Putting it ON my chest

Thanks to the ironies of modern medicine, I have a pretty nice rack, to borrow my husband's phrase. Sure, what I spent on "the Wotowics" could feed and educate a third world family for a year or so, but dammit, as long as I was having the tummy tuck and the lipo, I might as well get my money's worth from the anethesia and the recuperation period.
No, I'm not trying to get a date. I have a political reason for making this disclosure, it's just another idea help you get your points noticed. (Yes, I know, I've gone too far)

My niece is 14, so when she wears words on her pants, it's cute it a girlie sort of way. When 50-something Goldie Hawn sported "Juicy" on her backside, however, I kept thinking, "Maybe... but I doubt it and I really would rather not think about it." But that's another tangent. I'm getting around to this. If you're going to write somethin' on your backside (or frontside), make it count! Why spent a buttload of money on upscale euro-centric clothes to promote upscale euro-centric clothes, when you could sport a very fashionable anti-war message instead? Even the Gap gets that peace is cool and by implication, in contrast, war is stupid, which might be a good thing to express with your chiseled cheeks.

As in Freeway blogging (http://www.freewayblogger.com/) and those little Sweetheart Valentine's Day candies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweethearts_%28candy%29), the message must be extremely concise. Freeway blogs are good to copy, Convesation Hearts (like "Kiss Me", "Whiz Kid" or "Hot Mail", generally, are not. Similarly, I don't recommend sending your teens to school with the word "Peace" written across either their chest or tush. Given our national trend to suck at spelling, the message would probably be misunderstood.

Reminds me of the Happy Hippis who named their daughter Easy Flowing Essence. By the time she got to high school, they saw how short-sighted they'd been to nick-name her "Easy".

I just discovered t-shirt transfers I can make in my printer. I'm having oodles of fun! On election day, for example: I walked all over town with VOTE printed front and back in the largest letters I can find. But it's not just t-shirts and asses! In terms of getting creative with message placement, I even tried to sell advertising space on my bald head on e-bay. (post chemo -- another story June 2006). One woman used her pregnant belly to promote a casino, but it would have made a great space for a peace symbol, don't you think?
Y'all have such great ideas. What would you say and wear (pun intended) would you say it?
