Feel Your Boobies!

“Feel Your Boobies® is just a fun t-shirt with a cute slogan right?? Wrong! Feel Your Boobies® is a call to action for women young and not-so-young to get in touch with their body and know what’s normal for them. Sure, we started as a cute t-shirt – but we’ve only scratched the surface on the creative ways we plan on promoting this healthy and proactive habit that can save your life.”

Get your gear...

Whether you create it or buy it showing ‘walk spirit’ is always fun.

I prefer to rock the Feel Your Boobies gear…lasts years shirt will go nicely with this years destroyed military cap that’s for dang sure.

Why wait for shipping? Get your Feel Your Boobies gear locally! They have some items in stock….but if they don’t have it they will get it in a day or two. Just call ‘em up…tell ’em what you want…they’ll get your name and number and give you a call back when they have it.

People gather on the ‘city’ side of the Walnut Street Bridge. They sing, cheer, encourage all the walkers still working on their walk.

I like bunnies, tucking my jeans inside of my boots, being in warm places, Shooter Jennings, Coca-Cola, photos taken in photo booths, boys who are made of 'snakes and snails and puppy dog tails', and recycling paper.
