Before this all gets moderated away, you girls are missing the mark, it needs to be in the same style, therefore, it should properly be, "I heart jockey gerbils".


I'd like to add another perspective, it's important to consider the demographics of the audience for vinyl jewelry, kids. Normal kids respond to whatever (they think) outrages adults— right at the edge of just-about-wrong. While there can be no question that there is the childish response initially, it is still putting the notion of breast cancer in their minds. That's all it's supposed to do, the method is reaching the intended audience where it tickles their hormonal little fancies.

When I think of all the far worse things I was exposed to at that age, this matter is so trivial, it's scarcely worth consideration.

I watched my best friend from college die a slow, agonizing death from it. I also watched her young daughters try to make sense of their world as it came undone. Their mom took special care to keep the humor about the whole thing, including pulling them from school to go shopping for wigs and "fake boobs" (prosthetics). The girls knew in their hearts that it was horrid, their mom knew they needed to laugh. All these years later they still tell the funny stories in their respective fund-raising/awareness campaigns.

Kids aren't stupid, they're horny and cocky and will do anything for attention. The bracelet is a lot like the kids.

Elbow, ankle, knee, finger, buttocks, ear, thigh, it's all the same. Just a part of the whole. Boobies don't deserve any special reverence or to be deified in my opinion.

Thumbs up

I had a customer wearing one today. They're similar to the pink bracelets but they'll get more attention from the kids just like AMN said. It's a good idea! Kids need to know that this can and does happen! Maybe it will get them thinking of ways to try to prevent the big C by checkups and/or lifestyle changes, etc...

LOL! But I do love balls! How about: "I jewels"

In all seriousness, it really is a simple gesture.

Ps: Get your minds out of the gutter. I like my Downy ball and my basketball and my dryer ball. You get it. Haha

What Cindy says makes alot of sense. Hard as it is to admit she is, once again, right ........she's convinced me that it's all the same in the end. As long as people get the message that's what really matters.

**Just for the record, though......I was never cocky.**
