When my parents came to visit me last December, my Dad had his head completely shaved. He did it in solidarity with our friend Therese who was losing her hair to chemo treatments. Therese’s husband Bertrand also shaved his head. When Dad shaved his head, he got Mum to take a picture and send it to my sisters. They didn’t send it to me because they were coming to visit and they wanted to surprise me. Anyway. My Dad wanted to take this picture and add the words: Support Breast Cancer. Look like a tit!
I’m looking for a funny–but respectful–costume to wear around Petaluma in hopes people (complete strangers) will see the humour and donate to my cause. I thought I could find some rubber boobs and incorporate them into some sort of costume. My brother-in-law said I should get those vests with fake boobs that they give to men in pregnacy classes so they can experience boobs and babies. I could get one of those and take it around and get some guys to try it on. I could get some donations out of that. That might be funny. I could get a big boob and wear it like a hat. That would be funny. Where would I get a boob big enough for my head?
Oh well. It seems like I’m going to have to think on it a bit more. Before I go out there and make a fool — ooops, a boob– out of myself, I want to be prepared.
As someone who has just completed prenatal classes, the best place to buy a boob – or just about anything really – is ebay. Search for breasts. I just did! I was hoping for knitted ones, because that’s what we used in prenatal class. But, I suppose life-like and silicone would do…:)
