You would be forgiven for thinking it's the title of the latest raunchy novel to hit bookstores - but it's actually the name of an upcoming charity event to support local women affected by breast cancer.

Hosted by Hunter Business Women's Network and fellow women's networking group GenXwomen, the evening will feature food and cocktails, harbour views, prizes and the chance to network with plenty of inspiring Hunter women - all with the aim of supporting the Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation.

Hunter Business Women's Network member Sharon Waterhouse said the two groups were more than happy to support the cause.

"It's very close to our hearts," she said.
