DORI: ALIVE TO SEE 35
When I first started featuring Guest Pinups on the site, one of the first was a group of models doing a benefit calendar for a young woman named Dori who at the age of 26 had been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. Dori’s journey since then has unfortunately not been smooth or gotten any easier, but she’s still here, serving as not only an inspiration but also a teaching moment for anyone who may think that breast cancer stays limited to boobs. Please click on the image above to read more about Dori, and consider donating if you’re able.
FROM LABRADOR TO PARIS AND BEYOND
Angela Hardy, a widely published Canadian portrait and figurative painter, is headed to Paris with “The Periodic Motion of Venus”, the first piece in her “Indestructible Women” series. The piece has been selected for exhibition with the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts in the Salles du Carrousel, an underground annex of the Louvre. Funds will be used for shipping and travel fees of the artwork and for the artist, and also to host a full show and create a venue with which these stories of Indestructible Women can be told aloud.
