    Hi Richard Brodie -

    Yeah, and that big-eyed velvet kitty painting just screamed 'buy me!'....

    It's pretty well documented that we're suckers for the dewy big-eyed
    small-bodied look. Hell, that's what the houris are in paradise.

    But, we're just suckers for it. We ain't being suckered.
