Borat Reminds Us of Pamela’s Great Boobs

November 21, 2006

I saw the hilarious, if not vulgar, over the top mockumentary “Borat” starring the genius comedian Sacha Baron Cohen just a couple of days ago.  Pamela Anderson served as Baron Cohen’s unwitting object of affection in the mockumentary, when Borat, Cohen’s alter ego, happens to see Pamela Anderson in her Baywatch bathing suit, saving people [...]

November 11, 2006

I found a very worthwhile website that I think every woman may want to visit, to lend a simple supporting hand to the quest for free mammograms to those that need them but may not have the means to get the potentially life-saving screening for breast cancer.  It’s called TheBreastCancerSite, and if you just visit [...]

Breast Cancer in the Family?

November 2, 2006

It seems that women with breast cancer in the female side of their family may still have to worry even if a breast cancer specific gene mutation is not found in their family.  New research is showing that these women may still have a statistically higher risk of getting breast cancer than women who do [...]
