1. How long have you been on the site?
   A little over a year… I joined MFI back at the end of September 2010.
2. Have you been active that whole time?
   Absolutely! Though there have been times, of course, where I haven’t been as active… life’s duties keep getting in the way!
3. How do you keep yourself motivated?
   Well, I’m never one to give up on anything, no matter how discouraged I get or defeated I may feel. Just thinking about how much fun I’ll have with my new toys once I have them keeps me motivated, but also the sincere and priceless friends I have on here keep me chuggin’ on, too
4. What’s your current total?
   At the moment, I am at $1836.56… so close to the 1/3 mark!!
5. How much of that is from messages?
   $504 so far… I have some friends on here that I message back and forth with frequently, and I make a point to send out messages to all my friends regularly, as well as continuing to send out messages to new guys or guys I haven’t ‘caught’ yet.
6. What do you think is the biggest change since you joined the site?
   Hmmm, with me or with MFI? Haha well, with me, I’ve regained a lot of the confidence that I lost touch with after having kids… and have also rediscovered a lot about myself in the process. As for the site, I’ve seen quite a transformation, too.
7. What do you think has changed for the better?
   A lot of new features have been added to this site… it was a bit limited with the old site, and a bit of an eyesore (sorry, that’s the design critic in me talking!). The new look is much cleaner and more functional.
8. Do you have a pet peeve about the site or the guys?
   I have a few… one thing that disappoints me is when you spend countless hours chatting with someone, only for them to never donate (or maybe once). It’s easy to forget why we girls are here in the first place when we’re enjoying the time with our friends; but tough though because you never know, but always hope, that one day they’ll come through for you and surprise you.
9. How big are you hoping to go?
   Since proportion is the most important factor for me, I’m looking to ‘restore’ my boobs to the size I enjoyed while breastfeeding: a full C. Basically the equivalent of 34C, but since I’ve gone down to a 30AA-, I might end up more of a 32D. I’ve lost nearly all of my breast tissue, so we are talking 425-450ccs per breast.
10. Have you had a consultation?
    HAHAHA OMG Yeah! I laugh because my doctor’s office knows me very well… I’ve been in there at least half a dozen times, and more than once to try on the implants. They know all about MFI and have actually had a few surgeries financed that way before… I’ve opened their eyes (and minds) to this site.
11. Do you do custom pictures or videos?
    Yes, as long as it fits within my comfort zone. I don’t do XXX or nude pics, and appreciate the respect guys give me for that decision.
12. What one thing would you like guys to know about you?
    My profile says a lot about me, and so do my blogs. I suppose the one thing I’d like to stress is why I am here. If I never had kids and experienced what it was like to have breasts, I would still be very happy with my perky little As that I’ve had my whole life. Breastfeeding really does damage to our breasts. It’s a selfless act; but I think we mothers earn the right to ‘selfishly’ get implants if needed! Also, some friendships I’ve made here are more valuable to me than those in real life.
13. What’s the craziest thing you’ve DONE on the site?
    Hmmm… well, I’ve been known to get silly on the cam during some chats. (nothing XXX, sorry to disappoint!)
14. Do your friends and family know about you and the site?
    A few friends know, and of course my husband, but I really prefer to keep it to myself. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed about doing this, and would prefer to help open the minds of others about this site. Unfortunately a site like this carries a heavy stigma that’s hard to change. A lot of people are still very closeminded about things.
15. What are some of your hobbies and interests outside of MFI?
    Oh, boy, let’s see… well, I love art, so anything from drawing to sculpting to photography and design. What else do I love… physical fitness, video games (those 2 combined are great, too!), roller derby, writing, reading, playing laser tag, guns, biking (motorcycles), and so much more… I’m a multifaceted gal
16. What sort of work do you do?
    Well, currently I am the Family Manager (“Domestic Engineer”). I can’t actually afford to go back to work right now, but I am trying to continue my photography and graphic design whenever possible. Being on MFI and having a big family keep me from getting much else done!
17. Is there anyone else you’re rooting for?
    Every gal on this site! But I tend to feel the most support for the most ‘real’ and genuine ladies here, especially those who are moms, because I know where they are coming from!
18. Who do you take inspiration from?
    A lot of people both here and in ‘real life’ inspire me… especially some of the girls who are really strong and deserving of success on here.
19. If you could give one piece of advice what would it be?
    Be yourself. I know that sounds simple and cliche, but it’s true. The best thing you can do is stay true to who you are and to never sell out or give in, no matter what. Unless you feel comfortable and inspired to do so, keep it real.
20. Anything else you would like to add?
    I would absolutely LOVE to get my implants in time for this summer! I am also looking forward to sticking around after I reach HOF to help others on this site. I truly enjoy paying it forward, and will be happy to help other deserving ladies achieve their dreams… seeing others happy makes me happy!

