Lady X is extremely shy but wanted very much to support breast awareness and this calendar.
A medicine buddha cures the illness of suffering using the medicine of his teachings for all who enter my yard and stop to notice him
I remember my first mammogram. Although it was just a check up, and I have no history of breast cancer in my family, I will never forget the overwhelming emotions I experienced being topless with my breast being clamped down by the most horrendous machine and tears streaming down my face, palms sweaty, nervous as hell. Why was I crying? Because as a woman a large part of my identity is wrapped up in my breasts. The thought of having breast cancer, just the thought!, was too much. Society as a whole has lived with this for decades but we still do not have a cure. We are making improvements but we are not there yet. When Natasha approached me about this calendar I had to do it – if for nothing else than to eliminate a bit of the fear, uncertainty and doubt that occurs in what is a routine exam that helps detection. Through awareness and understanding we can hopefully remove this as a ‘taboo’ topic and deal with it head on with certainty and facts.
When Lady X is not letting us frolick topless in her back yard for some of the calendar shoots she can be found … well, we just can’t say. She is kinda shy.
