Books on bOObs: A Guide to Your Girls

The Boob Lady nearly busted out of her bra when she found this 2007 wall calendar for her Boob Cave! I’d been looking at several breast-baring timekeepers and found many celebrating our girls, but most favored a similar breast size, shape, and age. This “mammist” view of the world seemed a bit unreal—and not very friendly and inclusive (a lot like walking into an ice cream store only to discover one, albeit tasty, flavor available).  

Fortunately, Sue Richards, founder of Breast of Canada, has captured the unlimited spirit of women’s breasts in the beautiful 2007 Breast of Canada Calendar. It contains a wonderful variety of topless poses, from humorous and casual, to sensual and serious; each month more inspiring than the last. And Breast of Canada is filled with useful boob info, including helpful quotes, statistics, and even a picturesque breast self-exam chart. Plus, all proceeds benefit breast health.

If you’re a boob admirer, please order this calendar today. Give it as a gift to the boobs you love best, whether yours or those of a breast friend. It’s sure to provide an uplifting start to your New Year!

October is awash in pink ribbons, urging us to take care of our breast health or help support the cause of finding a cure for breast cancer. But for some, it’s also a devastating reminder of their own battle with the disease. In this month’s Glamour magazine, you’ll find Kelly Corrigan’s touching story of survival. At 36 years of age, she was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer. Kelly writes a powerful essay about how spotting pink ribbons all around her was “enough to make [her] scream.”  Reading her story will give you special insight into the reaction one breast cancer survivor has to the “pinking” of October. 

Kelly’s essay is part of Circus of Cancer, a great site for those wishing to support friends diagnosed with breast cancer. Here you’ll find advice on what to say; how you can help (from cooking a meal to buying her a front-closure bra); to what to expect when she undergoes breast cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy.  The site includes sassy, free e-cards, and gifts you won’t find anywhere else. It may not be wrapped in pink, but Circus of Cancer does offer concrete ways to help friends, and their families.

Breast cancer is scary, but thanks to modern medical science, less deadly. Don’t let the pink season get you down. Keep in touch with your own girls and the latest in breast cancer research, all year round.

What woman likes to get a mammogram? It’s a procedure few of us relish:  a stranger pokes and pulls, and finally squishes each of our breasts between two hard plates of plastic. We may find it painful, uncomfortable, or simply annoying. Standing half-naked in an overly chilled room (best for the equipment), our arm is positioned at some oddly tortuous, unnatural angle, while we watch the equipment flatten us like pancakes. We’re then asked to “please, hold your breath.” Let’s face it, this is no way to treat our “girls.” (more…)

According to Check Your Boobies, 8 out of 10 women don’t do regular breast self-exams. If you need some motivation, check out their site and sign up for a free monthly email reminder. Go ahead: make a date with your girls. (Something more than a drive-through meal — maybe dinner, candleight and a bubble bath.) You’ll be glad you did.
