You're not going to believe this....
but I got this email tonight from one of the photographers I've worked with:
--------------------------------------------------
Hey Angela
We were invited to participate in the Tata Gala http://tatagala.org/ specifically as a result of one of your photographs. [Name Omitted] and I were wondering if you would be interested in doing a topless shoot for a single photograph that is to be printed specifically and only for this gallery show that is a benefit for breast cancer research and is going to be a pretty big shindig. If the photo does not sell in the show we will give you the framed print to keep as well as all of the original digital negatives ( we keep nothing ) Interested?

Wow... so yeah. I need to think about this. The issue isn't my comfort with nudity. The issue is whether I'm willing to go topless to raise money for breast cancer. I'm totally honored and blown away that I'm being asked to do this. I'm completely comfortable with myself, but there are some companies that won't touch you as a model once you've done nudity.
*sigh*
And the deadline for submission is November 10th, so I have to make a decision quickly. Advice, please. I'm sleeping on it.
