i don't wanna ruin the competition but i do have some major probs with this, in the same way as the 'wear no make up for cancer awareness' as if people with cancer need a reminder that 'ugly' selfies will still be healthier than the image they see in the mirror. i just feel it romanticises the struggle of cancer?? our little models with their perfect little bodies, eyelashes, eyebrows.. and bald heads.. to survive cancer and only have to care about a bald little head, a dream...
i suppose we are all touched differently by our experiences with cancer and all view it differently, but for me and my relatives they don't want to be celebrated with a reminder of cancer or how they look different from everyone else, they just want to get back to their normal life and stop being seen as sick or defined by their cancer and its effects.
