Going Topless for a Good Cause
I need all the women 18 and older to take off their shirts and their bras and take a photo. We are collecting photos so we can save the world from breast cancer.
We are going to gain free mammograms for poor women without insurance. We will have a link up in the post and by clicking on the link, we gain donations to help gain free mammograms for poor women without insurance.Here is a sample photo of what we are looking for: Link THE LINK IS NSFW – NOT SAFE FOR WORK SO DON’T HIT ON IT IF IT WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE.
So if you are interested in helping, just send me a topless photo or send me a private message if you have any questions.
Plus, this year we will have a special gamer girl section if you want to be in that too.
We are thinking about doing a guy’s section too.
Recommend this post to help get the word out.
Would you go topless for a good cause?

depends on the cause
Hell yes, I already told you I’d do this. Gotta figure out what controller(s) to pose with though.
That’s like porn for cancer. No thanks.
Only if my fiance approved.
no i would not.
Still on the fence if I want to or not.
I love the idea of the cause, just not sure if I have the balls…errrr…breasts?
i question the validity of this.
Guys need to enter this.
Just out of curiosity, how does this raise money for mammograms? Do you have any data on how much money you raised in previous years through this?
Special gamer girl section?? What is that all about??
@ItIsAllGravy - That’s my question.
@ArmyDoll - It’s a good cause, but as a critical thinker, the data would be interesting.
I agree with Name_Isnt_Rio…
and I would like to second ItIsAllGravy
Why the heck would taking a topless picture raise money for mammograms? Besides, I can think of a lot less trashy ways to fundraise…
I mean if girls want to show their tits I don’t think less of them I just don’t see how it relates to breast cancer and if somehow these pictures are being sold then isn’t that porn?
No I wouldn’t
@ItIsAllGravy - @ArmyDoll - @psycocrazypony -
What we do is provide a link for people to click on. There is an organization that gives money for every click that hits that link. So the photos are not sold. We gain the free mammograms from the clicks on the link. The boobs just provide the attention to the cause.
I will bare my chest for Xang…erm, I mean, cancer.
tell me more about the gamer girl section…. but def not interested in showing the world my goodies.
Lol!! seriously? …oh my..
@TheTheologiansCafe - Is there a dollar amount to how much was raised? I’m not doubting you, just wondering.
Im skeptical about sending it to YOU or just some website… but I would do it if I knew it was legit.
Can I just surreptitiously take photos of my one night stands while they are asleep?
the answer is still no
It depends.
maybe if I had some persuading from you, dan.
Sorry Dan, but this is something I never understood:
How the fuck is looking at tits on the internet going to cure cancer?
You could just post up a donation, but are the tits necessary? Unless you got pictures of girls showing their deformed/ tumor-covered boobies, then I don’t see the point.
Unless the cure for breast cancer is linked to how many people see your ta-tas over the internet by taking pictures of them, I won’t get it.
I would. And I did. =D
So…how are you going to gain donations?
No. I’ve given this some long hard thought since last year’s fund raiser.
I think you’re exploiting us, Dan! We can still donate money to breast cancer research (through the same site) without showing you our tits. If you want it to be sexy, it could be a photo of our favorite bra. Better yet, how about a photo of the favorite woman in our lives or of someone we know who survived or died of breast cancer!
(heh, heh, I just remembered my profile pic is of breasts!!! but it’s a detail (close up) of a model I painted at the National Academy, so it’s not exploitation, lol).
I don’t need boob pics to click a link. I’m not so starved for attention and approval that I will post my boobs online for strangers to gawk at. I suggest a clean version, or appending the donation link to every post you put up for the month of October, for those of us who are not interested in participating or in looking.
I’m with a lot of people on this, why not just post the link with the same provacotive title?
I’m also wondering what happens to the photo(s) once they’re sent to you.
There’s too much grey area surrounding this for me to be gung-ho about it.
There are far more, better, more tasteful ways to go about raising money for breast cancer – which is a great cause.
yeah right its for breast cancer LOL wana persuade me?
No…I have been around the block a few times…and the answer is definately…No
@cmdr_keen - I completely agree. I know one city had women donate bras so they could hang them off one of the cities bridge a couple weeks before the walk for breast cancer. That is far more better then just flashing one’s ‘tits’ so to speak.
My favorite time of year!
It is a very good cause. My grandmother had a masectomy because of breast cancer and I had a lump found in my breast over a year ago, thankfully it ended up being just a fibroid. But, I don’t feel comfortable showing total strangers my titties. Not to mention it’d be quite obvious which were mine because of a tattoo I have that is on my chest. Plus, I don’t think my husband would be very pleased and I would never just do that without telling him either. I know I’d be absolutely furious if it were the other way around and he did something like that, whether he told me or not. Good luck though!
