The Spirit of Breast Cancer

October, National Breast Cancer month. Pink hair dryers, pink straightening irons, pink chocolate, pink biscuits, pink clothes, pink shoes and now... just when you thought they couldn't possibly make ANYTHING else pink, we bring you.. the pink airplane. Well I did search high and low for a pic for you but unfortunately was unsuccessful. Just so you know there is one out there, so when you see a pink object flying over you on the weekend, that's what it is...just flying domestically.

I have to say I am loving the spirit of us Aussies, getting behind every aspect of the breast cancer campaign. Only thing that kind of annoys me is that there are ALOT more cancers out there, apart from breast cancer. We're not as well educated about them as breast cancer which is a bit sad. While breast cancer affects alot of Australian and worldwide families and is responsible for 2,600 deaths every year (in Oz) there are also alot of other cancers that are responsible for affecting our loved ones. For example, bone cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, throat cancer, lung cancer, etc. I'm not going to go into every single one right now but I think we must also spare a thought for those who are suffering any kind of cancer at all.

In the spirit of breast cancer month (October) which is now, why not invite your girlie pals over for a Pink Party and raise some much needed funds for a much needed cause. You can head down to your local Michel's Patisserie and purchase as many pink frosted cupcakes as you like, (and let me tell you they are yummy) coz I may have tried one or three - haha! They also have the cutest frosted pink ribbon on them (which is also extra tasty!)! Then you can head down to your local bottle-O and grab a couple of bottles of Pink champagne. When your down there (and while you're in the pink mood) why not pick up a new Bopo card (the new VISA for kids who want to have a credit card without having to mortgage your myspace profile for one), they come in pink too (pictured) head to for more details.
