The white shirt was my own idea, had it printed at a local tshirt shop. Big Frog in Clearwater. Feel free to do your own!!
The black shirt was on line from what on Earth.
Both were about $20 each.

I have to say that Spookie and I wear pink the other 11 months of the year. I put her pink collars away, all our pink stuff.
She has a pink tshirt that says I'm the birthday girl with black cats and pumpkins and ghosts on it I allow on her birthday. Which is Halloween.

Your shirts have inspired me! Here's one I made to wear at a Komen race in St Petersburg on October 3, and to METUP protest in support of metastatic breast cancer research in Washington, DC, on October 13 (I'll post details later):

Nice shirt, Scrunch! You had that made? Very cool.

Was that the last walk here? My DD did that one, I was in treatment then. Like the shirt.
We don't see eye to eye on this issue. Especially Komen.

Big Frog in Clearwater would make it. They're on line. I've had several shirts made there.

Glennie scroll back to the beginning of this thread. I ordered three shirts through a member. Haven't looked to see if she is still active. She put on the shirts what I requested.

Hey! Thanks everyone for the compliments on the shirt. I used alliedshirts.com. I created the graphics in Photoshop and used allshirts.com's lettering system to add the text (the text usually comes out crisper if you use their lettering system). Below is a link to the .png of the pink ribbon with the red NO sign. I'm putting it last so that it does not try to embed the image within this post. If you right-click on it and SAVE AS you can save it as a .png, and if you open it in PhotoShop (or import it to one of those make your own tee shirt places), you should get the transparent background. I also have Photoshop layers if anyone wants the image to resize or recolor. I should also say that I am not a tee shirt printer, so I don't know how the colors I have chosen will actually look on the black tee shirt. It could be a disaster! SPOOKIESMOM - I believe October 3 is the only one in St Pete. It's in the evening (one of those glow race things). Would be happy to see you there!

So this Oct 3 is an upcoming event? Where? I'd more likely want to do lunch.

Hey Spookiesmom - According to the Komen propaganda machine.... It's at Albert Whitted Park in St. Pete. Looks like it's accessible from 275. Here's the schedule they sent me:
* 12pm - Packet pick-up, registration and festival begins
* 6pm Kids for the Cure
* 6:45pm - Sunset Survivor Walk
* 7pm - 10k begins
* 7:30pm - 5k begins
* 8:00pm - 1 mile beginsI'm coming up from Venice. I planned to arrive around 3pm, but could consider an earlier arrival time. I am running the 5K, so I will be on the road again by 8:30pm. I don't love Komen's message, but I believe that the current breast cancer screening mess (here's an article if you're not familiar: http://www.vox.com/2015/7/6/8900751/breast-cancer-overdiagnosis ) is going to force them to change their stripes to emphasize research. I would love to see their energies put behind research funding.

I love the shirt. I must get one!0 -
I am loving the shirts and the memes. I have launched a pre pinktober rant on my FB page, so all of my clueless (and most of us are until it happens to us) friends can perhaps get with the program. I am lifting these images shamelessly.. Hope nobody minds.

Not a bit. Anything to get the word out.

I'm reposting this from the Insomniacs thread. I do have a question on my new marketing materials though for you legalists - can I show my chest if it's without a boob, without a nipple on a fake boob and what if we want to show a deflated penis? I know where I can get all 3!
Everyone on BCO has taught me a lot about marketing since I joined cancer land. I still like pink and my support group does pink things. I do have a couple blush pumpkins I put out for myself. But I do that for me - sort of my Emmy. We have a Kroger here that contains a small jewelry store and of course I was looking at a pink necklace for a whole other reason. A lady working there asked me if I was buying it for BC Awareness month. When I told her no, it led to some chatter between us. Long story short, she had been told twice to have a biopsy and hadn't done it because of insurance. She also was convinced the doctor just wanted more money. I offered to show her my chest if it would increase her "awareness" and probably scared the chit out of her. I offered her money to help, to help her with the insurance as my nephew is a family doctor (his wife died of BC), whatever to get her into action. I don't know, she didn't seem very concerned. I'll check back on her soon.
I do like pink. I like purple too. It stands for epilepsy and I've had two seizures. So, I don't mind colors being used. But, I dislike the pretty version that is sold. I think we should show more reality than we do. I've learned through all of you to be more sensitive and have become more sensitive to the foolish banter I hear and read. I just cancelled a neighborhood event for BC because it wasn't coming together right. It's like any disease in this country, you have to provide a song and dance to get a donation. I prefer to donate to an individual if they need help or a research hospital. I pulled out of all Komen events much to the surprise of my support group. But, I don't hate pink. I like to think it has helped in many ways and has went so far now that there is no way in heck people are going to reverse their thinking of that color. What we need to do is find better and smarter ways to do something with pink. Like me buying that pink Mustang and riding around topless!!!!
My husband has prostrate cancer several years back and I didn't see jock straps flying or penis's flying around on banners. So, not sure how we got our breasts plastered, calling them tatas and whatevers, every place I look. I think I'm going to start a new line of marketing materials! Love all you guys.
