Rethink Breast Cancer says that women need to "show their breasts more" - more TLC, that is.

Rethink, based in Canada, wants to reach younger women who think they are not affected by this disease. Rethink is using the arts, entertainment and fashion communities to get their message out and educate people about risk, prevention, research, and support. Their latest creation online is The Booby Wall - a virtual gallery of breasts from survivors and those who wish to honor someone who has been touched by this disease. Tastefully done, it may make you want to upload your breasts, too!

Bif Naked, Canadian punk rocker, 36-year-old newlywed, vows to keep working on two new albums while in treatment for breast cancer. Bif, born Beth Torbert, found the breast lump herself while doing a regular breast self-exam. Bif is known for her healthy lifestyle, strict vegan diet, dedicated workout routine, and regular yoga sessions. "I have never been one to give up when an obstacle is placed in front of me. I am in the fight of my life, and I'm lucky to have the support of my husband Ian and many friends and family members," said Bif. She plans to continue work on her sixth album, as well as a new project with Spanish-born, death-metal guitarist La Machina, to be called Jakkarta. Bif Naked's treatment will include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
