The Tutu Project

Have you heard of The Tutu Project?

Now you have! An excerpt from the Project's web site:
"...nine years ago my wife, Linda, and I moved to the East Coast and, as odd as it may sound it, the self-portraits proved to be a perfect way of expressing myself. Why? Because even though the move was exciting, exhilarating, and inspiring, it was 180 degrees from what I knew. So I took the old, mixed it in with the new, and kept the tutu handy.

Six months after the move, Linda, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She beat it, only to have it recur in 2006. During these past nine years, I’ve been in awe of her power, her beauty, and her spirit. Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing—no, the only thing—we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others."

Check it out. Neat pictures. I found some funny, some encouraging, some emotional, and all interesting!

Also...a link to their Today show interview.

I found out about this through the Today show interview when it aired ~ Never thought I'd enjoy looking at a middle aged dude in nothing but a pink tutu, but I loved them all! :)

That guy has to be fearless. I say that based on the picture alone. I'm going to check it out.
