1st Ta Ta Sisterhood Reunion in Vegas

WOO HOO!!  I LOVE IT!!  Such a BADASS and SUCH A BADASS MOMMY!!  YOU ROCK!

Barbe you are so right. I know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so the timing of this trip couldn't be any better, and Ellen does donate alot of time to this cause during the month (she did last year).

Maybe we can contact the local station that airs Ellen and let them know of our plans and maybe they can help us get the ball rolling.  Just a thought.

could someone post that link for the T-Shirts

thanks

It is on page 19. If I knew how to post the link I would (but I don't). I just ordered it and with shipping it comes to $23.95. Viva La Ta Ta's!

I just bought my t-shirt and a tank for fun!!!  I definitely think we need to get some press about this....think of the good it would do.

Bought the t-shirt.... They did not have my size in stock so I bought the next size up and I will dry it to shrink it.  BTW, I used promotion code "uw007" and it saves you 10%.  I figure that is 10% off shipping.  Any little bit helps.

Have a great weekend

gbusse - thanks for the coupon code!  I just posted about 5 minutes ago and it has vanished in cyber space!  Anyway what I was saying is that I am breaking from the traditional and getting the "bad ass" ta ta shirt.  I also have the Warrior tshirt from fordcares.com.  I'm a bit of a fighter when it comes to BC so both kind of mean a lot to me.

Just got my bling save the ta tas shirt and also got an Irish Lucky one on the sale page. Together with my LiveSTRONG shirts I'm covered for the TA TA VEGAS WEEKEND.

Glad to hear you're a BADASS, Journey. We badasses are SURVIVORS and that does mean a lot to us. I love my LiveSTRONG tshirts also. They make me feel strong every time I wear them. And that means a lot to me also.

Journey does kind of look like an astronaut in that new picture, but she's not---she told you---she's a BADASS!!! 

Sorry I didn't even think about telling you all where the web site was-my mind has been else where,but it looks like you all got it-YIPEE!!!  It would be great to get some kind of attention for our gathering if only to show other women we are there for each other!!!   Wearing matching      &nbspT-shirt's & having the button'swith our names will of course get some eye's our way. Still would love to see if Ellen was interested.  A quick question for those of you on Herceptin, I saw another thread & was looking to see some familiar names,but didn't. It's about side effect's-anyone had or having any that posted there?  Just curious  On another note, acouple of you had asked, I didn't have to go back into hospital. They took the pic line out today-MERSA over, just staph now-YEAH.  Thank you

Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie

Linda-I love Hoda and Kathie Lee too. Maybe we can spread the word and see who responds. The Ellen website has a link for "suggestions for a show". I think the Ta Ta's have a suggestion! Maybe when things are finalized, we can email some of the shows and see what kind of responses we get.

I got the Rockin one too.  I am spreading the news on other threads. 

Teresa

WOO HOO!!!  I BOUGHT MY TATA SHIRT!!!!  I couldn't decide which size, but after my tummy tuck I was thinking I would be a bit smaller so I'm hoping I ordered right...if not it will give me incentive right??

Thanks Susie for the heads up on the sale! And thanks GBusse for the promo code!!!  WOO HOO!!!  I got the rockin tatas too!!

Teresa your email must have helped because there were plenty in both sizes I was shopping for..(large and xl)!

THE TA TA SISTERHOOD ROCKS!

OK ladies, by sheer coincidence I have a friend who just started working as some sort of entertainment reporter for the Examiner in Vegas.  I could put him on this, but I want to ask you a couple of things first...

1- I don't know that he can actually be helpful.  He's selling an e-book online about using Craigslist to make money.  He's also a genuinely nice guy whose sister had a rough bout with colon cancer.  I am sure he'd like to make some connections, do some reporting, win/win.

2- Are you absolutely sure you want to go public?  Anyone see the Bob Newhart Show episode where they all wanted to do a group session on TV, but once it was happening they were mortified.  Aside from your privacy you are putting the media wanks in charge of what's said and how it's said and shown to the world.  Once you give them your time and let them record you, they can do anything with it.  Although I think you are pretty safe with Oprah or Ellen.

Lemme know if you want me to put you in touch with my friend.  

Oh and I bought the Laughter Heals shirt, 'cause I'll be walking with my kid on the streets of NYC and I already get enough trouble from my big ta tas

Okay...I'm not often the first one to open my month.  Been WAITING for some TATA sisters to jump in here and save me from myself ,but alas that has not happened...yet.  So here goes.  Rachel you bring up some excellent questions in your post about your writer friend.  I quote - Are you absolutely sure you want to go public?

I struggle with that.  No, I don't want to go public when I can't control the outcome as you also pointed out.  Yes, I want women (and men) to see all of us beautiful ladies in Vegas and want to share our story with any that want to know.  But, this is Vegas we are talking about.  The city that never sleeps and has thousands of groups traipsing up and down her streets any given day many wearing group t-shirts.  We may sadly just be part of the crowd.  Is that a bad thing? Not to me because I am making the trip to meet and get to know many of the women on this board even better.  Several of these women have been with me on at least one leg of my trip in bc land and I have a wonderful connection with them.  Now, having said that I would say I am not opposed to a celeb invitation but would suggest we be very judicious about whom.  Oprah - no.  I was so disgusted with her coverage last October. (sorry Oprah fans).  Ellen - she is an dynamic soul who tends to cross several boundaries of interest.  I like the fact that she is so open and seems to truly care but to be honest I have not seen many serious pieces on her show.  My vote would be for Robin Roberts (GMA) and only because she is a bc survivor.  She had the wind sucked out of her body just as each of us did when we heard those words " you have cancer".  I would hope she could put together a decent piece with some teeth to it.

Okay - off my soap box.  Next!

Another thought... I have gotten press for my events before, and its usually because of a charity aspect.  I do not mean to say that anyone here has to give any thing more- far from it.  But there are other ways to be pro-active.  When you do things with a charitable focus, the media generally handles you differently.  Best is when you can write your own articles, and I know at least one of the gals attending is a professional writer.  I just saw the post here about the 10 year old girl, Hannah, with breast cancer in LA.  A tattoo parlor is offering special $20 pink ribbon tattoos, and also airbrushing, which is temporary instead of a tattoo.  

Just another thought for y'all... another way to maybe get what you want done and said...

but be sure of this... if you get together and enjoy each other, that alone is reason enough to say ViVA les TATAS baby!!!!
