Day 26: Boobalas: Thinking Outside the Bra

Darryle Pollack, an artist, who interviewed on Connecting Women Radio, is now selling Boobalas, "the ultimate extensiopn of my mosaic art, and as a breast cancer survivor, bring my cancer journey full circle, " Darryle says. 

"Maybe it takes someone  who doesn’t wear one anymore –to think “outside the bra”– to use my experiences to create a unique spin on what we call Breast Awareness. I call Boobalas  “putting the zest in the breast”—combining a little imagination… irreverence…. and inspiration," Darryle continues. 

But after years of selling locally and by commission Darryle is putting her art online.  She also is giving away $100 worth of Amazon gift certificates as a bonus. "I think you will appreciate Boobalas, which range from imaginative to inspirational and to very irreverent," she says.

How awesome is this:  50% of all profits will go to cancer causes.  Visit Darryle's Boobalas. 

Darryle Pollack: All About Cluttercast

Darryle Pollack, of Cluttercast.com, was interviewed on Connecting Women Radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/connectingwomen/2009/07/03/Connecting-Women
Below, Pollack defines cluttercast and how she started it.


What is Cluttercast?

Clutter: n a confused multitude of things
Cast : v to send forth, to shed
Clutter + Cast = To shed or send forth a confused multitude of things

Every year, Darryle Pollack made the same New year’s resolution: to clear out her clutter. This year, 2009-- she made the same resolution with a twist, and started a blog:

Clutter is complicated. Not just the clutter itself, but why we collect it. I thought it would be easier to let go of my clutter if I knew where it was going. And that’s the story behind Cluttercast.

I post pictures of my clutter, and tell the stories behind each item. People comment if they want something, and then I give it all away to someone who wants it. It’s a way to give some goodwill out into the universe at a time when people want to help others but don’t always have ways to do that. It’s a great solution for clutter. Plus it helps the environment and the economy and everyone wins.

The items are eclectic and the stories are entertaining----and range from a brand new HP Printer, to a pink Prada bag, to a live toad made into a change purse. Lots of the people who get the items, called Cluttercatchers, send back pictures of themselves which Darryle also posts on the site.

Darryle encourages other people to do the same thing, and Cluttercast links to other people who cluttercast on their own websites. She hopes cluttercasting will become more common--- as more people connect through clutter.
