Now will only work for out 1/30th of women. You need do it at the same point in your cycle and compare with what you remember from last time, paying attention to anything that feels new, different or odd. It's not all about lumps. Boobs are naturally lumpy.

Although as I understand it, the current thinking in the medical profession is that self examination is not necessarily a good thing as women often miss subtle changes and are lured into a false sense of security because they self-examine, so don't go to the doctor as often as the hould and what they missed has longer to fester.

Regarding the art thing.... Meh. Lots of people use good causes as a medium to push work that is otherwise commercially unsaleable Its not the best, but its for a good cause so someone will buy it and I'll be a commercial artist. It's a portfoio/resume thing.

Regarding the charity thing ....Breast Cancer Awareness is the new Starving Children in Africa. Boobs are cute and innocent, eveyone loves boobs, they don't contain shit like colons, they don't smell like homeless people...... Great star to hitch your wanne-be-known-for-my-charity-work wagon to. And a month of pink shit? Overkill. A day would suffice. A week if you must. But a whole month every year? Who is not yet aware of the stupid stinking nasty fuckroach of a disease? A whole month of breast cancer awareness and pink shit serves to make it easier to ignore. White noise. Too much dilution.

Howzat?

Yep, thought so, you prefered it when I said nothing.
