Tila Tequila is among several notable TV personalities who bared all this month in support of Keep A Breast Foundation’s unique online auction of painted plaster breast casts. These one-of-a-kind pieces combine sculpture, philanthropy, and symbolic artistry to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention and early detection.

  In the span of 12 hours, bidding on Tila’s cast had reached $44,500 with eight days still left in the auction before it ends on November 6. Her cast is featured along with the hosts of E! Entertainment’s That Morning Show and Cristal Camden of The Girls Next Door.  

Tila posted on her blog: “I am so excited to be able to work with Keep A Breast Foundation! It’s a great charity that I work with that help raises money for Breast Cancer [Awareness]” Later, twittering non-stop to her fans as her breast cast jumped thousands of dollars as she upped the auction with promises of a personal phone call and kiss for the winner, and matching tweets for dollars to her TilaArmy that she would donate up to $10,000 for people to tweet about the Keep A Breast Foundation and the auction. As the bidding rose this morning to $44,500 with 8 days left to bid. Tila wrote on her twitter “Wow! I just checked and now my boobies are at $44,500.00!! Incredible!!! I’m gonna cry of joy! xox”

Look To The Stars reported on a similar initiative organized by the charity last year featuring Katy Perry. Perry breast cast raised $3,500 for the cause

Proceeds from the breast casts, which were painted by artists Mike Maxwell, Caia Koopman, Carly Ealey, Brant Sandor and Randy Janson, will benefit the Keep A Breast Foundation’s mission of raising awareness amongst young teens and adults across the nation about prevention and early detection.  We would be happy to provide photos of the celebrities during the casting process along with the finished products. The auction will be live until November 6 at www.keep-a-breast.org.

A plaster cast of chart-topping singer Katy Perry’s breasts has been sold for charity.

The plaster bust was made back in August 2008 to raise money for Keep-a-Breast, an organization that produces art events that increase breast cancer awareness among young people and benefit breast cancer education, prevention and treatment programs in communities around the world. They are famous for creating plaster forms of the female torso, which are then customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise funding for breast cancer.

“Someone paid US$3500 for a mould of my breasts,” said the 24-year-old singer. “That’s a lot in a recession.”

Last month, Perry donated handwritten song lyrics to Jewel’s auction to raise money for Project Clean Water.

Singer Katy Perry has had a plaster cast made of her chest for a breast cancer charity.

Keep-a-Breast produces art events that increase breast cancer awareness among young people and benefit breast cancer education, prevention and treatment programs in communities around the world. They are famous for creating plaster forms of the female torso, which are then customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise funding for breast cancer.

23-year-old Perry – who recently performed during the 2008 Vans Warped Tour – joined other musicians from the tour to have a plaster cast made of her breasts, which will then be painted and auctioned off later this year.

“It’s like paper mache, when you’re in first grade and you make a paper mache ball, but now they’re using my boobies … And [boyfriend] Travis [McCoy] is going to paint it,” Perry told MTV News. “I think this is going to be auctioned off, and I think the auction will go for a week … and I’m gonna blog about it, and spread it.”

Perry’s current single, I Kissed a Girl, is currently making a huge splash on charts around the world, and the rising star is happy to use her popularity for a good cause.

“Educate yourself and also do something for someone else by making this the highest bidded breast mold ever.”
