Princess Leia "Wishful Drinking" T-Shirt

 

I absolutely love this shirt.  Princess Leia with a martini while little pills fly around in the background.  The pure amount of awesome in this image is almost enough to make me go blind from looking directly at it.  It's almost like looking at a solar eclipse.  It's such an amazing thing, but you can't look directly at it because it's just too much for your eyes to take.

 

Wishful Drinking, of course, is Carrie Fisher's one woman stage show in which she candidly discusses her life growing up the as the daughter of two of America's biggest movie stars at the time and the alcoholism and drug addiction that lead her to later in life.  If you'd like to hear an interview with her talking about the show, go here.

 

And yes, I realize it's totally wrong to want to own a shirt about a play that showcases a woman discussing her addictions, but come on, I didn't make the shirt,  I just revel in its awesomeness. 

 

There's also a variation of the shirt with a Slave Leia pictured instead of the classic Leia shown above, but somehow (strangely enough) this image just looks cooler.
