Pinktober Revolution

Excellent shirts, people!! Keep posting!!

The white shirt was my own idea, had it printed at a local tshirt shop. Big Frog in Clearwater. Feel free to do your own!!

The black shirt was on line from what on Earth.

Both were about $20 each.

Nice shirt, Scrunch! You had that made? Very cool.

Scrunch,

great shirt!!! One of my nurses keeps trying to get me to go to one of those events..but I say NO,NO,NO

Big Frog in Clearwater would make it. They're on line. I've had several shirts made there.

As a guy with BC, I wear this one.

So this Oct 3 is an upcoming event? Where? I'd more likely want to do lunch.

Sent you a pm

One of my friends posted this one . I , being a newer to pledge into the pick crap, feel friends will overwhelm me with pink things this year. Hell my mom got me a pink ribbon make up bag *barf* Soooooo Ill be going thru October in true goth form.... all black..black cats, bats, and all things Halloween!

These are great!! Shall we together design one for BCO?

Yes!!

I am loving the shirts and the memes. I have launched a pre pinktober rant on my FB page, so all of my clueless (and most of us are until it happens to us) friends can perhaps get with the program. I am lifting these images shamelessly.. Hope nobody minds.

I'm reposting this from the Insomniacs thread. I do have a question on my new marketing materials though for you legalists - can I show my chest if it's without a boob, without a nipple on a fake boob and what if we want to show a deflated penis? I know where I can get all 3!

Everyone on BCO has taught me a lot about marketing since I joined cancer land. I still like pink and my support group does pink things. I do have a couple blush pumpkins I put out for myself. But I do that for me - sort of my Emmy. We have a Kroger here that contains a small jewelry store and of course I was looking at a pink necklace for a whole other reason. A lady working there asked me if I was buying it for BC Awareness month. When I told her no, it led to some chatter between us. Long story short, she had been told twice to have a biopsy and hadn't done it because of insurance. She also was convinced the doctor just wanted more money. I offered to show her my chest if it would increase her "awareness" and probably scared the chit out of her. I offered her money to help, to help her with the insurance as my nephew is a family doctor (his wife died of BC), whatever to get her into action. I don't know, she didn't seem very concerned. I'll check back on her soon.

I do like pink. I like purple too. It stands for epilepsy and I've had two seizures. So, I don't mind colors being used. But, I dislike the pretty version that is sold. I think we should show more reality than we do. I've learned through all of you to be more sensitive and have become more sensitive to the foolish banter I hear and read. I just cancelled a neighborhood event for BC because it wasn't coming together right. It's like any disease in this country, you have to provide a song and dance to get a donation. I prefer to donate to an individual if they need help or a research hospital. I pulled out of all Komen events much to the surprise of my support group. But, I don't hate pink. I like to think it has helped in many ways and has went so far now that there is no way in heck people are going to reverse their thinking of that color. What we need to do is find better and smarter ways to do something with pink. Like me buying that pink Mustang and riding around topless!!!!

My husband has prostrate cancer several years back and I didn't see jock straps flying or penis's flying around on banners. So, not sure how we got our breasts plastered, calling them tatas and whatevers, every place I look. I think I'm going to start a new line of marketing materials! Love all you guys.
