Before caffeine or fossil fuels, there is a universal addiction from which we all must wean ourselves at a young age. The alluring appendages have served not just as a source of nourishment and stimulation, but also as artistic inspiration for generations. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Christina Ward from the Etsy Plush Team wrote a moving post this week about gaining recognition for the cause by flashing some compassion with a sense of humor. Today's Keep it Weird pays homage to that spirit with some mammary madness.

Get to second base with The Booby Mace Plush by PterodactylPants from the Etsy Plush Team, Boob Scarf by Lourdesoftheflies, and Nipple Piercing Body Suit by fashionrocks. Check out the Related Items below for more enticing cleavage.

Who doesn't love boobs? That ball and chain is awesome :)

Oct. 16, 2009 at 4:51 p.m. girltuesdayjewelry

Celebrate boobs and raise awareness for breast cancer screening and prevention! My mother had it (she's still here 20 years later, TG!) and one of my friends was diagnosed with BC when she was only 26. Self exams, regular gyneo exams and knowing what the signs are of BC are so important in it's prevention and detection.

Here's 3 cheers to working towards prevention and detection of this terrible disease.

And 3 cheers to the wonderful organs that help feed our children with the best food there is! Yay for breasts. Yay for breastfeeding!

Oh wow. The boob scarf. That is just fantastic. Not sure if I'd wear it, but it did make me pretty happy here. I've made boobed monsters in my shared studio, have gotten quite some weird looks from people for that too. Boobs rock.

Thanks for keeping the awareness momentum going!

Oct. 16, 2009 at 9:41 p.m. BellaLunaCrafts

I have to say I had no idea there were so many boob items on Etsy. I also have to say I'm impressed with the collection and the cause for which it was curated. Great job!

I am currently going through treatment for breast cancer - it sucks.
Remember to check yourself-- catch it early if you have to catch it! ... and keep in mind breast cancer can get you at any age... any.

I really loved the scarf!!

The Implants mosaic is hysterical! I love it. I worked with breasts for almost 4 years when I sold lingerie and fit customers, and have learned to appreciate the many different shapes and sizes of one of the things that makes us women!

Oct. 17, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. panicmama

Thanks for including my Hand formed figurative cups! What a great selection of breasts!
Make sure you & all the women in your life check monthly! My aunt is a breast cancer survivor & wouldn't of known without a self exam. Check your boobies:)

Thanks everyone donating to breast cancer research this month. I hope that our efforts will bring hope to all of the women suffering from breast cancer. <3

Oct. 17, 2009 at 3:59 p.m. OddBirds

See, now this I like. Would much prefer if people raised awareness by buying handcrafted goods than plunking down $30 for a pink lipstick.

Oct. 17, 2009 at 7:46 p.m. OooPretty

What do we older women have between our breasts that younger women don't?

Our bellybuttons! HA! That's what happens when you get your mammograms regularly....oh yeah, and going braless now and then probably helps.

Oct. 17, 2009 at 7:56 p.m. wristielove

fruit fruit ! thx for the article and up-ing the awareness michelle!

Oct. 18, 2009 at 6:57 p.m. FableBay

That's one heck of a lot of boobage:) Let's all support those who are or have battled breast cancer, and promote them to "fight like a girl!"

Oct. 18, 2009 at 8:15 p.m. Jelart

It's amazing how they are all the same subject matter, just twisted different ways. Very creative!

Great article!

Oct. 19, 2009 at 4:27 p.m. bittersweetdesign

Every day is a gift - this we must all remember.

My husband lost his first wife of 23 years to breast cancer, I lost a baby daughter to a rare genetic disorder.

Live every day with love and joy - even if it is to simply savor a cup of tea - or a hug, or the smell of the morning air.
It can all be taken away in an instant.

Live mindfully.

Thanks for the article and blessings on anyone who is living with this disease.

Oct. 20, 2009 at 1:26 a.m. trudiedavies

How funny! Yeh for boobs!

Keep it up! Humor heals and these are some of the breast (I mean best) artworks ever...When I designed a conical lidded container to honor the Goddess within, my friends picked "Treasure Breast" out of all the ideas I had for what to call it. (Lidded cone shaped container thingy with purple inside" just wasn't working.)

Oct. 22, 2009 at 12:48 a.m. vintagemaison

Fantastic job - keep the awareness up! It works. My Mum had breast cancer in 1991 - she found the lump, had treatment, and is still hale and hearty at 80. She would have missed both of my kids, and her 2 great-grandchildren and I would have been bereft all these years. Anything that makes people think and be aware is worth any effort.

Nov. 5, 2009 at 12:30 a.m. elksongjewelry

That's alotta boobage! Awesome work, awesome cause and LastChantsStudio, "Treasure Breast" is priceless!!
