This is exactly why we need people like Diane who create ads showing breasts
AND people like Bonnie who choose to take a different approach.  We need
both!  To see change, we need people who are willing to push the boundaries

to a broader spectrum of people.  Slowly by slowly, we will get these little
ones to the breast!
