Hello all,

Sorry if this is a bit trivial, but here goes: I have a calendar above my
desk. The calendar features the work of Alphonse Mucha, who drew a lot of
advertisements for things like bicycles, perfume, and liquor in the early
1900s (IIRC). His drawings typically feature women with long, flowing hair
and drapey, goddess-type clothing.

So it's a new month. I flipped my calendar page to the month of June, only
to discover that this month's featured drawing was a liquor advertisement.
So what's the problem? The ad depicts a bottle of liquor held by a
bare-breasted woman. Now, the fact that she's..um...exposed isn't super
super obvious, and the calendar is in a position such that you'd have to be
fairly close to my cubicle (like, right behind me) to see it. The drawing
doesn't offend me, particularly, but I'm a gov't contractor on a client site
and the office I'm in does get a fair amount of traffic.

So what do you think? Should I ink in some pasties for the liquor lady? Am I
worrying too much about this?