Nope don’t show my boobs to anyone but Derek. He’s lucky he gets to see them
It will be interesting to see if Dan will post a response blog to the majority of comments here. If it really was about raising money for breast cancer, the link would already be a part of this post. Also, breast cancer receives so much attention already that the prognosis for those diagnoised is actually rather good.
Why not raise money for the little-known, yet devestating cancers which have low survival rates, no matter how soon it’s caught? I.e. pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer? Or are pictures of someone’s abdomen not good enough?
Methinks this is just a cover to get cheap thrills under the guise of a good cause – because lets face it, who doesn’t want to be a part – no matter how small – of curing cancer?
My opinion is that Dan’s exploitating the woman of Xanga through his popularity and tenure on the site. If anyone else was trying to do this, they’d be shot down viciously and continously.
@ItIsAllGravy - Actually, the site had spikes two years ago when he did this, so it did help probably. then again, maybe it was just cause it was October (breast Cancer month)
I think it’s a great cause. Once I have time (this weekend) I will participate.
lol, you can tell all the newbies who havent been here the last two or three years when dan has done this. This is nothing new people! lol
15, not legal.
even if i was, nah.
i’m saving myself.
Haha. I have to decide how I want to do the picture this year.
Yes, I participated last year. Bet some folks are surprised to learn that… lol.
Oh, it’s that time again. Haha. Hell yes. I’ll go topless for a lot of things.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m a guy, so yeah… I wanna see boobies. My mom has had two breast cancer scares, but this just seems to be more of an excuse to be smutty. Would definately like more information on how much money actually goes to breast cancer research out of this.
Did people even look at the picture you provided? You don’t have to show your face people! No one is going to know it’s you.
Yep, answer’s still no. Like I said before… There are a lot less trashy/less manipulative ways to raise money.
I’d go topless for boobs in return.
I really question the motives behind this.
just saying.fuck no i would not
I’m not doing it..
JOIN MY SAVE THE ANUS 2010 CAMPAIGN!
Hells ya!
What’s the gamer girl section?
Boobies!
Ay….. here we go again…….
Let’s have a show your penis for testicular cancer.
I would but only if I could do it anonymously & not show my face. Not that I’m embarrassed but others wont see the point & just think I did it for kicks.
Also, celebs have done tasteful art nudes for good causes. Why is that ok & even porn is ok to some but doing it here is a controversy? As long as people are warned before clicking the site, it shouldnt be an issue. Dont like, dont look. Simple! =D
No
errr I think I’ll stick to my CIBC Run for the Cure……a dollar for every k per person……
I so misjudged you because of your online name. Yeah….this will really help cure something for YOU only.
YUP! =)
I stay covered up as a public service. It’s the humane thing to do.
already have for this cause!
i didn’t go completely topless…covered the nips with my hands. i wasn’tcomfortable showing everything, so covering htme up a little seemed alright.
Love it!! Will do my best to get consent from the husband (so that he can take the picture!)
@ItIsAllGravy -
good question. I read the response he provided and I noted this comment:
We gain the free mammograms from the clicks on the link. The boobs just provide the attention to the cause.
What that suggests to me is that, to donate, one merely has to click the link, one does not have to send photos of their breasts.
My only hope is that is very, very VERY clear to all of the young ladies who decide they think it’s a good idea to do this, unless they would do it just for fun anyway, which that part would be none of my business.
I, too, would like to know how much money was raised last year. Hopefully Dan will share that, unless he already did and I missed it, which is also entirely possible.
I support this, but I don’t have a camera =[
@saintvi - LOL LOL LOL you funny hunny
@Blood_Groove -
@nyfemme - these are good ways to get attention too! I mean that’s all he says he wants, attention so people will come click the link. Cause he doesn’t get enuf anyway….
attention
I mean to say
Yeah right. Like I haven’t heard that line before!
I’m actually considering it. Maybe.
Two good friends of mine died this past year of breast cancer…after battling for years…it was so tragic to see how it took them. They really suffered. It was ugly and heartbreaking. One just died 3 weeks ago.
@saintvi - Your comments always make me smile.
@emily_shannon - Way ahead of you.
Did you know that men can get breast cancer as well? For this reason , I made a male contribution.
http://mynameisblueskye.xanga.com/733440526/first-male-contribution-for-save-the-boobs/
@AmeliaHart - Way ahead of YOU. Haha! No penis, just the nuts, though. I was thinking of that idea a couple of days ago, eiither for equal opportunity, simply for the giggles, or because I’m one of the balliest Xangans on here. Either way, I’m not going first. Not this time.
@mynameisblueskye - Hey TheoDan it looks like someone is willing to take up my cause!
I really think that criticism of your glorious efforts to cure cancer is ridiculous and vapid
I don’t understand how showing our boobs is going to gain money for a charity. I’m gonna need some more legit details and a reliable source before I show my boobs to the world. This seems a little ridiculous. I’m not just going to strip because someone tells me it’s for a good cause.
