Think Pink

Here we are, weeks away from Mardi Gras, and women are posting their bra color (or, um, lack thereof) in Facebook status updates, presumably to raise breast cancer awareness.

Though I am very much for educating oneself about breast cancer and getting mammograms and so forth, I have to say I am not the sort of person who shares my bra information with the masses.

Then again, I was also never the sort to flash my way into extra beads at Mardi Gras. My mother would have killed me.

Now that you know what a prude I am, here’s a feature I wrote on Komen for the Cure founder Nancy Brinker in this month’s Palm Beach Illustrated. Though I did not ask the ambassador about her bra color (again, my mother would have killed me), I did get the chance to speak with her about her very powerful mission, which was borne out of a promise to her sister. Go take a peek and, if you’re so inclined, get involved in Komen in a neighborhood near you. It’s a great cause helping millions of people around the world.
