I am proud to announce that I now have earned the true mark of distinction for an author, I officially have become censored!

I was aware that because the tough conditions that The Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic puts in their vendor qualification rules, all frontal nudity had to be replaced for the Old Navy Tiki Icon version (QUIZ: Which !?), but now that I have a copy I find that one section of text has also been cut:

In "Tiki who was he?", the 3rd, (phallic) definition, with offending words like "penis" (Yuk!) and clitoris (te-he, snicker) has been completely omitted and replaced by definition Nr. 4, god of the artists. No hanky panky for Old Navy!

It is only fair then that, for the loss of boobage and smut words, you have to pay 2.50 less than the normal version....(but you get 6 never before published images! (Quiz: Which?))

The four greeting card motifs come in a very cool orange flower patterned cardboard box with velcro latch (5.- bucks for 12 cards and envelopes). Not a bad product, wish it would be more widely available than only Old Navy stores.
