Ok, so I’ve been asked to spill the beans on this, so here you go…
Crystal Claire and I were mucking about on facebook the other day and she made a comment about my bazongas which were up as my profile pic, we had a laugh about it and then came to the very serious conclusion that cracking as our respective norks were, we should put them to better use and start a pro bf thing of some sort. So I took it upon myself to do so. I set up a facebook page here,
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=149938988350396&ref=ts
and we got lots of followers within a day or so. It’s still going strong. I then set up a website, http://www.boobsforbabes.com and it explains what we’re doing.
Essentially, Claire came up with the idea of a calendar showing lovely pics of breastfeeding moment between mamas and babies or littlies. We are shooting it in a similar vein to the Women’s Institute calendar - quite cheekily posed and styled with humour and wit. The models will be nude but covered artfully by objects, much like the WI one where they covered the ladies boobs with buns and flowers etc. We will sell this for a tenner a go, posted.
The money will go to various breastfeeding peer support groups, cafes and for training lactation consultants and breastfeeding counsellors both here and hopefully abroad in future. We’re fundraising right now to get £1000 together so that I can pay for the travel for the models and their babes can get to the London venue where the shoot, at the moment we have about £150, which is great but time’s marching on and we need the rest ASAP! Nevertheless, the lovely models are all raring to go , the venue’s booked, the stylist and photographer are booked and it’s all free, everyone’s waived the fees as it’s for this campaign.
I’m selling logo spaces on the actual pages of the calendar for £100 a throw, so if anyone with a company wants a space, please email me at and I’ll tell you how to sort it out.
Ok, well, I think that’s it for now, please have a look at the site and make a donation if you can.
Cheers,
