Kick Cancer's Ass

Taking a moment to plug a worthy project.

If your friend had cancer, would you strip naked and pose for a benefit calendar? I thought you might.

If the idea of real cheesecake featuring real women posing for a worthy cause appeals to you, go take a look at limeproject.org, where you can meet Heather, who has Hodgkin's lymphoma, and her brave friends who have decided that the best way to help with her medication bills is to get nekkid.

These are not your usual bikini model types. They're everyday people, folks like you and me. Some are older, some are fat, some are mothers, some are cancer survivors, some are creative types, some are business women, and a large percentage of them are self-described geeks. All are doing a really great thing to help a friend.

onceupon recounts the tale of how having naked pictures taken of her fat body did not kill her, and I think it's a worthy read, as well as a worthwhile cause. More about the genesis of the idea can also be found here.

Naked fat women. I'm all for it. Spread the word.
