Subject: JANE CASTING CALL

I'm casting 50 pairs of breasts for JANE's "Guide to Boobs". I am looking for 50 girls who are down to get topless. All colors, shapes, and sizes please! Here are your opportunities:

Shoot dates: March 2, 3, 4 (fri, sat, sun) NYC

You MUST agree to have your naked breasts photographed. You will be shot from the neck down and will not be identified. Some categories I'm really on the hunt for are:

small around, large breasts
small around, small breasts
medium
large around, large breasts
small around, large breasts

Be photographed topless and with your bra on (we’re not sure which we’ll run yet) and tell us in one sentence something about your boobs (why you love them, why you hate them, etc.) Your first name and age will be used. All participants will receive $50.

Editor's Note: $50 is enough to buy a very nice new bra...

"small around, large breasts
small around, small breasts
medium
large around, large breasts
small around, large breasts"

Your punctuation is lousy and the statement makes no sense at all. Could you be a little more clear on what exactly you mean by such inane terms as "small around, large breasts"? (which you repeat).

Makes NO sense at all!

Made sense to me, here's the translation:

skinny chick, big tits
skinny chick, little tits
average
fat chick, big tits
fat chick, big tits

I guess that's what we get as a nation for trying to be so politically correct.

Maybe bear should email the Jane person...seeing as that's the person whose phrasing you are critiquing

You should hop on over to http://www.MyFreeImplants.com I'm sure the ladies over there would be willing to participate. You could even get a few before an afters.

STORM IN A B CUP: Jane editor in chief Brandon Holley said the magazine has apologized to 53 young women who volunteered to be in an anonymous photo shoot of their breasts for inadvertently exposing their identities in an e-mail. Late on Wednesday, Gawker.com wrote that a magazine staffer had e-mailed a call sheet to volunteers containing all of their names. The staffer followed normal protocol — except the women had been promised anonymity. Though Gawker did not disclose the women's names, it claimed there were "more than a few Condé Nast girls on the list, a few local newspaper gals — including one nubile young photo editor." Holley, reached in Paris, called it a "simple human error that we deeply regret," and added: "I'm not mad at" the staffer responsible. Holley said the shoot was for a story to encourage a healthy self-image about one's breasts, and that she wasn't sure if the women would be topless or wearing swimwear or bras. Of the 53 initially chosen, only four have since dropped out. — Irin Carmon
