The Seventh Annual Blogger Boobie-Thon 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

2008 Blogger Boobie-Thon It’s that time of year again to snap a picture of your boobies and submit it to the girls at Boobie-Thon. Every year, for the past 6 years these girls have worked around the clock generating awareness for breast cancer research and the Susan G. Komen foundation.

It’s a given fact that men like boobies, and men will pay to see boobies. Heck even woman appreciate a great rack once and awhile.

I’ve always thought this was such a unique idea, and a great way to raise money. Just look at the totals they have raised for breast cancer research over the years.

EDIT 2008 $9,300.00!!!!!!

2007- $5,666.00
2006 – $9260.50
2005 – $9240.40
2004 – $8696.30
2003 – $7045.45
2002 – $1610.00

There are a few ways that you can participate in the 2008 Blogger Boobie-Thon:

Submit a “covered” picture of your breast to be displayed on the public website.
Submit a “bare-boobie” picture of your breast to be displayed on the private website.
Donate money for breast cancer awareness.
Donate $50.00 or more and receive password access to the Pay-Per-Boobie Gallery which hosts bare-boobie photographs.

And yep, I donated my picture again this year to the covered gallery. Go see if you can find me. HA!

What a great idea! My mom was just diagnosed the spring. She just underwent her 2nd chemo.

It sounds like a bit of fun. I will consider this, but I had a bit of trouble finding info on the website. How long is it open for?

i’ve never heard of this before either, but it’s a pretty awesome idea.

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 6:26 am

Ferox – It’s in the banner at the top of the site, Oct 12t-7th.

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 6:27 am

Hey Julie, it’s wonderful you are taking part in the boobie-thon. The name alone will surely make it a tremendous success!

mistipurple on 6 October, 2008 at 8:20 am

The boobs are doing a great job in creating awareness.

gina on 6 October, 2008 at 9:26 am

This is the first time I have heard of this, and its a great idea. Not sure about baring my breasts on the Internet though.

I never knew about this! I knew that October is breast cancer awareness month. What an awesome way to raise more funding.

Mark on 6 October, 2008 at 11:04 am

Great idea for raising awareness of this awful disease and credit to you for participating. My wife had a scare last year after her initial scan and she was recalled, she was absolutely petrified for a week until she had further investigation and was given the all clear.

Thanks Heather! Are you going to “donate” also?

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 11:30 am

Gina – the main area that isn’t password protected is “covered boobies.” My picture is just cleavage in a low cut dress

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 11:33 am

Karen – I’m happy I could bring awareness to you, now go donate!

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 11:34 am

Mark – been there done that, and it is the most awful waiting period I have ever gone through. I’ve had four scares in the last 10 years, but knock on wood, I’m fine, and I’m happy to hear your wife is also.

windyridge on 6 October, 2008 at 12:50 pm

What a great idea! And quite amusing too.

Paunchiness on 6 October, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Count me in…although I don’t think to many people will be interested in a photo of my man-boobs.

windyridge – it is quite amusing!

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Paunchiness – did you look at the site? There are plenty of man boobs also!

Jules on 6 October, 2008 at 3:21 pm

mistipurple – they are currently only $64 more dollars to go until they hit $8,000!!

daria369 on 6 October, 2008 at 6:17 pm

Well, I have to admit that this is one truly unique idea – and I’m glad it’s working!

Connie on 6 October, 2008 at 8:27 pm

Real unique way to make money for research. I’m so slow that I just learned about it today. I did write a post about donating directly to Susan G. Koleman site though. I’m trying! Thanks for your effort my friend!
