Bloggers gone wild
Since Tuesday evening at 11:01 p.m. EDT, we have now officially collected $819.10! Unbelievable! Once again, thanks so much to EVERYONE who has donated -- be it with cash, photos, and/or verbal and written support. We appreciate it all equally! Since approximately noon EDT today we've had 19,629 hits on my new Nedstat counter (due to the link on FARK.com). And although I'll still be taking donations through next weekend, tonight is the last official boobie hoorah so my blog can return back to its regularly scheduled content. If you've been putting off those boobie photos, it's time to get them in once and for all! Tonight is Boobie Mayhem 2002.

Up next we have Yvonne's wet t-shirt submission and Ruthie's wild side. Boobilicious! Do I hear a ka-ching?

All I've got is a photograph
It seems the FARK'ers are just a wee bit upset that, <gasp!> this campaign focuses on the boobies and not the faces. Well sorry folks, but we're not a porn-site. We're trying to get donations for a worthy cause. I guess it was too much trouble to merely click on the link paired with each boobie photo. So now, just because I care, most of the contestants' photos are at the top of the boobie page. If you're submitting/have submitted and want your photo there as well drop me a line (and a pic). Don't say I never gave ya' nuthin'!

Now...donate! The quicker the cure for breast cancer, the more boobies we'll all have to look at...

Aggie-rivation
Congratulations to Christine and her Texas A&M team. We were dominated, and there was no escaping the loss. I could sit here bitching and moaning about bad officiating -- but the truth is, our defense didn't play to win and our offensive play calls were mostly laughable at best. We didn't deserve to walk out of College Station the victors today. It's funny. Three years ago, a one-loss season would have been something Sooner fans begged for. Today, we're just left shaking our heads at another "what if" season.

I fully expect all of you to give, give, and give some more to make me feel better tonight. Captain Morgan can only be just so comforting...

But don't expect me to be ashamed of my team. I am an Oklahoma Sooner. And I will always be damn proud of that.

FARKing great...
A big welcome to all of the FARK'ers stopping by! If you want bare-boobies, please donate to charity, and we'll be happy to pass 'em along. We're greedy, but we ain't stupid. And yes, the heads were cut off on the photos to focus on...well...the beautiful breastesses. But if you will click on each picture, you can match the tatas to their rightful owner. Stay tuned. More boobies on the way this weekend. And thanks for stopping by!

UPDATE: Since we do have so many new people coming in that haven't been around from the start, and don't know just what this is all about, the donations page has been updated with the information about the charity this site's viewers have recommended. We aren't going first-class folks. We just want to raise that much for charity.

UPDATE 2: I have called the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and left a voicemail message for a call back so I can try to register with the charity for donations. That way you can check up on us if you'd like to make sure the money is going where we say it is going. The recording (1-800-462-9273) says they are closed on Monday the 11th, so I should hear back from them hopefully on Tuesday. Please visit their website if you would like to donate directly. Just please leave us a note here saying you did so. Thanks!

Catch a falling star
Just a heads up -- we'll be sleeping very late tomorrow and then driving down to Tampa to join the Sooner Club for OU vs. Texas A&M. Any donations made between now and the end of the game will be posted when I'm back home and online.

I still have promises of photos from a few of you -- so please send 'em in when you can! We'll be taking donations through the end of the weekend and will need more pics to keep us going! She's already up to the challenge. Are you? Don't forget -- the profits beyond what we need for airfare are going to charity!

By the way, everything relating to the Boobie Drive is now on its own page. But the page isn't work-safe (all of the photos, other than pop-ups, automatically display without having to click the "read more" link) -- so be smart when you click! You can vote on your favorite pair there now, too.

Have a great weekend everyone!

A special note from Statia
Hey guys, your lovely boobie girl, Statia here. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all and tell you what awesome people you are. When Robyn started this campaign, I never expected it to get as big as it did. I haven't posted any links on my site because there are a few people that I work with that know the url. The fact that I have to censor myself to begin with pisses me off. I didn't want you to think that I didn't appreciate every penny that you've sent. It makes me feel so loved and awestruck at your generosity. The reason I'm alone for the holidays is due to family differences. Not only are you guys kickass, but so are Robyn and Todd for opening their hearts and home to me at a time when I need it most.

