Sci Fi Rockets

It's been a truly epic month for unicorn hunting: I've gotten my hands on some pieces I never thought would ever be mine, including my top two Trashy Diva must-haves. A sweet friend of mine decided to let both her French Quarter skirt and her Sci-Fi Rockets Rockette dress go, and offered to sell them to me, so perhaps 'unicorn hunting' isn't really the right phrase to use. It was more like 'unicorn oh my god yes please I would love to buy these from you *keyboard smash of maximum excitement!*'

I don't even care that my hair is all wonky here, because this photo perfectly captured the way this dress makes me feel.

One Skirt, Three Ways: Tiki Jenny Skirt (!!!)

Warning: I consumed a great deal of caffeine shortly before sitting down to write this post, and this was my ultimate Pinup Girl Clothing holy-grail skirt, so this post may contain even more exclamation points than usual.

For many fans of pinup style, the Tiki Jenny is the big kahuna. (Yeah, I did that on purpose. No shame.) It was at the tippy-top of my wishlist for ages, and one magical day, lightning struck! The brilliant Jessica of Warning: Curves Ahead and Fortuna Femme spotted one on the swap group on Facebook, tagged me, claimed it in my name, and even offered to lay out the cash to the seller so that I could have it! When I saw all of that, I actually had too many feelings to function! I was just so excited and touched by her thoughtfulness and kindness. 

Pinup Girl Clothing Queen of Hearts Skirt

Lately, I've had tremendously good luck getting discontinued prints from a Facebook swap/sell group I'm part of. In the past month or so, I've picked up my ultimate unicorn, the tiki-print Jenny skirt, the tomato-print dress I'd loved from afar for ages, and the subject of today's post: the Queen of Hearts print!
