It’s a brand new year for our friends in Australia, most of Europe too, the UK is about to countdown, and here in the States we’re finishing last minute preparations. According the the Mayans (hope they’re wrong) this could be our last NYE, so it may be a good excuse to party like the world is ending! However you spend your NYE, we wish everyone at MyFreeImplants a boob filled year and look forward to all the new ladies joining and hitting hall of fame in 2012.

A Groupon that offered reduced price breast augmentation has been criticized and banned by the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) in the UK.

Here is the initial offer from Groupon. “Today’s deal in Manchester. Today’s deal: £1,999 Instead of £5,000 for Cosmetic Surgery Such as Breast Augmentation and Rhinoplasty at Birkdale Clinic. View now. For £1,999,” said the emailed advertisement.

The deal only lasted for that day (which is normal for Groupon), and thus required that users would have had to make a hasty decision about whether they wanted the operation. In my opinion, plastic surgery is not something to make a less than 24 hour decision on. The ASA mentioned this in its summary, adding, “Further down the same page, the web page stated ‘Altering the physique needs a lot of careful consideration, a substantial amount of initial information and is better performed by someone who knows best’”

Groupon has responded to the criticism from the ASA and will now extend the purchase period of future deals involving plastic surgery.

A happy Turkey Day from all of us at MyFreeImplants. I hope everyone enjoys their “breasts” as much as we do!

Our latest site sponsored photo contest involved creating a MyFreeImplants “Fan Sign” with a Halloween theme. We had over 55 fan signs submitted but these three (3) were the top public vote receiving entries.

Our grand prize goes to Kaylou the “witch”. Kaylou (a previous contest runner up) will receive a $250 donation for her first win!

MFI’s Batman aka Josh is our 1st runner up. It’s always great to see donors enter the photo contests. Josh will receive $150 in MFI boob bucks!

It’s been quite a week for MsBoobyMoon, our 2nd runner up and recipient of a $100 donation. She was a winner in our breast cancer photo contest and was also made a featured girl!

We had dozens of quality entries to our Pink Photo Contest but unfortunately we can only pick three winners. The following ladies were selected based on the effort and creativity of their photos as well as their accompanying story.

The Grand Prize winner with $500 in her name to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure goes to SweetBunny

“My Grandmother died in her early 50′s from breast cancer when I was only about 10 years old. Out of nowhere she began to constantly be sick, and finally went to the doctor. After a complete physical, the doctor found cancer in her breasts. The most unfortunate part is if she would have had regular screenings, her cancer could have been easily treated. Instead, by the time it was caught, the cancer had already started to spread and she died within a year of her diagnosis. Because of the suffering I saw my Grandmother go through, I will never go without getting my regular physicals. Even though I joke that “I would probably notice a 3rd breast next to my mosquito bites,” deep down I know the importance of regular screenings. I’ve only had one family member die of this terrible disease, but One is One Too Many.”

The 2nd Prize winner of $300 to The National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund goes to MissBoobyMoon

“My stepdaughter and I made this picture for the pink ribbon contest. I never had breast cancer, but last year I got another type of cancer. The day I turned 30 I got a letter to go to the doctor. After the visit my doctor called me very worried and told me I have to come to his office A.S.A.P.! The results were not good and I was very shocked to hear that I had cervical cancer. I feel for all the woman who get any type of cancer, so that’s why I felt the big urge to be a part of this contest and show my support! I have to go to the doctor next month to check if I’m cancer free.”

The 3rd Prize winner of $200 to Young Survival Coalition goes to KayDeeStafford

“I have taken the words Breast Cancer and crossed out the the letters R and S. When people look at this photo I want them to see the words BEAT CANCER rather than Breast Cancer. I want to remind everyone that with their continued help and support, we can defeat this illness. Cancer affects the lives of so many people, and sending out a positive message is important; not only to raise awareness and money, but also to give our support to those who are suffering and remind them they can beat this!”
