Behind the T-shirt: Winter Park Sinkhole 1981

On May 1, 1981, a sinkhole 320 feet wide and 90 feet deep formed in the middle of Winter Park, Florida.

It swallowed a Porsche dealership, a 2 story house, and a public pool.

A t-shirt commemorating this natural disaster exists for sale at Skippy Haha Vintage on Etsy. The same t-shirt on Defunkd. Perfect condition. Size Large.

New Year, New News!

Hello vintage t-shirt fans!

Couple new tidbits to share for 2013.

First, I started selling t-shirts on the sweet t-shirt lovers website, Defunkd. Owner Jimmy J is a true aficionado, so obsessed (in a great way) with t-shirts he's made the vintage t-shirt collective, complete with the priceless resource - Brandpedia.

My t-shirts can be found here: Skippy Haha Vintage on Defunkd.

Defunkd is for t-shirts ONLY (keep shopping my Etsy store for awesome vintage sweaters, jackets, western shirts, decor) - and the t-shirts I've posted on Defunkd are discounted a couple of dollars from Etsy. Get a great deal from a great website. 

Secondly, I added a new section to my Etsy shop: SALE $10 dollar tees

These shirts are extremely sweet, extremely authentic, extremely cheap. All sizes, colors, ages. At $10 a pop they won't last long so get em while they're hot!
