The fabulous Olga the Travelling Bra and her friend Claire have had a wonderful idea for breast cancer awareness month.
Basically, in support of this worthy cause, you cover your boobs in paint, smoosh ‘em artistically on a piece of paper. And Voila!
I must thank a hugely enthusiastic LB for his help with the paint, the photography and, particularly, the washing off of the paint. What a generous, loving, sweet boy he is.
If you want to join in, I’ve sneakily cut and paste the details below – and although the deadline for the prizes is tomorrow, is now the 7th November, there’s no reason why this can’t continue just for fun and awareness.
Please also take a moment to have a gander at the “how to self-examine your boobies” doodles on both Claire’s site and the “Smoosh your Boobies” site. I for one want to hang on to my girls for as long as I can.
* In memory of my own bright, lovely, much-missed Claire, who lost her fight with breast cancer in 1997.
How to SMOOSH YOUR BOOBIES:
1. Tape a piece of paper to the wall, at boobie height (on the floor works too)
2. Choose your color(s) of paint
3. Apply paint to bare boobies with a soft brush, fingers, sponge, or whatever
4. Smoosh your boobies onto the paper (you might want to experiment a little with holding them together and/or guiding them into place)
5. Repeat as necessary until desired effect is achieved
6. Shower
7. Take a picture or scan your smooshed-boobies print(s)
8. And email it to Claire or Olga no later than Thursday, October 30th (Include your name/blog’s url if you want a link back)….oooh, this has been extended to the 7th of November!
We will post them all here on Smoosh Your Boobies! on Halloween, October 31st the 7th November..feel free to post your Smooshed Boobies-Print on your blog too!
Prizes will be awarded for best Smooshed Boobies-Print, most original, most life-like, best use of color, etc!
Awesome idea – I shall smoosh mine this afternoon.
Yes, but is it Art?
@ Rox > YAY! It’s so, so, so much fun!
@ Kyk > damn right it is…my girls would smote your eyes!
will see if i can persuade the BF to help me with this one…
Brilliant! Now, where is that pile of edible body paint? May try to do something tonight! Woo hoo! BOOBIES!
…your Smooshed Boobies are udderly FANTASTIC!!!
And an inspiration to us all! THANKS for participating!
xoxo
@ ExMi > I’m *sure* he’s be happy to oblige? Can’t wait to see the pics!
@ Dais > That’s what *I* thought, but had to settle for Mondrian-esque poster paint (thanks LB…I’d have been playing with chilli sauce otherwise, and that could have been ugly!)
@ Olga > Only my pleasure…it was huge fun…and I really hope the meme heads out there.
LOL, can’t think how well this would work with my non-existant bewbs!! But I’m willing to give it a bash!
We will be extending the deadline to submit Smooshings until Nov 7th…in case you want to update your post! Thanks!
( . Y . )
Hooray for boobies! Thanks for joining in on this
Hopefully more smooshing will flood in now that deadline is extended, but we have exciting plans for future smooshes too 
I am sorry to hear about your Claire.
should the boys play too or just watch… and drool…?
smooshing is self examination.
an unexamined life is not worth living.
@ Jents > I reckon you could get some really cool smooshes…and your nipples won’t be pointing South South East. *sigh*
@ Olga > updated with glee!
@ Claire > thanks – and it’s my absolute pleasure – I’m not usually into meme-age, but this one gets my full, under-wired support
@ Gnu > Oh no, boys can play too – we definitely need some male chest action…go on, Gnu, start somethin’!
@ Sera > And a dangerous one, if you see the stats.
the plan is great
but I can’t participate
my next incarnation
will make boobs a realization
@ Zee > Welcome! I think any kind of incarnation could participate in support. Just smoosh whatever you’ve got
