Friends, strangers, I want to share with you something I long thought I’d hallucinated, but which today I have discovered was absolutely real.
In the 90s my mum went to a number of Star Trek conventions and would often come home with a fan made tshirt. I need you to understand that my mother, barely 5’ tall, a catholic who to this day goes to church every Sunday, who was never heard to utter a swear word until I was in my twenties, who taught Grade One for decades at the local primary school. This woman, pure and innocent, went to a Star Trek convention and not only saw this tshirt but PURCHASED IT and now it’s been rediscovered in the garage and I’ve never been happier in my life.

I asked her what she was thinking and she said that she thought it was funny but when she brought it home my dad was (aside from side splittingly amused) absolutely adamant that she couldn’t wear it out in public because SHE WANTED TO DO THAT!! Grade One teacher, church on Sunday mum wanted to wear this around town! Who IS this woman I thought I knew??
Anyway now I have this awesome tshirt and I sort of want to frame it.

I put in a $50 offer on a vintage T-shirt on eBay that was listed for $75, and it was accepted in less than 5 minutes. I wasn’t really wanting to spend $50 but I was feeling a bit impulsive.
I will consider it a treat for all my hard work lately.

I Completely understand your desire to frame the spock shirt. To preserve it, commemorate it.
But don't you think it deserves to be worn?
Doesn't the world deserve to see it?
Please wear the shirt. Do it for the shirt. Do it for the unknown artist. Do it for your mum. Do it for me, a stranger whose mum absolutely loved spock and also data and who spent a lot of her life not doing silly things she wanted to do because of what other people would think.
All the best.
Never fear, the woman herself has been wearing it and loving herself sick in it. Several other vintage trek tees have also been brought out of retirement but none of those are risqué enough to warrant a pic (or a 15K note post).
