charity.
    1. crpitt
      Excellent, that warms my cockles
  5. olgatravelingbra
    Oh I see the question is what WOULD you do....Hmmmmmm, I will need to think about that....
  6. jaffermaniar
    I have yet to do that weirdest thing to raise awareness for breast cancer !
    1. crpitt
      You are smooshing, I hope?
    2. jaffermaniar
      It's going to be blue ! That's all you'll get from me now !

    3. olgatravelingbra
      I KNEW you'd come thru...Blue is a nice color! Very manly.
  7. morgantj
    ow, my eye.
    1. crpitt
      It was very nice of you to donate your eye to charity
  8. Anok
    Now here I thought some daring men would be offering to do the examinations.

    Pansies!
    1. morgantj
      pansie, or pervert... take your pick.
    2. Anok
      Hmmm...my husband would volunteer. I think I'll take "pervert, for $100, Alex"
    3. crpitt
      I thought so too, heh

    I found this post exactly on the same topic that I published a post about a research on, on my blog a few days back, the latest tinyurl.com/636n87 Just want to help share more awareness about our health...there's more that you can do to avert cancers along with these very important self examinations.
    1. olgatravelingbra
      Interesting study...but I drink a LOT of coffee and I'm a healthy DD!
  10. sisterofmercy
    Haha, good idea. My mum shaved her head for Cancer last year, she looked like an alien.
    1. olgatravelingbra
      Yeah for mum!!!
  11. kat822
    thanks for taking up the cause.
    1. olgatravelingbra
      Will you be sending us your Smooshigs?
    2. crpitt
      Its a light hearted way of doing something

      Smoosh away

    Nice one Claire, great doodles too.
    I have not done anything too weird but I did donate a free pet portrait in aid of St Marys Hospice which looks after cancer patients locally. After the loss of my brother I try to support a few cancer based charities, another favorite is Macmillan
    chrissymaries.blogspot.com/2008/05/big-c.html
    The only think I worried about was that I was gonna end up trying paint someone's pet snake, thankfully the guy who won it had a rather gorgeous spaniel.
    1. crpitt
      Thanks for posting that link.

      I have raised a bit of money for my local hospice and the Macmillan charity, after my grandparents died.

      I am very sorry to hear about your brother

      Ever thought about doing the moonwalk? Heard of it?
    2. chrissymarie321
      No Claire, enlighten me?
    3. crpitt
      You get to walk at night in your bra for charity
      www.walkthewalk.org/Home

      There is one in London and one in Edinburgh, they may even be taking it overseas too.

      Its sponsored by Playtex www.playtex.co.uk/moonwalk/

      I have registered to do the Edinburgh one

    I saw a Google logo version for this and posted it here: mulledmadness.blogspot.com/2008/10/breast-cancer-awareness-day.html

    Its a bit insensitive but very clever...
    1. crpitt
      I think it definitely makes a point.
  14. freeatlast
    feel your boobies.

    There I did my part.
    1. freeatlast
      not feel YOUR boobies... but in the general collective your way.

      I sold 3 pink martinis last night... so raised about $30 for the cause...
    2. crpitt
      I cant feel my boobies? Damn

      Huzzah I love pink martinis, also raising money for charity
    3. Anok
      So does that mean I can feel other people's boobies? You know, in a collective sort of way?
    4. crpitt
      As long as its for Breast Cancer awareness
  15. gosmelltheflowers
    Thanks for raising the awareness, never really paid much attention to the health aspects male wise but understand us blokes can be at risk as well......

    2. pointlessbanter
