Lucky Strikes "Lucky Orchid" by Kimberly Kight for Cotton & Steel OOP

"I have formative memories of watching Bowling for Dollars from our sunken den in 1970s suburban Ohio. My parents were both on bowling leagues. My mom made eight strikes in a row while super pregnant with me! So bowling is kind of in my blood. For Lucky Strikes, I thought of a fictional ladies’ league from the 60s-70s. It is a working-class league, maybe in Cincinnati or Milwaukee, including women of all ages, in the heyday of women’s lib. Like they would wear “To Hell With Housework, I’m Going Bowling” T-shirts. They’d go bowl on Tuesday night, and après bowling they would sit in the cafe drinking coffee and smoking Tareytons and Virginia Slims (sorry!)"  - Kimberly Kight