“We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the charity had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from grants due to it being under government investigation – a fishing expedition launched in Congress at the urging of anti-abortion groups.

After three days of virulent criticism flooding the Internet and jeopardizing Komen’s iconic image, the charity said it would change the criteria “to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political.”

“We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants,” the statement said.

Many of Komen’s affiliates openly rebelled against the decision to cut the funding, which totaled $680,000 in 2011. Additionally, Komen was flooded with negative comments via emails, Twitter and Facebook – many of the messages indicating that donations to Komen will cease due to the decision.

The Komen decision triggered an outpouring of support for Planned Parenthood, who reported incoming donations surpassing $3 million since the story broke. Planned Parenthood has pledged to use the funds to maintain and expand its breast health services.

On Thursday, Komen held a news conference in response to the erupted controversy, and denied that its decision was driven by pressure from anti-abortion groups.

“We don’t base our funding decisions … on whether one side or the other will be pleased,” said Komen’s founder and CEO, Nancy Brinker.

While initially Komen had based the decision to bar grants to organizations under investigation, Brinker insisted that additional factors, such as changes in the types of breast-health providers it wanted to support, were involved.

A source at Komen’s headquarters in Dallas with direct knowledge of decision-making gave a different account. The source said the new policies were established with the intention of deliberately targeting Planned Parenthood. According to the source, who wished to remain anonymity for fear of repercussions, a driving force behind the move was Karen Handel. Handel was hired as vice president for public policy by Komen last year after losing a campaign for governor in Georgia in which she stressed her anti-abortion views and frequently condemned Planned Parenthood.

In an interview with MSNBC, Brinker said Handel didn’t have a significant role in the policy change.

1. When was your surgery?
   23rd October 2011.
2. How did you bring up MFI with your doctor?
   The company I had chosen had dealt with MFI on many occasions (the reason I choose them over rival companies).
3. How did your doctor feel about MFI?
   He didn’t mind, asked a few questions but was fine with it all.
4. Did you doctor have you do anything pre-surgery to help make things easier?
   No.
5. Did you do anything pre-surgery that was recommended on the internet or by other women?
   No.
6. How big are your implants and what kind are they (saline, silicon, profile, etc)?
   380 cc and Silicon.
7. How were they implanted (over muscle, under, incision type etc)? Why did you choose that method?
   Under the muscle. The surgeon made all of the vital recommendations based on my body shape/what I wanted. Although, I had the final say.
8. How did you decide how big to go and what type of implants to get?
   I spoke to the surgeon about my needs and he recommended two sizes for me. I tried the implants on in a bra and based my decisions from that.
9. How long after surgery were you in pain?
   About a week.
10. Did you need someone to help you with normal tasks after surgery? If so, what did they do?
    Yes. My boyfriend did EVERYTHING for me!
11. Did your doctor have any post-surgery advice that really seemed to help with your recovery and/or scar reduction?
    Not really. Sleep as upright as possible to help reduce swelling.

