Thats kind of why I suggested thinking about the use of color... anytime I see anything pink -- I automatically go to breast cancer-- that color is just ingrained in me with that cause... Though I'm not sure how easily identifiable purple is with the massacre )

had she not mentioned what the cause was... I would not have gotten that...

(This site kind of explains the color and the cause - -purple has a bunch of different causes associated with it)

Though the lines on the candle are quite feminine so i do get women... (as compared to Amnesty International's candle which has much harder lines to it)