@Diva_Jyoti - I’ve concluded that Dan’s intentions — to raise money for breast cancer research and to increase awareness that we need to be vigilent about screening — are nobel. Yeah, there is that extra benefit of lots of hits on his already popular blog and lots of young breasts to stare at. But, as women, we get to decide what photos we want to contribute, if any, and if we want to visit the site and raise money! I know I won’t be showing my bare boobs, but I will be visiting the site multiple times, buying items, and contributing money
Nah, but I admire your goal with this campaign.
And the Boobytrap starts LOL
I wouldn’t go topless for this. I don’t think anyone wants to see that, anyway.
@Name_Isnt_Rio - He does it every year, and so far, it’s been good.
um….I appreciate the effort to raise awareness (my grandma and mom both died of breast cancer, and I lost my mom just after I’d graduated from college, which is way too damn young to be set adrift in the world without your mother). So I’m all about the fight against cancer, and supporting the brave folks who SURVIVE.
…but this is lame. I’m not sending you or anyone else a photo of my boobs, or posting one publicly. They aren’t yours to enjoy.
In a world where people are getting fired for having a photo of themselves and a beer on Facebook, why on earth would you think this is a good idea — no matter what “cause” it’s supporting? I can’t control what you or any passer-by does with the image once it’s posted. And I really don’t want some guy jerking off to my picture. Just sayin’.
I’ll volunteer for the guys. If it saves one person, I feel it is worth the skin.
I don’t understand all the fuss…couldn’t you take a tasteful photo of your breasts to submit? Like one that shows off your chest but where your nipples are covered by a clever sign that says something like “Save The Boobs 2010″? That way you’re supporting but it’s not “pornographic” as some people have mentioned. I would be up for doing that.
No, there are better ways to fundraise. I pride myself on keeping my body private.
I support this idea. not the breast cancer thing, just the breasts.
Clearly every picture of tits posted is going to wind up directly at /b/. I certainly wouldn’t do it!
Women who are poor and can’t afford health insurance can get free mammograms at planned parenthood.
I will opt to click the link. That sounds a lot less complicated.
so…how about if you’re poor and need a free mammogram, show the dr your breasts, let him feel you up, and there you go, free mammogram. seems simple to me, and much easier than showing the world my breasts.
Yeah… I’m all for clicking the link, but I’m not finding it…
And I already have boobs, so I really don’t need to scroll through all the pictures.
I don’t want my boobs on the internet, so no.
I may be interested again we shall see
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - If you showed your boobs, xanga would crash out of shock. It would cause Christianity to collapse and God would move to another multi-verse.
Heck, I’m one of those poor women without insurance who needs a free mammogram! But I still wouldn’t pose topless.
@hurthope - Sweeeet!
@PervyPenguin - hahahahaha i think she said exactly what we are thinking.
this is just a creepy fundraiser. why don’t you put pictures of baby animals or drawings of boobs in order to get attention? there are other ways.
What about men? Don’t we have a campaign to SAVE THE TESTES in awareness for testicle cancer? hmm?
Now Dan I know this is just an excuse so you can see a photo of my old, grann,y sagging. boobs. No thappening:):):) You will just have to dream on.
i won’t do it because i don’t get it.
Seriously? This sounds very dodgy.
I already sent you my picture
this action for gd cause is repulsive and revolting
Who makes these things up? No, I don’t want to pose topless. I don’t care if it IS for a good cuase. Think of something a little more creative for breast cancer, please.
How exactly, does my giving you a photo of myself, topless, save the world from breast cancer? And how exactly does it raise money? Your goal is good, but I question your means of reaching it. I naturally assume an intelligent person such as yourself would provide a little more information, such as what good these pictures would do, in your attempt to persuade women to do this.
@fading_roses19 - agreed.
I didn’t know the cure for cancer was as simple as a bunch of girls taking nude photos and posting them on the internet.
WTF.
And usually I’m down for this kinda stuff.
Bad taste. Women get breast cancer; all this show-me-your-tits stuff makes it about the boobs, not the person. And all the pink ribbon stuff? It is a disease — not a marketing opportunity.
I think this is ridiculious.
lmao doesn’t sound very legit…..someone is just trying to add to their amateur boob gallery
Sure. Be sure to let me know when you have the submission link up or where to send; I don’t think Xanga lets you attach photos to messages…?
I find it kinda funny that people are so suspisious. Yes, world, Dan is a big ol’ pervert that started a blog and harvested a group of followers just so that he could see some random boobies every October! Really? There are completely free porn sites out there that would have been a lot easier and taken a lot less time.
I just really don’t understand the desire to sexualize breast cancer….. you don’t see this for colon, ovarian, etc cancer. If people are game, that’s cool. It just doesn’t fit with my way of thinking.
Are you being SEXIST? men have BOOBIES and can get cancer in the same area. Waaaaa, Waaaa us men are always being left out. Why can you accept man boobs
