Show Us Your Boobies!

OK. Not technically. :p

(I got that line from a really bad, but funny, horror flick called "Psyclops".)

A couple of Etsy folks I know (Sarahinflorida and MissKnits) are holding a creative challenge on Etsy in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is in October.

Here's what they had to say:
Here's the deal..... You must create something new (not already made or listed) that is Booby themed. It can be anything you want! (pasties, bras, maybe a nipple hat?) But it must be made and listed by 5pm etsy time on September 20th. You may create more than one item for this challenge - but only one can be submitted for votes. You also must agree, that if you sell your item (or items) that the proceeds are donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. This Challenge is not about winning this time, its about giving back! My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and i think most of us know a love one who has gone through this! From September 20th, til noon Sunday September 28th, we will keep a thread going with all our entries, so people can come in and vote on them and hopefully support the cause and buy! Everyone will be allowed 1 vote! However,for everyone of your items that sell you will get another 5 votes. (hope that makes sense) Because again, you can make more than one item for this challenge! We do have a prize for the winner! to be announced! This is an open contest! Anyone and everyone is welcome to enter! There will be no cutoff, because this is for charity! So lets make it huge and get a lot of donations! So Who's in?

This is a wonderful cause, so please check out the Etsy forum thread and participate if you can.

Have a great day!

P.S. This just in...
MissKnits says your challenge item can also be pink or pink ribbon-themed. :)
