::THE FABRIC OF SPACETIME IS TORN, AS AM I::

I've been in crush with a t-shirt I saw in a Delia's catalog. It's chalkboard-black, with drawn-on-looking stars, rockets, and space bits. Yay! Today I see it in a website:


They even have a hoodie and sweatpants to match! (Though I would never pay $130 for a hoodie, much less $110 for sweatpants, however cute they are.)

But here's the rub. The ad that got me onto the website was this:


And while my mind flashed, "Is that Jessica Simpson? Noooo," my fearingly fearsome fears were confirmed when I read the text for the shirt:
"We love the playful whimsical prints from Made U Look. They definately (sic) do just that. The rocket tee is a fitted and shaped crewneck tee hitting at the hips, it also glows in the dark! Jessica Simpson made this tee skyrocket to stardom."
Damn that it glows in the dark.

UPDATE: Okay, wait. Seems Delia's is out of the t-shirt. But I found one that's equal in its cuteness, and greater than in its disconnect from pop stars I hate: Link.
Comments:
You would not be surprised that I've wanted this shirt since I saw it, too.
