AOC Friends | BCABPP

SX Liquors commissioned several artists and sponsored an art bottle exhibit and auction for Art Basel Miami 2011 to benefit The South Florida Breast Cancer Association. Michael Colano’s (see below) creation featured printed strips of 22 survivor images from BCABPP intricately wrapped and decoupaged to the supplied glass bottle.

We love seeing curves expressed in such a visually stunning, sexy message bottle by Colano. Learn how these 22 strips of breast cancer survivor images came to life in the BCABPP project;  AND how you can order their new quarterly magazine Survivors.

Anne’s friend Ellen Gondola holds her copy of the premiere issue of Survivors magazine, standing between her portrait “Bamboo & Butterflies” and Melanie Joy Mezzancello Singh as “Stardust” at Michael Colano’s Uncommon Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

AOC responded to Facebook actions to censor the images produced by the Breast Cancer Awareness Body Painting Project (BCABPP), basically classifying these emotionally powerful images as pornography. The entire situation is insane and still hasn’t been fully resolved.  Read original article.

‘Survivors’ is focused on the lives of breast cancer survivors, but their life lessons are motivational and apply to all of us. ‘Survivors’ is available in digital only for $4.50 and in a print+digital combo for $24.95.

News: 85 Arrests in Sexual Abuse Probe of Brooklyn's Orthodox Jews | Saying 'No' to Fashion Images | Editorials 12/10

DFR Daily French Roast

Anne is reading …

The faithful of Borough Park have a saying: “We are all of one face,”  wrote New York Magazine last week in advance of Levi Aron, the outcast awaiting trial for the murder of 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky.

This afternoon New York Magazine posted a blockbuster story that the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office has revealed the results of a three-year investigation into sexual abuse into Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community: 85 sexual predators arrested and 117 victims identified, citing the NY Post. This is a staggering number of arrests in a comparatively small community theoretically comprised of the most devout and God-loving Jews in the city.

Climate Breakthrough in Durban

A two-decades old battle on how to curtail global warming may have ended in a good place in Durban, South Africa by bringing developing countries including China and India into a new agreement with the “legal force” to limit their fossil fuel emissions.

Self Love Is Saying ‘No’ To Fashion Body Images You Hate

Yesterday Vogue Italia posted Ten Rules for Learning to Love your body. It’s a good list and my favs include:

3. Loving your body, fulfilling your dreams and following your passions is not a question of weight: there’s no need to wait to lose weight before being the person you want to me. It’s better to start pursuing your dreams immediately.

5. Ad campaign images and the ones in the magazines are absurdly over-retouched in Photoshop. This is why the women seem so perfect: but you can’t be like models who don’t exist in the real world.

9. Lean to understand and interpret the bad habits that damage your positive perception of your own body. Try to analyse and avoid them.

It’s time for us to get involved in the Karlie Kloss as ‘The Body’ discussion, resulting from her Vogue editorial push back. I picked up the topic on AOC Shop this morning (our not ready for prime time shopping site) writing:
