In conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, College Candy is tackling breast health for women in their 20s. Last week we talked about how to protect yourself against breast cancer before the age of 40 and how to join the fight against the disease. Today we’re honoring sexy vixens who kicked breast cancer ass and are continuing to bring awareness to the disease.

It’s important to remember that breast cancer does not discriminate. The American Cancer Society estimates 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States this year.

Solgurl88: how come people never say

Solgurl88: ‘winter hookup!’(?)

I added that question mark in there for ya, buddy. But poor AIM grammar aside, I have to agree with her. A hook up is a hook up, why the classification?

Well, I suppose for people who vacation in a foreign country, or somewhere other than where they normally reside, the ‘summer hook up’ symbolizes the opportunity for a no-strings attached ‘relationship’ of sorts.
