FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bloggers Bare All For Breast Cancer Research


It's time for the Third Annual Blogger Boobie-Thon!


OCTOBER 1, 2004 -- For the third year in a row, bloggers all over North America are baring it all for breast cancer research until October 10. Founded by Florida blogger Robyn Pollman (http://www.shutterblog.com) in 2002, the Blogger Boobie-Thon has since grown into something much bigger... as boobies often do when they mature. The first $359 raised every year is donated to a worthy blogger's charity, and this year San Diego blogger Joelle's (http://www.tenth-muse.com) AIDS Walk and Rock the Walk (http://www.rockthewalk.org) has been chosen. The rest of the funds raised will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (http://www.komen.org).

The 2003 Boobie-Thon raised over $7000 total, and was featured in the February 2004 issue of Self magazine, as part of the "Body Confidence Awards." This year, the founders and participants hope to break that record. In the first twenty-four hours since the kickoff of the Third Annual Boobie-Thon, the total raised was over $1500 (http://www.boobiethon.com/covered/000034.html).

Female and male bloggers alike submitted photographs of their breasts, both bare and covered, for the cause. The covered (yet sexy) breasts are featured on a free, public, possibly-not-work-safe area of the site. However, if viewers would like to see the BARE breasts, they must first donate at least $50 to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, then submit a copy of their e-receipt (with sensitive information taken out, of course) to the coordinators of the Boobie-Thon. They will then be sent a secret URL with a login and password to the "pay-per-boob" site.

All donations are tax-deductable and "supporters" get a little sompin' sompin' in return: BOOBIES GALORE!! Big boobs, small boobs, covered boobs, BARE boobs, MAN BOOBS, boobs of all colors, flavors, and shapes, and sizes.

"How did this Boobie-Thon come about, anyway?" Is a common question. California blogger Mikey (http://www.electricbugaloo.com) has a recap of the history of the Boobie-Thon at: http://www.electricbugaloo.com/feh/004642.html.

So why not give up that DVD you were going to buy off Amazon, your usual $5 coffee drink, that ridiculously expensive shirt/pair of pants/undies/shoes/etc., and instead give that money to a good cause?

The Boobie-Thon participants promise you'll feel better about yourself after doing it.
