Willow, what do you think?
As I wrote to crikkett last night, the addition of the clitoris cartoon to my avatarwas a gift from psynapz as a way of honoring Project Willow's "discovery" and campaign, which I promptly accepted and it seems to have pleased her.

I don't want to be upsetting people and will go with consensus on this.

The solution is that I just can't read Rigorous Intuition outside of my own desk. I've told Jack several times to keep his avatar. I'm okay. It's blocked.
Now about your art, itself: you're not trying to pull a "Georgia O'keefe" with your artwork and be tastefully suggestive. You are leaving nothing to chance. That's good. And I imagine that you intentionally made your design disarming, cute, and positive, which is how I see it when it's in a different context. I think that our society needs it and I hope it gets so wildly popular that I see it on lapel pins and shower curtains. You're doing the world a service and I thank you.
