Chem-Ho
Well, believe it or not, my boob and I have been in a battle with each other since October 2008. Its not that I don't like my boob, or want it to change, I like it just fine.I actually have been battling for it to stay. So after being diagnosed with breast cancer and showing my boob about four times a week, it sure put many things in perspective for me.One thing I know for sure, hospitals are full of hot men! I have been keeping a video diary of my entire journey called "CHEM-HO". You can tune in every week on my YouTube channel and watch my journey with humour and honesty. Click here to view the channel.

Help Send a Beaver to Burbank
One day the Bizzy Beaver thought "What would happen if Ellen Degeneres couldn't dance one day?" That thought horrified her until she came up with a solution. "I could be her stunt double dancer". From that day forward, the Stunt Double Dancer was born.
In order to attract the attention of the Ellen Show, a website containing two videos - her training workout and a music video has been created. Supporters and fans are encouraged to watch the videos and vote at www.StuntDoubleDancer.com.

Boobs: A Tale of Two Titties
"I like big boobs and I cannot lie and if you do too, than this Fringe Show is for you! This cheesy, politically incorrect, sketch comedy piece is easy to laugh at, but it still manages to share some of life's more sedate beauty with the audience. With tits, cocks and a catchy musical number (which is still playing in my head), this light-hearted show has something for everyone... with audience participation and a front row splatter zone..And if you can spare the ten bucks, buy a t-shirt; the proceeds go to save something we all love: boobs."
~ Calgary ACTS
"With a title like this, it's no surprise the show seemed particularly well attended, at least the evening I went. It definitely lives up to its title - plenty of raunchy, coarse humour about "boobs." (The main refrain in the show's opening song, for example, is "I love you, little tits"...)
The show is made up of several, stand-alone sketches with "boobs" as the unifying theme.
I don't want to give it away but, suddenly, the entire show made sense, and I went from loathing it, to loving it, raunchy humour and all. And I no longer felt ashamed of the few laughs that had managed to escape me, even as I had been shaking my head and "tut-tutting" the whole thing.
Now, I say, if you're a woman, go see this show, but make sure to stick around to the end. You'll be glad you did."

They're Just Not That Into Me
"The show is an absolute riot, especially for a female audience. It is at times raunchy, at times crass, but funny all the way through. Playwright and performer Allison Lane walks the audience through her 12-step program to get over being dumped - and how to stop dating wankers - from getting drunk to rebound sex. Lane's performance is completely authentic, and I'm sure resonates with many a woman who's been in that situation."
