Last year, we told you about a skirt from ThinkGeek that was decorated with constellations that came to life when you turned on its hidden battery-powered LED lights. Β That skirt was pretty, but it was missing scientific accuracy. ThinkGeek has introduced a new twinkling skirt decorated with βGreat Observatories Unique Views of the Milky Way β a NASA image created from data provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatoryβ.
This above-the-knee circle skirt has three layers β aΒ see-through layer printed with the Milky Way image, white gauze layer, and a white liner. Β Youβll need to do a little assembly by snapping in the stands of 60 cold-white LED wire lights. Β The lights can be operated in six different modes, and they will appear violet as they shine through the printed layer. Β The lights are not as heavy as Christmas tree light strands, but they are sturdy enough to withstand being sat upon. Β With a fresh set of batteries, youβll twinkle for up to nine hours.
After removing the electronics, the 100% polyester skirt can be machine washed in cold and line dried. Β It has two side pockets and a 2β³Β tall flat-front waist, with elastic and a zipper in back. Β Itβs available in sizes S-3X for $59.99.
The Twinkling Milky Way Skirt is a ThinkGeek design and is exclusive to ThinkGeek.
