I'm a guy, and I'd totally wear that art on a male-fitted T-shirt. I’m just disappointed they only offer them as babydoll shirts. I’m a guy, and I’d totally wear that art on a male-fitted T-shirt.

Funny you should mention Marie Curie. Ève Curie wrote in her biography of her mother that she would find her mother in a black dress, seated on the floor, surrounded by papers and muttering numbers to herself in Polish; almost exactly how the Lovelace tee-shirt looks.

I was hoping this was "Thinkgeek's women" in "tech tees". Or even better, I hoped it was some pics of Lady Ada modeling t-shirts. Woof. Sadly, it's just and ad for yet another garment I'd look inappropriate in. Aw, disappointment. I was hoping this was “Thinkgeek’s women” in “tech tees”.