And all of you girls who showed your racks. You guys rock. I love you all.

Now, lemme go shoot some more boobies.

The summit of beauty and love
So you're sitting at home on Friday night. You're bored. You're checking this site every five minutes to find new boobies. Well do I have the pair just for you. You know Da Goddess? Well Joanie has donated not one, but three pics to the cause. And not a single one of them features clothed boobies. That's right. We've crossed the threshold of USA's "Up All Night" into Skinamax territory baby! But you don't get these for free. Oh no. And I won't put bare-boobie pics up in my blog. You're gonna have to pay for the password to see these babies. And Joanie has offered a special present for each donation of $50 or more, in addition to the three photos mentioned above. Who's in?

In case you need reviews before you pay...from the men who've seen 'em...

Todd: "I'd hit it!"
Dan: "Worth every penny!"

The bidding begins at $50 for the password. Don't let the boobies down!

We've got boobies, yes we do -- we've got boobies!

All Blogger Boobie-Thon entries are now located on their own page!

How 'bout you? To kick things off for tonight's round, we bring you the lovely Michele in glorious black and white.

So here's the deal as I sit down to update the donor list for the evening... Since this is all about boobies, it should also be for boobies.

If we go over what it takes for the original project (we never in our wildest dreams thought this campaign would generate this much revenue in such a short time), we want to give the funds to breast cancer research. Can everyone please pipe in and let us know what would be the best charity to direct the funds towards? A celebration of breasts really should be about preserving them as well!

Click the read more (not work friendly) for Michele's contribution -- and stay tuned! We have much more promised for this evening. And with Stacy and I, and a new bottle of tequila, in the same house...it just. Got. Interesting.

UPDATE: Boys can play, too!

After these messages, we'll be right back...

Far be it from me to let down the sisterhood... We've got ourselves a challenge researching airfares and dates available to travel, so it's time to raise the bar higher again. See these? You'll notice that there t-shirt is white.

And if we can get it up $500, I'm pretty sure I can guarantee you shots of her, and her and possibly even her and her. (Anyone else want to throw their two, errrr, cents in?)

Yeah, I called ya' fat - look at me I'm skinny
I laid in bed for over fifteen minutes before finally coming back in here, flipping on the monitor, and sitting down to write. I'm angry and I hope the words will come out right. In the entire time I've been blogging I've deleted less than ten comments left at my site. One of those comments was left Wednesday evening.

What was the insult? It basically boiled down to "your friends are fat and my friend should be embarassed that he sat naked in the same hot tub with them at your house". (Not that it matters, but I remained clothed - and out of the hot tub for the most part that evening - so the comment didn't apply to me personally.) But the comment was left by a woman about other women. Why is it when women start to tear each other apart, the first thing they go after is weight? We all unite to slam fashion magazines and their constant parading of size 2 women, yet most of us seem to take glee in criticizing someone the instant they don't match that criteria.

In the last five years, I have literally been anywhere from a size 6 to 14. I've had surgeries, infertility drugs, and a health-related inability to exercise. When I'm a size 6, I can finally get my ass squeezed into my favorite pair of jeans. When I'm a 14, I finally get those breasts I yearned for in high school when the standard joke I always heard was, "You're like a pirate's treasure...sunken chest." You get some, you lose some. But regardless of my weight, I'm still "me" inside. And my husband still treats me like the size 6 woman he married. Pity some anonymous stranger on the internet might not have the same compassion. If you can't love me when I'm a 14, I sure as hell don't want your love when I'm a 6.

If you EVER think you can come in my house and trash my friends for their weight (or anything else for that matter) you are sorely mistaken. Let she who is without unwanted cellulite cast the first Twinkie. I'll eat it for dessert, and then next I'll go after your soul for the main course. Let's make sure we're crystal on that, shall we? And now, back to your regularly scheduled boobies...

