Chubby man in tutu pirouettes around to fight cancer

3/21/2012

​Meet Bob Carey, seen here wearing his favorite tutu while hanging around with some cows. Carey says he first started taking pictures of himself at various locales -- always in the pink tutu -- as a kind of coping mechanism to deal with a move to the East Coast (is it that bad?). But when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer six months later, The Tutu Project was transformed into a fundraising venture benefiting the likes of Cancercare.org. For $500, you can get a 20 x 24-inch signed tutu print and help this big-hearted ballerina reach his goal of raising $75,000. Hey Bob, how much to get you to put some clothes on?
