Boob Tube Auction

by Karen Lynch

Gotta love Australia.

150161146452_1.jpgSeems 20 celebrities were asked to design “boob tubes’ — fashion-forward tube tops if you will — and they’re being auctioned off to benefit
The McGrath Foundation.

Never heard of it? I hadn’t either until a short while ago. Seems “three quarters of all women in Australia who undergo treatment for breast cancer have limited or no access to a breast care nurse.”

Survivor Jane McGrath experienced first-hand the shortage of breast care nurses in Australia when she was in the early stages of her treatment; subsequently, she co-founded the foundation with her husband, Glenn, with the primary goal of placing more breast care nurses throughout the country. Cool.

Anyway, here’s a link to the auction page.

Let the bidding begin!
