The t-shirt dilema
So a while back while taking those silkscreen classes and I burned a screen that I thought would be used to make t-shirts that said, “thank you for not being perky” with a couple of stars scattered around. After burning and looking at the screen I envisioned it on a t-shirt more closely and realized that once it was emblazoned across someones chest it would suddenly be all about TITS and their perkiness or lack thereof.
Am I right? Should I make a couple of t-shirts anyway? A few people have suggested it but may also have not though about the sudden tit reference once it is written across your chest. What say you?
Thank you for making this about boobs.

You could always put the slogan on the back of the t-shirt, thereby eliminating the boob-crisis.

AHA HA HA! Yes, it would totally be about Teh Boobs. I like Carly’s idea.

As long as the stars aren’t like, one star on each nipple. Or maybe worse, just above each nipple.

this made me giggle! i’d wear it on the back but would feel selfconscious about it on the front.
but it did make me wonder – what does the ‘perky’ in your title refer to? sorry to sound thick…

When I was first reading your text the boob part of “perky” did not occur to me. However, when you mentioned it I realized that I would have caught that too, sooner or later, and after that the shirt’s slogan would have been a boob joke for me, whether intentional or unintentional. I am with Liz, though, that if it is an innocent slogan (which it is) and if the stars aren’t placed suggestively then it’s just a great t-shirt.
Besides, I think Freud would observe that your slogan was always about boobs anyway, and probably was referring to your mother too.