    No. I was told recovery would be very quick as I was a non smoker who didn’t really drink.
13. How long before you could resume normal activity?
    After 10 days I was back at work.
14. What was your biggest surprise post-surgery?
    How big my boobs were and the fact they had to settle/drop.
15. How closely did you follow your doctor’s advice?
    To the letter!
16. What did you do to get your home ready for your recovery?
    Nothing. Made sure my daughter wasn’t around for a couple of days so I could recover properly.
17. Anything you wish you’d done differently?
    No, very happy!
18. Were there any activities that were surprisingly difficult or painful?
    Everything was hard in the beginning. I was a little worried as I found it very difficult to raise my right arm although I could raise my left.
19. Was there anything you did that turned out to be surprisingly helpful?
    Rested!! Although I tried not to stay in bed all day.
20. How did your first “public appearance” with your new boobs go? Any advice for others?

21. Did you find any sites with really good advice on any part of the implant process?
    None specifically. I researched my surgeon and was very happy with him.
22. Have you had any complications?
    No.
23. Anything else you’d like to mention?
    I never thought that my dream would come true. Many thanks to all the people out there who made it possible. MFI was a very interesting experience filled with highs and lows! But it’s well worth the journey.

This image is, of course, an after.

This is not medical advice. This is advice from a woman who has had implant surgery. You should also ask your doctor as every person is different and you can’t be sure that your situation is the same as anyone else’s. If you’ve had surgery and would like to answer these questions, drop me a line, I’d love to include you.

Mas’s company created an international health scare with thousands of women who have received the implants fearing their implants could leak. Speaking out for the first time since the scandal erupted in December, Mas acknowledged that he had used unapproved silicone for the 300,000+ implants sold around the world, yet scoffed at the idea that it posed a health risk.

PIP closed down in March 2010 after health officials discovered the company using a non-medical grade silicone in the implants. A worldwide panic started last month when the French government advised women with the implants to have them removed due to possibilities of rupture and leakage into the body.

Though the implants were pulled from the market in several countries, European governments have taken different positions regarding the health risk. German, Czech and French authorities say the implants should be removed, while Britain says there is not enough evidence to suggest that the implants be taken out in all cases.

According to estimates, more than 42,000 women in Britain received the implants, over 30,000 in France, 9,000 in Australia, 4,000 in Italy, and nearly 25,000 were sold in Brazil.

The implants are not approved for use in the United States.

