    Quite amazing really - and she reckons she doesn't have a good voice!!  ..... Did you watch the interview on The Panel last weekend with Lisa Wilkinson?  Well worth a watch if it is on Preview somewhere?

    She video'd this some time ago - and good on her for contributing her time & status to promote checking yourself out.  

    Go Serena!

    No I didn’t @arpie - don’t watch my tv these days and mainly abc plus a lot happening here with my sons .I’ll try to find it - apparently it’s part of a new BCNA fundraiser I gather involving  a new bra. (?) Not too sure of the details.

    Can't say I'm much of a Serena fan - I do prefer the one by the Aussies that was released after Chrissie died.  I guess they're trying to appeal to an international audience using Serena.

    Original version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeaO2BrrIf8&feature=youtu.be Like @romla's but not remixed.  Sarah McLeod, Deborah Conway, Connie Mitchell, Little Pattie, Sarah Blasko, Olivia Newton-John, Kate Ceberano, Suze DeMarchi, Megan Washington, and Katie Noonan

    Little Patti was Chrissie Amphlett’s cousin.

    Serena is a brand ambassador for Berlei. But, I  agree with @Romla and @Sister, the Australian women's version is superior.

    I was fortunate enough to see the stage show, in Melbourne, The Boy from Oz with Chrissie Amphlett playing Judy Garland and she was brilliant - my Mum kept saying who is she?  She is fabulous!

    Saw her on the TV this morning.  My hubby, not pleased at all. Not long since her tennis tantrum.

    Lulling people into a false sense of security in my opinion.  I had no lump and 3 specialists couldn't feel anything at all yet I had a 7cm mass  and ended up with a mastectomy. Touching myself would b no use at all and i hope women dont see this touch yourself stuff and think that if they cant feel anything they can avoid the discomfort of a mammogram. I know many cancers are found this way but it isn't foolproof. And no I'm not overweight and my boobs were on the large side of average. Also to me that style of education sexualizes the issue as before Chrissy was diagnosed we all know what this song is actually about. Just my opinion

    Interesting views from all - is a big BCNA / Berlei campaign which may be as controversial as the recent song choice of our PM.
