I once read about a guy who couldn't get his book published by

anyone after submitting it to a bunch of publishing companies. So,

after all that rejection, he decided to go ahead and start his own

website and publish a small portion of the book on the internet,

then offer the reader the option to buy the rest of the book online

for a small fee. Guess what? He made a ton of money! And he

didn't have to give up a portion to any middleman for printing

costs!

I'd say that was vindication. And proof that he was a good writer.

Just something to think about!

If it's the guy I'm thinking about, he's been

intrumental in setting up " support " groups for

self-publishers . . . There is a lot of help available

by doing a websearch for terms like " self-publishing

help " etc.

He was on NPR some time ago describing how he did it.

I have an idea, A lot of organizations sell calendars to support their cause. We could make one and sell it on ebay to pay for the book. What if we featured 12 ladies of varying illnesses caused by their implants. We could have them get their picture taken in front of a significant buiding or "trade mark" to their city. Showing the viewer that implant illness can be affected by anyone... anywhere. We can emphasize their beauty as an explanted woman. With the right photographers we could make a calender that is beautiful, professional, and sends a message. I would be willing to work with another on this project. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard. With small upfront cost, which we might be able to find sponsors for. Especially if we use the picture as an advertisement for a business, (such as a coffe shop) in each of the cities the

featured lady lives in. We use vonage intenet phone service so calling withing the US is free for me. I can do a lot of calling for a project.

Thanks Sis, I am sure we could find a reputable photographer in each city.

I think what would sell better are pictures of our bare breasts

scars and all. I had thought about this already but didn't have time

to devote to it right now. But imagine a calendar of topless women

who all have scars to show for their suffering. We wouldn't even

have to show faces.

I am not so sure about that idea. I don't want to capitalize on 'the shock value ' of my ordeal. I want to help unimplanted and explanted women alike with stories of health and healing, both physical and emotional. A way to spread the word and glorify the beauty of the "natural woman". As women we all struggle with our body image, I want to help women and girls know that there other risks involved with implants, some are emotional and spiritual. No matter what our poor choices are, we can heal our thoughts and emotions and become women who appreciate ourselves and our talents and that is what makes us beautiful. If we don't address these issues with women, seeking to implant, than we don't do them any justice by showing them the physical risks. I don't want to leave women feeling more helpless thinking they have a "no-win" situation by choosing not to get the implants. Just my opinion, I do understand that things have to be "shocking" in order to get attention these days, but I am all for moving on and going forward.auntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: You know, that crossed my mind as well.

Many women look better after explant, so why would it be a no-win

situation. There are some awful looking implanted breasts, hardened,

misshapen, etc. Natural women always look better to me.

Something that I'm wondering about . . . Would the

intention of the book be to inform women, or to make

money? Knowing the purpose of the book would go a long

way to determining, not only the content, but

how/where to market it.

I wholeheartedly agree that the book must offer

solutions, not just a shock. . . In particular, I'm

concerned about the mothers when they learn that their

implants may have affected their children. The initial

horror, shock, guilt is enormous! . . . Not to mention

the daily living with a child who may be suffering on

an ongoing basis. I suspect than less than 1% of the

mothers of affected children have made the connection.

When I started 's SiliconeKids group last year, I

thought had basic knowledge of the problems the

children face. I've since learned the problems are far

worse than women will discuss publically. We can't

find knowledgable doctors . . . and the children don't

apprear to respond as well to detoxing. I suspect

that's because their little immune systems were hit so

early.

We are getting a few clues though!

Hugs,

Rogene

Wouldn't it be something if every plastic surgeon had

to show THESE pictures to women wanting implants? A

calender like this should be hanging in every surgeons

waiting area!

The intent would be to inform, and any proceeds could be put towards

this effort, rather than for personal gain.

A friend of mine who is a breast cancer survivor said that a woman

she knows (a photographer) was taking very beautiful pictures of

women after breast cancer, showing their scars, but they were

tasteful - not anything that would make someone upset, they kind of

showed the spirit of the women.

, since the calendars were your idea, I'll honor however

you'd like to handle it. Also, who says there can't be more than

one calendar? We could run with 's idea, but could

do a calendar as well if she wants.

You can ignore my idea because I was never implanted, but to me, if you are

going to do tasteful breast photos, the photos must include the face of the

woman, as well as her breasts. Like the friend of your friend, the photos

would show the spirit of the woman, not just boobs. You could each be doing

something you are passionate about -- Rogene could be at her potter's wheel.

This way, you are showing that all different types of women had implants

and are doing well after explantation. If you simply show explanted

breasts, I'm afraid it would come across as shock value.

You all have such great ideas. Maybe if there is money to be made,

we could start a fund to help women with explant surgery?? Has

anyone considered maybe putting a brochure/pamphlet together that

would include risks, maybe a picture or two of explanted women and a

testimony, a personal story of their sick children, etc. I don't

know how we would distribute it, but just a thought. It would have

to be just for saline implants, because I think that's where women

(and doctors) are duped into thinking they are safe.

Lynda What I mean by a no-win situation is that some will feel like they have no answer to their problem if they choose to not get implants. When I got mine, I was using them to fill a need. This need had no other option (so I thought) at the time of implantation. I needed to heal my poor body image, not fill it up with silicone.

Yes, that is often the case, it is usually a psychological

need. Many women have poor body image for many reasons. It is bred

into our society.

The brain-storming in this group is awesome!! I am glad to see you are a bunch of women who are not comfortable with sitting around and complaining about themselves being victims. You ladies are AWESOME!

I never thought the bare breasts would be for shock value. The idea

came to me as a way to display the beauty of the breasts even with the

scars. My breasts look amazing even though they have scars, and I wear

the scars as badges of courage for what I have been through. With the

right photographer and the correct poses, this would be amazingly

artistic.

Kenda, I have been a nude model for many years and I have no problem

showing myself, face and all. But most women are afraid to sohw

themselves. that is the only reason I suggested that the faces would

not have to be shown.

Yes, unfortunately we are taught to not be happy with ourselves.

This is one of the main focuses of my dance company... to teach

women how to feel good about themselves and their bodies. I have had

amazing results so far with what I am doing. The women, some of them

in their late 60's even, coming to me and telling me how my classes

have changed their relationships because they are able to feel good

about themselves for the first time. That is what makes it all

worthwhile.