I’ve got to gather my senses together

Thought I heard your voice yesterday
And I turned around to say
That I know you didn’t realize...

But it was just my mind playing tricks on me

It seems colder lately at night
And I try to sleep with the lights on
Every time the phone rings
I pray to god it’s you....

I miss you
There’s no other way to say it
And I...I can’t deny it

I miss you
It’s so easy to see
I miss you and me

Chicken soup for the blogger's soul
I had this as an "update" for awhile here, but thought it warranted its own entry and attention. The more I think about it, the more I want those who don't know me well to understand... Yes there are jokes about boobies. And yes, there will probably be boobies. But this isn't about buying me a book or a CD or anything off my Amazon list for my 30th birthday that I don't really need. This is about a friend helping a friend. It kills me to think that those I care about may be spending the holidays alone. Todd and I can't always afford to go back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we have each other. Not everyone in this world is lucky enough to have that. And as such, our home is always open to our friends without someone else to share the occasion with.

So yes, you are "technically" paying for boobies if you follow the letter of our silly campaign. But you can't put a pricetag on friendship. Where Karyn is asking for people to BAIL her out of the choices she's made, we are merely asking those we know to HELP Statia out of circumstances she has no control over. Karyn dug herself into her own hole. She had insane spending habits and needed someone to swoop in and rescue her from her own life decisions. We haven't asked for anyone to make up for past mistakes. With or without this silly little fundraiser, Statia's Thanksgiving Day will just be spent in a different location. Without Karyn's benefactors she would end up in court and most likely losing everything she owned.

If you can't see the difference in that, then please -- go donate to a real charity. We're not stopping you, and we're not saying we're more important. We aren't here to make anyone rich or give them a Winona-sized shopping spree at Saks. We only want to help make them happy...

UPDATE: As of November 10th, we have raised $1029.10 total. Afer the cost of the just-purchased $359 airline ticket, to date as of 7:00 EST on 11.10.02, $670.10 will be going to charity.

Don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
I just want to get one thing clear for the asshole out there who knows exactly who he is. Statia has been one of the biggest Karyn-bashers there is. This was not HER deal. It was mine. I wanted one of our dearest friends down here for Thanksgiving, which as a matter of fact just happens to fall on my birthday this year thanks to poor planning by my parents and the calendar of doom. She was going to be alone. We weren't. It was a joke. A joke that people have happily opened up their wallets for, but a joke nonetheless. I am the one that started it. I am the one that set it up. And I am the the one that informed her it had been done AFTER the fact. We couldn't afford to do it between the three of us, but if you tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on...

If people can send $20K to a mindless twit who doesn't want her Prada shoes repossessed, more power to 'em. If people want to send $10 so friends can be together during the holidays and one of their 30th birthdays, that is also their right. I'm so sorry that it has interfered with your little "reputation". Just remember in double-standard land you are the "stud" who got to hold her tits on camera. She is the whore for baring them. What the fuck ever. Can you hear that plonk? It's the sound of your URL dropping off my Blogroll.

"We agreed to do the show and so the cameras are here all the time," she [Sharon Osbourne] said. "So it's a little bit invasive right now and we have no privacy. You know when you're sick, you want to be on your own? I can't throw up on my own and Ozzy can't get drunk on his own."

Hey. Wait. I've got a new complaint.
I never hopped on the "what's in your Amazon Gold Box" blog entry bandwagon. But after viewing my latest string of crappy loot, I have decided to write the company. I'm sure I will be ignored. But in the past week I've had diaper stackers, bottle warmers and baby toys -- and tonight was the final straw. Not only did I get a baby carrier, but also a crib set, in my box. For someone who is infertile, it's a slap in the face each and every time I visit Amazon's site now. I avoid baby stores, online and brick and mortar, for a very good reason.

Between the non-stop parade of baby items, and Christine's never-ending we think you need power tools hints, they need to have a "pass and never show me items like this again" button as well.

Otherwise, I'm through clicking. If you'd like to complain to Amazon about their Gold Box product selection methods you can do so here.
