| Once upon a time (1963 - 1970, to be exact) there was an American sitcom called Petticoat Junction, which was about the plucky rural proprietor of The Shady Rest Hotel, Katy Bradley, her lazy-but-lovable Uncle Joe, and her three young and lovely daughters: Billie Jo, Bobby Jo, and Betty Jo (d'ya sense a theme...?). The show took place in an oh-so-cleverly-named town called Hooterville, but still managed to edge into the feminist landscape by regularly depicting the girls performing roles formerly relegated to boys, including the youngest daughter, Betty Jo, regularly running the Hooterville Cannon, the local train.Why are we telling you all of this (aside from a thinly-veiled attempt to once again glory in the glowing victory our 12 yr old selves once experienced when we won a district-wide trivia contest after we were able to provide the title of the show as the winning answer? See, Mom?! Watching TV all summer really does pay off in the end!)? Because if that show proved anything, it proved that you can be a plucky badass dame who flounces around in fluffy petticoats and runs the local train. And with this 12 Purple 2-Layer Petticoat, there's a lot of fluffy flounce to be had! Wear it under your costume to perk things, or by itself to give your costume a dash of daring flair. Woot-woot! |
