First shirt decal...

.....interpretation of Betty Page......

This would be a better way to go actually. If you want a woman and a hotdog on a T-shirt, why not consider a style similar to WW2 bomber mascots?  Betty Page did many and most of her shots with twice as much fabric as your picture shows. Using a style like that would appeal to all ages if your mascot is riding a hotdog like a dropped bomb. If it was good enough for a Flying Fortress, it will work for you.
Your mascot is physically impossible and and dressed by Fredrick's of Hollywood. I am reminded of a popular comic book character with teens:

The funny thing is that if she had a hotdog in her hand, it would keep in line with your ideas.  The point is that we have gone from when Betty was something that grandpa had hidden, to this being acceptable to all ages.

I saw a guy who was riding his bicycle on the downtown bike path with only a thong. Pure butt-cheeks from the backside. Wish I had a camera as posting it would demonstrate the point. Sure you can do it, but who wants to see it.

Here is a great T-shirt from a Roadfood favorite, Crif's. There is just a hint of innuendo.

OK  I stated before I like the drawing and artwork. But as for printing on shirts,would leave the girl in bikini off and leave the slogan.  If people are offended,so be it. Have a t-shirt collection with worst sayings and meanings than you present, from very upscale places,restaurants. Bought, in their gift shops. Granted I do not wear them in public, sister has bought them for me as well.  I collect this stuff. Let me known when you intend to sell.

 I for one could care less what you sell or whats on your tee shirt. If your come into this Forum and ask for opinions of your work you better be able to take criticism. Take the good and the bad and live with the comments. Ask me no questions tell me no lies...........There are many people in this site with very high values. I'm not surprised by the comments at all. Just because I don't agree with the saying doesn't mean I don't want you succeed.
  When you go to a County fair there are 100 food booths. Everyone has a different taste. When you ask different people what is the best food booth you will get 100 different answers. To each their own....Its not up to me to judge you or your values. The one thing you will get from this site is the truth. Take that and do with it as you please.......Good luck .....................Bill............P.S I would make the girl a bit better looking....that is one hard looking Chic

Geez Billy B...I didn't even notice her face!

Holy guacamole! St. Mark's Place in Manhattan? Now that is some shabby chic real estate! The guy must be a true master.

The inner child(ish adult) in me likes the shirt design! If this is what Slick wants to do, then I say "go for it!" Maybe some folks are correct in that he will lose business because of it, maybe he will make some money (in a carpy economy) because people will see it as the playful humor it is. Ask 10 people there opinion on the designs, and you will get 10 different answers. Just be prepared to have people not agree with yours and not take it personally. It's only an internet forum.

Now I'm wondering...who is to wear the T-shirt; a guy or female? If the guy wears it, that is soooo gay. If the female wears it, it makes her look like a slut that gives BJ's.

You take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have the facts of life the facts of life. lol i couldn't resist that tv show popped in my head after reading this thread
 
In a way I see both sides to this. I agree with the others on it being a little too visual, but I think you have an idea that will work. Personally I would make it a little more mild. Maybe "Big Slicks just served another big weiner" with the girl on the logo. This way a guy or a girl can wear it.  I know you may say it is no different but when you get too visual as in "BJ" it goes to a new level. This is jusy my 2 cents. I am a single, fairly young guy that has had my share of strip clubs and partying and even I think this is a tad too much lol. Not that age has anything to do with it. Maybe give it away to ladies at a night club for promoting your cart but I do not see a woman paying money to wear t shirts with slogans like that in their daily life.   
 
I wouldn't waste too much energy arguing or debating or pointing out who's opinion is right or wrong. These are some good people with solid advice and experience. I wouldn't let a picture get in the way of getting good advice from someone later.
 
Good Luck I hope it works out
