"Come Upstairs and See Me Sometime" — The Vintage Tee That Winks Back at Hollywood's Boldest Bombshell
Share
There are few quotes more iconic, playful, and eyebrow-raising than:
“Why don’t you come up sometime and see me?”
Delivered with sly charm by the unforgettable Mae West, this line from She Done Him Wrong (1933) became one of the most quoted phrases in cinematic history. And now? It's back—with a modern wink and a vintage twist—on our brand new "Come Upstairs" Vintage Pin-Up Tee.
Who Was Mae West?
If you love retro fashion and old Hollywood glam, Mae West is your girl. Known for her razor-sharp wit, risqué one-liners, and hourglass figure, West was a trailblazer of unapologetic confidence. Born in 1893 in Brooklyn, Mae West rose to fame as a vaudeville performer before conquering Broadway and Hollywood.
Her films—like I'm No Angel and She Done Him Wrong—broke box office records and pushed boundaries during the strict censorship of the Hays Code era. Despite backlash, West never backed down, becoming a symbol of female empowerment and sexual liberation.
“I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.” — Mae West
A Shirt That Says It All
Our design pays homage to Mae’s signature sass with a vintage pin-up look that feels like a page from a 1940s movie poster. With bold, distressed typography and a glamorous woman posed atop a staircase, it’s flirty without being too loud—and 100% retro fire.
How to Style It
- Rock it with red lipstick and victory curls for that full pin-up vibe
- Pair it with high-waisted jeans and a leather jacket for retro rebel chic
- Or just wear it while binging classic movies and sipping a martini
Final Word:
Mae West once said, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”
We think this tee qualifies.
