If the recent Susan G. Komen dustup made you think, "I'd rather give my money to a guy wearing nothing but a tutu in public," now you can! The Tutu Project tells the story of how Bob Carey started taking pictures of himself in a tutu "as a lark," just like we all do on occasion. Once his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, the hilarious and surreal photos became a way for the couple to cope with the changes in their lives.

1. The Newt Gingrich Foundation Helps You Divorce Your Sick Wife

18. Since I like to put a positive spin on things,

I'd say that this was the greatest thing Gingrich ever did for her. Anything is better than staying with this creep of mythic proportions.

2. What a sweetheart!

3. That's a great

photo/painting!

4. I love this man. how absolutely beautiful to create living instead of suffering.I wish I were

like that.

5. What he lacks in good looks

he makes up for in devotion to his wife. Good for him. And very funny! Laughter is one of the best medicines. Can't beat it - or a devoted partner - when you're sick.

Edit: damn typo.

20. Looks darn cute to me!

I can't see beyond the love he wears.

[Demoiselle]

26. My thoughts exactly, colorado...

Not just cute...beautiful!

12. What a great person.

Love the look on the cow's face. "Damn. Now I can move on; I've seen everything."

Some DU love for Mr Carey.

[SemperEadem]

13. Love it!

The cow seems to be saying "Ummm..... ...no."

14. My wife is currently fighting breast cancer...If I wore a pink Tutu I could raise millions...

...from people begging me NOT to do it again....

Kudos to Mr. Carey...

16. Vibes and healing thoughts for your wife, brit

You wear that tutu. We wouldn't laugh. Well, not much. OK, maybe a little.

15. once had a coworker

who shaved his head as a show of support for his wife who was going through chemo and lost her hair as a result. And he wasn't the type to sport the bald look.

Ladies, we'll do anything for our wives. Except maybe the toilet seat thing.

[Hepburn]

24. A wonderful example of this was when a youngster in grade school lost his hair to chemo...

...the guys in his class came to school with shaved heads.

Tells me that there are some great kiddos coming out of this youngest generation.

17. What a sweetie XOXO

[siligut]

21. From the article . . .

Check out more of the photos below and remember, Bob Carey is a way better, if far stranger, husband than you.

Creative and well executed way to cope with some of the devastation breast cancer brings.

[Aerows]

22. Now this is a person that wants to help women.

I have to admit, I'm delighted to see Susan G. Komen sinking lower and lower. We've all found out they are a right wing PAC, not an organization that wants to help women.

This man does, and he's a great person for doing it!

[Dont call me Shirley]

23. As a breast cancer survivor, THANK YOU BOB!

[alphafemale]

25. That "one" cows WTFlook.

There is a curious brain in the group. The rest of the grass ticks feed on.

27. Mrs. Carey is a lucky woman.

If I had money, I'd rather give it to her husband's project, too.

28. Why is this in GD?

29. General Discussion: discussion not necessarily related to politics.

It can and does fall under the following:
Performance Art
Cancer Awareness
Coping with illness
Susan G. Komen
The book that is being produced.


Just because people are choosing not to discuss any of these related subjects does not mean it belongs somewhere else.

[etherealtruth]

34. I am grateful that you posted this here!

[MADem]

31. Because it belongs here.

Let's refresh our memories:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

Unless this photo was taken in the occupied territories by a Palestinian sniper using an Israeli gun sight as a close-up lens, and that cow is actually the famous one from the popular "Happy Cows are From California" TV commercial, and the subject of the photograph is Tim Tebow, and this whole "breast cancer" thing is just a conspiracy by Big Pharma to sell drugs, and the guy's protest is in fact about the jury system on this board, then I'd say the post fits the SOP for the forum.

33. LOL - I wish I could recommend this post - great answer!

[HappyMe]

30. Real men DO wear tutus.

What a great guy.

[NYC_SKP]

32. This made me cry mixed tears of sadness and utter respect for this man's devotion.

Reading the story aloud to my girlfriend I couldn't help but get choked up.

In solving problems is the best....
