Mojo's Pinktober 2: Electric Boogaloo

Mojo's Pinktober 2: Electric Boogaloo · 23 September 2019
That's right! I didn't get enough of being pink last year and it was such a success that I've decided to do it all over again!
As I said before, October is my birthday month, and also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As most of you know, I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 3 breast cancer in August of 2015. My cancer is currently in remission but I am taking medication for the next 7 years to try and keep it that way and they have left me with a fine collection of debilitating side effects. F you cancer!
I was 32 when diagnosed and you would have thought, given my mum died of breast cancer, that I would have caught my cancer earlier. You'd think I'd have been all over that breast checking malarkey like a motherf***ing snake on a motherf***ing plane, but no. Thought i was too young did I! Foolish young Skywalker.
So I'm going pink for the whole of Pinktober to raise awareness that everyone should be checking, especially those under 40 who think they are too young to worry about it. Also to raise money for Macmillan, who saved my life financially and made me comforting cups of tea when the stress of life around treatment was too much.
On my Mojo Jones Instagram, Facebook Page and Twitter I will be posting a different pink photoshoot every day throughout October, except one day. That's 30 new looks ranging from cosplays, burlesque, latex and total nonsense, shot by some wonderful photographers that have volunteered their time for this cause.
And what of that missing day? Well I'll be livestreaming the complete makeover of Landstar Cosplay into his alter ego, the inimitable Betty Bang-a-Lang. This will be followed by a livestreamed photo shoot with Toneagraphy.
You can also get exciting new Pinktober content on my Patreon. Story times, burlesque and more starting from just a $1 donation!
I will also be wearing pink 24/7 again, which will be much easier this year given that I now love the colour pink and buy it a lot. After a solid month of it it's just converted me ok! I'm such a shit goth.
Pinktober will culminate on Hallowe'en Night with a live streamed Hallowe'en party where I and my guests will be wearing our best attempts at scary pink. There will be games, giveaways and surprise guests.
So if this monumental task of making and shooting 31 looks, living a pink life and streaming some shenanigans tickles you pink(see what I did there) then please donate and help people living with cancer.
Much love
