Just see how the reaction to TikiFish's suggestion differs according to gender. For the male, the Aloha shirt is his plumage and represents his masculinity, and thus his penis. The act of cutting up the Aloha shirt therefore represents a psychological castration of the male. The pieces of cut shirt are then tuned into a purse, representing a subsequent insult to the male psyche as the 'penis' is then turned into a 'vagina'. No wonder Tiki Chris & Trader Woody recoiled with horror at this idea. Perhaps more worrying is the glee with which many of the females embraced the shirt into purse idea; one going so far as to type in capital letters in her haste and willingness to 'castrate' the male members of TikiCentral. Perhaps these males would be wise to grasp their Tiki mugs more tightly if they were to see a female coming towards them clutching an Aloha purse." Trader Woody
