I'll respond to your points but I must say that it seems that you ignored
the rest of my post to make your point. Read the part of my post under your
quoted lines and you'll see what I mean.

Good enough explaination to me. After having a second look at her I'll
admit that she's not as bad as I originally thought..nowhere near as bad
(IMHO) as Pirate Wench or Islander Babe.

Hardly. My point though is that some of the recent female minifigs aren't
quite appropriate for the age TLC is focusing their sets on (last I looked
it was between 6 and 12 years old for System). I'm just not too comfortable
with a 6 year old boy bringing something like the Pirate Wench up to me and
asking "What's that?" as he points to her cleavage. As a parent *I'LL*
choose when to discuss the differences between boys and girls, etc, and I'll
thank toy manufacturers to refrain from producing playthings that might
force the issue.

Agreed (especially with regard to my chastity belt crack...I don't think too
many kids would go there :-). Again, feel free to call me a prude.
