Like that scary mall hair, eh? That's retro baby! That's right. We went retro for the Pretty in Pink breast cancer awareness party at CLAW in Cleveland, OH. After Goddess just did an awareness party for organ donation, I was only happy to help out and hostess this event. After my own personal boobie-crushing experience back in the fall, and a crash course on the 411 from Goddess herself, I spoke to the crowd about breast and testicular cancer. I informed men that they too can get breast cancer. And, we spoke of the importance of self exams! We were even blessed with a very technical talk from Will Castillo, Mr FL Leather and a pharmacology rep, about current treatments and therapies, and how to find a physician that's right for you. There was even a demo by the local girls, assisted by Andy Mangels!

Amusingly, I didn't KNOW the theme of the party I was hosting until the day of the event. Had I have known, I'd have at least packed something 80s....and pink.
