Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Cancer Vixen: A True Story




Published by Alfred A. Knopf in September 2006, one of the Tea Room's favorite illustrators, Marisa Acocella Marchetto, has written and illustrated a must-buy book on her experiences with finding a lump in her breast days before her wedding.

The Whorehouse met Marisa when producing Cynthia Rowley's shows.

From Marisa's website www.marisaacocellamarchetto.com - “What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, single-forever, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?”

The author is donating a percentage of the proceeds from the this book to provide breast care for underprivileged women at the Comprehensive Cancer Center affiliated with St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan and to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

In 1994, Marisa published "Just Who The Hell Is She, Anyway?"
