The Itty Bitty Titty Committee*: Helping to save the world one breast at a time

So the other day I'm stuck behind this SUV in traffic and start reading its bumper stickers, all of which are quite entertaining. But the one that really catches my eye -- and makes me smile -- is "save the ta-tas," which includes a pink ribbon (in support of breast cancer research) and a URL.

Later, at home, curious, I type in the URL, www.savethetatas.com. Turns out, the site is totally legit, on a mission to save as many ta-tas as it can, with "a portion of every sale of [its] ta-tas® brand breast cancer shirts, accessories, and products go[ing] to support breast cancer research and education."

Of course the spouse and I want to do our bit to save the ta-tas, but there are so many ways to show our support, how to choose?

And then, while looking through the save the ta-tas online catalog, which boasts some very impressive ta-tas, we found it, the perfect shirt for yours truly (at left -- and no, that is not me; the spouse nixed me putting up a photo of me in my tank on the blog, though said I could post one on Facebook, privately).

I have yet to wear the tank top, which just arrived, but my little ta-tas and I are happy that we are supporting a noble cause. (And yes, we also support more established breast cancer research efforts like Susan G. Komen for the Cure and several other cancer research institutions and charities.)

If you love ta-tas, please, consider making a donation now. And ladies, make sure to get a yearly mammogram if you are over 40! After all, a breast is a horrible thing to waste.

*Not to be confused with the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee (a MUST for cat lovers).

J - I've seen the tees before - adorable!

My real and spectacular ta-tas are checked every year. It was recommended to me at 35 to have a baseline mamogram and then annually after 40.

Thanks for the reminder to support the girls!!!
