Because This Site Would Not Be Complete If I Didn’t Show You My Breasts *updated*
May 11, 2007
UPDATE BELOW
Well you all know I’m a brunette, so that isn’t me.
Read on to find out where my breasts are being exposed!
******************
But first!
Manzini Fund Update, and I have a MISSION for you below whereby you can probably embarrass the shit outta me.
Thank you to whoever nominated this post for a Just Post Award. (Thank you Catherine!)
Thank you also to the astounding and talented Chris at Know It All Moms (and also from Serendipity Mine) for writing a lovely post (and OMG this even MORE lovely post too) directing more people here to help! You said it better than I ever could!
The Manzini Fund is on my mind all day, every day. I think about those mothers, who are urged to breastfeed their children, despite the risk of transmitting HIV. Can you even fathom making that kind of decision? The kids in the orphanage that Chris and Jenn are going to see, have lost their parents so very early. Chris and Jenn emailed me last night with the total so far and I broke down thinking about those kids, their moms and dads, and how much of an impact we can make on their lives.
Here’s the scoop from my Chris, who clearly thinks he is Jennster with the no capital letters thing. Hi Jenn! Aren’t you married yet? Ha ha…love you, wench! (man there are two Chris’ and two Jenns on this post. Anyone need a flowchart?)
Okay the update so far (drumroll please!):
there is no way in hell we would have ever come close to this amount without your help
you’re free to up the current total on your website, and i can always email you updates!
i know that preschool items are in need ( i’m trying to set aside a
few hundred for that)
i just found out today that the kids at the orphanage make bead
jewelery and clay jewelery (sculpey clay?) and sell it for profit for
the orphanage. This ‘Sculpy clay’ does not exist in Swaziland ( or in
south africa ), so they’ve requested that i bring some along .
i’ve got sporting items being donated.
i’ve got educational books / learning to read books on the way
Maybe $5 can buy hope. Maybe $5 can give them something they’ve never
had… something these kids didn’t even know existed…. Maybe $5 can
let them know that, half a world away, there is people that give a
shit about them… people they’ve never met… people they will never
meet… but regardless, they’ll learn that the world is not against
them. And maybe with that hope, and that memory that people in the
west that have everything they’d ever want are willing to give up some
of it for these kids, maybe they will decide that if the world is not
their enemy - they can stay in school rather than live on the street -
they can learn to read and write - they can learn basic nutrition -
they can learn about HIV/AIDS (although, they probably know more about
that than 99% of north americans ).
i don’t know what $5 will buy at the store in Manzini or Mbabane…
perhaps it’s 1 pair of shoes, or 10 books. Maybe it’s 100 rolls of
toilet paper. Or nutritious food.
i’ll get off my soap-box now
i wish i had a solid answer for you - but i won’t make shite up,
cause’ i really don’t know
current total $726.12 USD ( a special shout out to Drinda
in Vancouver for kicking in $100 Amr !! )!
You guys really are amazing. Please please please continue to spread the word, and let’s get that total as high as possible! Five bucks is all I am asking for, remember?
Five Bucks.
I love you guys.
Now here’s the part where you get to have your way with me. I’m trying to think up a dare I can videotape for you guys if we get over a certain amount. Think we can raise $10,000? I wonder.
What daring thing could I do, that would put $10,000 into Manzini?
The very same Chris that is going to Manzini, shaved his HEAD for the B.C. Children’s Hospital in March of this year! Here are the pictures to prove it:
BEFORE: (Isn’t he adorable? He is like a baby brother to me)
AFTER: (He raised $1200 doing this)
I could sing for you. Dance? Gimmie some ideas guys….what daring thing could I do, to make that total at LEAST $10K???
*cringing*
Show you my tits? Oh wait, I’m already doing that.
Watch the Queen of Spain’s blog, where, coming soon, myself and a lot of other women are baring our boobs! We want the anti-public-breastfeeding ignorant fucks to know: they are JUST TITS.
UPDATE: All Hail the TIT BRIGADE! (Obviously not safe for work)

I’m one of the Chris’ and I was even getting confused so I changed my comment name to Christie (that will make my mom sooo happy
Thank you for the very sweet compliments.
They aren’t necessary as it really helped me have a better day yesterday knowing I was helping.
As for video ideas, I have no clue. *sigh* Kiss a Moose? Run down the street dressed like a pickle? Stand in front of a group at Blogher and singing ‘Wind Beneath my Wings’?
Okay. This comment is too long and I suck at ideas
Thank you again and have a great weekend!

They are totally just breasts. It’s a fantastic revolution happening.
Fantastic that there’s so much money being raised for Chris’ trip.
