This is the most unexpected breast cancer research charity thingie I have ever seen. (worksafe)

...and I notice Amazon.com has it for about $40 cheaper, still with the donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Ah, I've seen these. I still don't think I'd purchase a pink Kitchen Aid mixer, but I guess it's the thought that counts.

The irony is just last night I was thinking "I really need a new stand mixer." Pink wouldn't necessarily be my first choice for a green and white kitchen, but it wouldn't clash or anything.

I don't know if I'm impressed or sardonic about the sudden explosion of sheer *stuff* for breast cancer awareness this month. Half of me is thinking "hey, this is probably gonna make the donations roll in" and the other half is going "when you're selling t-shirts at the supermarket checkout, you've officially jumped the shark."

We were at the local Target and they had an entire WALL of pink colored kitchen items, including the mixer.

I agree the thought is important, but the idea of outfitting my kitchen so it looks like it was hosed down with Pepto Bismol is a little stomach churning.

I figure, I've already got the Pampered Chef pink clips and measuring cup, although a blender is a really big jump.

On the other hand, another part of me is going "Target, eh? There's a Target near me, I can at least look at the thing." Although I was there on Sunday and no pink at all.

On the fence. I kinda want a new blender; pink wouldn't be my first choice, but for $50 for research, I could live with it.

Oh and I totally agree about the upside of purchasing! I've done a few Breast Cancer walks and have donated a lot to the research cause myself.

It's just the visual is a tad overwhelming.

What's unexpected about it? If you want to beat breast cancer, what better than an automated beater?
