OK, I've gone and had a look (hadn't bothered previously) although I seriosuly doubt your images are the cause for the thread - it just happened to be the image that provided the impetus... it could have been any of a number of other images, I suspect. Heh, cute but I see what Dave says about it appearing incongruous - definately out-of-place. Personally I don't think it really needs changing, but if you were to change it you have 2 problems: 1. If you don't put a bikini on her then you'll risk offending those who don't like seeing nekkid humaniforms (perhaps especially children rather than "even children"). 2. If you do put a bikin on her (I'd go with blue myself, at least that's what I pictured) you risk offending people who buy and then complain "where's my bikini? There's one on the image, surely that means I bought a bikin as part of the pack??". Or to put it another way, you're in a no-win situation. I think on balance you have already taken the most "sensible" approach - as out of place as it looks - seemingly avoiding either of the major pitfalls while managing to find your own niche pitfall (callign attention to sexuality by smudging). I suspect that there is no win-win situation with this liek there's no win-win situation in many of lifes little trials. At least you got your product talked about (as a neat side-effect!). Cheers, Cliff PS if my diatribe above has anything to do with your becoming concerned at the images use then please discount it - it really is a reaction to a few recent posts which apparently belittle current "anti-pedophile" attitudes which set me off, and neither the model nor your texture in any way concern me. I'm daft but I'm not THAT daft!
