Tan Nipples are Here!
Tan Nipples are Here!
Photo shoot with Molly (the dolly) |
Now available! Tan
nipples! Oh, come on now, taking the pictures for my handmade items is
always quite challenging and I finally have produced and taken photos of
each scarf color with tan nipples. Molly, my model, was very patient
during the entire session and only got mildly upset when I knocked her
unattached head off. [insert "heads were rolling" joke here]
Hopefully,
I'll get my PayPal drop down boxes updated soon to reflect the new
option and pictures.... yes I need pictures. I did get them up on ebay and Etsy (click a link to view all of the scarves)
Until I get my PayPal "add to cart" format changed, just leave me a message during the checkout process for tan nipples.
NOW AVAILABLE - Tan nipples!! (I can make other nipple colors too) |

There are of course some interesting comments :) Unfortunately there is a bit of poor reporting with this one since for one the the scarves aren't completely knit as the title suggests and secondly it uses another artist's photo as a reference to my Neck Knockers Boob Scarf (I'm pretty sure with her permission too - yikes!) I'll take the exposure, but I'd like to see a bit of writing integrity.

DETROIT RACE FOR THE CURE 2012
May 26, 2012 - What a glorious day to be PINK in the D! The entire morning was a mixture hope and comradery as thousands and thousands took to the streets of Detroit. Walking, running and sharing. This year, I helped set up one of the water stops, then participated in the 5K with the other 30,000 or so walkers and runners. It was all good.

So many people are struck by breast cancer and so many lives affected and lost. Just this past Friday, after my shift at UPS I went into one of the ladies restroom that I never use and there in the locker section sat a young lady crying. I asked her if she was ok, obviously she wasn't, but it was the appropriate opening sentence. She told me that on the way walk in to work she received a phone call telling her that her mom had breast cancer. How awful. She was in so much emotional pain. All I could do was assure her that advances had been made medically to find a cure and that she needs to be strong for her mom. I walked away with a tear in my eye. I can't even imagine getting news like that.
MUSH FOR A CURE 2012
Some folks up in Minnesota participated in "Mush for a Cure" March 9-11, 2012. Despite what I'm sure were nippley conditions, together- with their teams of dogs leading the way- they "mushed" their way to raising $40,000 in support of breast cancer research!!
Nace, a very awesome photographer and entrepreneur, topped off his pink bathrobe ensemble with a Neck Knockers Boob Scarf. Looking good Nace....
