Breast Cancer Belly dance fundraiser ideas?

Hi everyone
not sure where to post this but I thought I would start here. members of our troupe have participated in a local breast cancer fundraiser here called "Bust of Steamboat" The event calls for artists or whoever wants to create a piece of art or sculpture or painting or something involving a bra or boobs. The pieces are then auctioned off at a fun event at a local restaurant. Examples include paintings, photography, 3-d diorama with bras in them...the list goes on. You can check out some examples here thebustofsteamboat.org
anyhoo, we are going to auction off a vintage beaded and blinged beledi set and one of us will dance in it during the live auction.
We are looking for a NAME for our "piece" related to the event.
one of the girls started off with "bellies and boobs" but i think we can do better :)
Any ideas???
Help!!

      I think that is cute!

      Hey....you know we have a fun breastcancer fundraiser down in Denver called Shimmy for the Cure. I am actually one of the sponsors so go for it bc I love seeing all of us out there fighting this!!!

      I think Racks sharqi is a great name....

        Hi Phoenix!
        I do know about Shimmy for the Cure! In fact, i think that is why I am having a mental block for a name because I can't stop thinking "SHimmy for the cure" would be good! lol
        The woman I am working with didn't know if non-bellydancers would "get" racks sharqi...although i love it.
        This is not a dance specific event, it is a very eclectic group of artisits and presentations. Racks sharqi would be a good name for something in your event, though!

          Cool...we are doing it again in January with local instructors to get the deposit money together and then June with Princess Farhana this year. You guys should head this way for it this year.

          Actually ... when you see the postings, you will see that we are changing the name to Shimmy 2B Free now. 'For the Cure' is trademarked by Susan Korman foundation so since we are going to grow....we thought best to have not have any issues with naming.

          I see about the concern for Racks Sharqi (non bellydance)...why not name it that with a translation subtitle? Or could name it something about decorating the racks....Sparkling Racks or something silly like that .... lets them know it is a glittery/glam item for the boobs? hahaha

          Good luck...I hope it is a hit!!!
