The 'Bad Girls Throughout History' stationery set is now available for sale on Etsy. Divas like Marie Antoinette, Josephine Baker, Bettie Page and Elizabeth Taylor grace the covers of these humorous postcards, bringing their public trials and tribulations into focus yet again.
The almost kitschy title of these packages is as much of a selling point as are the accurate illustrations. The artfully depicted women are of course not 'bad' in the literal sense of the word, though they did stir up a great deal of controversy throughout their high profiled lives.
The 4X6" sheets are printed on matte pieces of paper in Los Angeles. They can however be shipped anywhere in the world, delivering bits of history to lovers of scandal and pop culture.
