"Altered Awear-ness"....




Let's all face it...having your "twins" pressed between a "vice" yearly isn't the most pleasant thing to do...but every year in November I am reminded about how blessed I am to have healthy breasts. It's not like I look forward to it, but it is in someways a "privilege" that we all have the knowledge and technology to keep us safe and fit and to detect anything that might be "out of the norm" in our tissues....so my dear friends, those I haven't yet met but "feel" through the net waves and those that I share laughter and life with, PLEASE get your yearly Mammograms done and know that you are doing everything you can to help the experts detect and keep us all healthy, knowing it is up to us to take care of our own bodies. Awareness....self exams....yearly mamo's.....it's all up to us to educate and make everyone around us safe and free of breast cancer.
So in honor of Susan G. Koman and her sister Nancy G. Brinker, I altered this bra in hopes that when one sees this here on my blog...they will remember to have their own mamo done this year and that they will remind all others that they care about and know...to have theirs as well....:o) Be healthy my friends...

Jann, this is so fab-U-lous! I was looking at the pics on the beach, before I knew who made it, thinking "this has Jann's hands all over it!!!" That made me giggle, (bra, hands all over) anyway, when I saw it was yours I laughed out loud. I love your creative spirit. Thank you for reminding me to make my appt. Hugs from Oregon
