The answer? No one. Everyone likes boobs. If Nichole can admit it, I can too. And that is why I’d like to share with you these lovely crocheted boobs. I am enamored with Shannon Gerard’s work. In addition to boobs, there are dinks (Dinks! Who calls them that?), adorably twee little crocheted cacti, vagina finger puppets, and more. I especially like the plushstaches (for the less-than-hirsute gentlemen).
But these boobs and dinks aren’t just for giggles. They come packaged as “early detection kits” and come with a booklet with instructions on how to conduct monthly self-exams. As Gerard puts it, “Using the softness and humour of these early detection kits, I hope to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often.” Also, $5 from each kit purchased is donated to this cancer recovery initiative.
We love boobs! Also, vagina finger puppets. Tee hee.
