   Is it white ink on a black shirt with "Kate Bush The Sensual World"
in gold running vertically down the right? Does it look anything like
this:

?

   I bought two of these shirts in Kansas City.

   As far as the shirts being "bootlegs"...there *are no* legitimate
Kate T-Shirts for sale. Apart from the few promotional shirts that
EMI and CBS distributed at the album release, and the "stealth
shirts" sold at the last Konvention. (Is anyone else annoyed that
these shirts lack the words "Kate Bush" and have no image of 
Kate on them? These shirts are a *very* clear indication (to me) 
of Kate's battle with depression.)

   Its hard to consider a product seriously "bootleg" when no
legitimate product exists. I'd love it if Kate/Novercia would
authorize someone to make official Kate shirts. But I have
major doubts that they will happen. We *could* make completely
legal shirts, by purchasing rights from one of the *other*  Kate 
photographers like Guido Harada. In spite of the beliefs of record
company legal departments, a "public figure" only has rights
to the images they own, and if you take a picture of a public
figure in a public situation, you have a perfect right to exploit
that.
