Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy
As today is the final day of October, I'm wrapping up my Breast Cancer Awareness series with a spotlight on the Lifetime television movie Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy. Based on the Geralyn Lucas' 2004 memoir by the same name, the movie stars Sarah Chalke as the 27-year-old Manhattan-dwelling Lucas who finds herself living "the life" with a dream job and dreamier doctor husband — and a lump in her breast.
She goes through a mastectomy and the subsequent chemotherapy, all the while struggling to maintain a sense of confidence and femininity.
Buzz In: Cancer-Themed Books
In pondering what to write for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this month, I have been thinking a lot about a book I read years ago titled What Girls Learn. The novel by Karin Cook is about two sisters whose mother discovers that she has breast cancer. The narrator is 12-year-old Tilden who brings us through the heartwarming, yet difficult story of illness, mother-daughter bonds and coming-of-age in the midst of family crisis.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Cancer Vixen
In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be featuring people and products from pop culture that have to do with the disease — those who have beaten it, have been touched by it, or are working toward finding a cure.
Today's spotlight is on Cancer Vixen, the alternately hilarious and horrifying memoir by Marisa Acocella Marchetto, a cartoonist for Glamour and The New Yorker. She was leading a decidedly fabulous life — hot fiancé, successful artistic career, kicky shoes — when a breast cancer diagnosis cast doubt on everything.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Ford's Warriors in Pink Campaign
In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be featuring people and products from pop culture that have to do with the disease — those who have beaten it, have been touched by it, or are working toward finding a cure.
Today, the spotlight is on Ford's Warriors in Pink campaign, which has successfully brought entertainers from all corners of pop culture into the fight against breast cancer. Last year, the campaign convinced the cast of Grey's Anatomy to wear its pink gear in an ad campaign, and the show also devoted a large part of one episode to a breast cancer story.
TV Today: "Frosted Pink"
Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I've been writing about people in the entertainment industry who have been making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. So I wanted to make sure to mention "Frosted Pink," a TV special airing today on ABC designed to raise awareness of all women's cancers.
The event features musical performances, appearances from cancer survivor Sharon Osborne and other celebrities, and figure skating exhibitions from star athletes including Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Lifetime's "Stop Breast Cancer for Life" Campaign
In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be featuring people and products from pop culture that have to do with the disease — those who have beaten it, been touched by it, or are working toward finding a cure.
Today, the spotlight is on Lifetime Television, which has launched its 13th annual "Stop Breast Cancer for Life" campaign this month. The network has recruited several stars to record public service announcements about breast cancer awareness that will air throughout this month; Whoopi Goldberg, Reba McEntire, Fran Drescher, Daisy Fuentes and several NFL players are just a few of the stars involved.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Kylie Minogue
In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be featuring people and products from pop culture that have to do with the disease — those who have beaten it, been touched by it, or are working toward finding a cure.
Today the spotlight is on Kylie Minogue whose battle with breast cancer was a well-publicized fact.
Her next album, titled X will release in Australia on November 26 and marks her first musical project post-cancer.
