Pink Isn't Just Pretty

I know I generally stick to posting about my art on here, but there are other things that are just as important to me. As any of my friends and family or anyone who's seen me walking down the street knows, I love the color pink. This adoration for the color is one of my more eccentric characteristics. Pink isn't just a shallow, girly fluke in my personality, however, because pink has a message. Breast cancer awareness and research is probably my favorite cause. On the bulletin board above my desk, I have created a little "girl power" space that displays some of the women I admire and some of the ways I can help support the cause. It helps remind me everyday how lucky we are to be women today. The most valuable part of the current breast cancer awareness campaigns is the message for women to empower themselves. Expose the Truth.

This is the newest addition to my wall, provided by Alex Gracey. It's a Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel, but this one's got some glam as part of the NFL's contribution to the cause.

For all your futures, men and women, educate yourself about breast cancer. Learn how to check for it, learn how it happens, how it's being treated, who it's affecting, and learn what's the latest news. Then educate your friends, partners, family. It's the first and most important step to eliminating breast cancer. Let's rock this bitch.
