Nice article. Congratulations to Ms. Yund for using her creativity to raise money for Breast Cancer Research.

Please ignore the naysayers, especially those of the Dead Feminists Society and the Etiquette Center. Chances are they have nothin good to say most days anyhow.

The women who chose to pose are brave and simply trying to raise money and awareness. I hope you're not discouraged by these uptight windbags.

A picture of a woman that has had a breast removed would be more effective

I think it is wrong, very distasteful. How would your children feel if their friends start teasing them at school about how your mom/sister/grandmother posed for a calendar.

There are alot of other ways to raise money for awareness this is not one of them.

Oh gosh. Lighten up people.

The reality is that having breast cancer eventually strips all the seriousness out of this stuff. Offensive and a painful reminder, it is not.

Life is too short to think something like this is offensive. It's cute. They're raising money for a disease that removed my right breast. I commend them.

Did your pins raise alot of money for breast cancer research, Barclay? At least you'll sleep well with your etiquette in tact.

Silly.

I think it is a great idea! And if you disagree with how these women are raising money, then don't buy the calendar! More power to them.

What a prude. You probably look like the old hag you sound, and NOBODY would want you in the calendar, because it wouldn`t sell.

These sourpuss feminists would be better people if they learned to mind their own business--look how she is using someone else's work to get some publicity for herself.

I've known her for years and Kris Holmgren has always been a major pain. If it wasn't this she'd whine about something else.

Good for these ladies. Anything that is done to raise awareness and money to work towards a cure is a positive.

So now the ends justify the means?? I guess we can justify anything these days with a clever enough argument. I oppose using "sex as a marketing tool" because of the message it sends our children.

The Yund ladies are beautiful...inside and out. Bravo for baring a little skin in a fun, silly way to save lives. The Dead Feminists Society would be wise to spend their energy and resources in places like Iran, where women really need help overcoming a barbaric gender-class system.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