   Between 5 and 7 hours each night once my kids had gone to bed and when ever I could during the day.
5. What do you think was the most successful thing you did on the site?
   I made an intro video which was a powerpoint presentation, it included slides about myself, sample pics of some of my sets, slides describing what’s in my blogs and lots of cool animations and colours, I also had ‘Barbie girl’ playing throughout the slides. I used this to send to guys I hadn’t spoken before so I could introduce myself, it’s hard for us to write long individual hello messages to everyone so I found this was a great addition to a smaller personal hello. Many guys commented they had never seen anything like this on MFI.
6. Do you have any special advice for other ladies?
   You all have your own special personalities, your own quirks- let the guys see that, Don’t try and be someone you think they want you to be as you’ll find they actually appreciate getting to know the real you. Guys don’t just want to throw money at anyone they want to know the girl they are helping.
7. Tell us about your first and last donation.
   My first was from a really good friend, timboman. It was for winning a game of chess, we were friends for a long time and was actually one of my top5 benefactors but unfortunately we drifted apart for a while over something silly- I’m glad we made up in the end though. My last was shocking, it was for $400 sent at 11:55pm – 5 minuets before my birthday ended! It was from the most amazing friend Andy who really wanted to make my birthday a special one and he certainly succeeded!
8. How much of your total was from messages and how much from donations?
   $418 from messages and $5251.85 from donations.
9. When did you realize this might work for you?
   Kind of from the beginning I think, Although I was a little skeptical then once I got my first couple of donations I though wow this really is for real.
10. How big are you planning to go?
    525cc over the muscle hopefully taking me to a Full DD.
11. Do your friends and family know about you and MFI?
    Yea, all of them- I’m a very open person and don’t see me being on here as doing anything wrong so have had no need to hide it, My uncle thinks it’s a great- he sees it as me being proactive in finding a way to make a dream of mine come true, My dad is very skeptical. My partner has been extremely supportive and all my friends are wanting to check the site out.
12. What’s the best thing a benefactor did for you?
    My best friend on MFI Andy (aka bigfella987) was amazing, we met in my first few weeks on MFI and were instantly friends, he stuck with me throughout my whole journey, he supported me when I was down, and let me in when he needed someone. We shared our past lives to each other and found so much we loved about each other. He was my biggest benefactor almost from the beginning (donating about a quarter of my goal!!) and treated me like a princess. He loved hearing about my personal life and made me feel he was interested the matter how boring I was being. He was always making me laugh and forever smiling. He made personal sacrifices to help make my dream come true, putting me first all the time, it was an amazing feeling having someone care so much.
13. What was your favorite moment during your time on MFI?
    Around my birthday, I had so much support from both the guys and the ladies, a week or so before things went so fast- I was pushed onto the ctg, had offers of pifs, old friends sending messages of support so many people determined to see me make my goal on my birthday, I lost count of the amount of blogs mentioning a certain birthday girl on the ctg who they wanted to see in hof. This was all so over whelming.
14. Was there anyone who you took inspiration from on your trip to the Hall of Fame?
    Yes, so many of these brilliant ladies. Chantelle, Tina, Alex, Jackie, Lexy- They were all so lovely, they all helped me along my way, some offering advice through blogs or friends others passing donations my way. Each one of them are so special in their own ways, they have touched me with the support they’ve given and made me see how selfless people can be sometime.
15. Has being on MFI made any difference in your life besides breasts and time?
    A lot, My confidence has grown massively, I never used to allow my partner to take a picture of me which was hard as he’s a photographer but being on here gave me an extra push. It’s also made me see there are some lovely people out there who make such differences to individuals lives out of the kindness of their own hearts. And not forgetting it now means I can look really good in my wedding dress next year =)
16. Would you recommend it for a friend?
    Yes, I’ve told so many friends about it and loads want to sign up, My sister in law -SexyD is now on MFI, along with 3 more of my friends who are just signing up. I’ve just helped another friend tonight take her fan sign picture. Even the receptionist at the solicitors I took my papers to now wants to check out the site after I couldn’t help but tell her about it.
17. Which lady are you rooting for to succeed next?
    I am helping 2 ladies at the moment who I can’t wait to see in hof, firstly SexyD my sister in law- I would love to see her get her dream boobs she’s put up with my brother for so long now (which believe me can’t be easy :p) and given me the most beautiful niece making me an aunt for the first time so I would love to help her get to hof and be able to give something back to her. Secondly Jackie (Proudmama) This lady is amazing, her name says it all, she truly is such a devoted mum, gives so much to everyone, tried helping me on my journey even though she hadn’t made hof- how lovely is that!
18. What new feature would you most like to see on MFI?
    Being able to delete messages! It’s great being able to keep the ones that are special but would have been nice to be able to delete those messages of few words to we can find the ones we want easier.
19. If you could tell the benefactors here one thing, what would it be?
    Thank you so much each and every one of you for what you have done for me, you have truly made me such a happy girlie. You are the most kind, loving and giving group of guys I know. I’ll never find the right words but THANK YOU!

Bonus Questions

21. What question would you like me to ask the next person to make the Hall of Fame?
    Do you now wish your journey could have gone a little slower so you could still be enjoying the fun of being fully active?
22. How did you handle the guys who pushed your boundaries?
    I handled them quite well, me and my partner spoke about what we were both comfortable with a lot so I always knew what I would or wouldn’t do. If a guy pushed after I said no I was still always polite but stuck to my guns. I did change my own boundaries a little throughout my journey but that was always a decision made jointly by me and my partner.
