Hot flushes and high heels Card

Because ageing gracefully is overrated, dignity is optional, and if you’re going to have hot flushes you might as well do it in heels with a bottle of wine. This retro birthday card celebrates growing older loudly, stylishly, and with absolutely no intention of behaving yourself.

A greeting card designed to look like the cover of a scandalous vintage paperback, drawing heavily on trashy midcentury pulp novels. The bold headline reads “Hot Flushes and High Heels,” surrounded by sensational taglines promising gleeful rebellion against ageing and good sense. The illustration shows two glamorous older women striding arm in arm, laughing, shopping bags in hand, one clutching a bottle of wine, radiating confidence and mischief. The artwork features worn textures, exaggerated retro typography, and dramatic composition, with rich oranges, fiery reds, and pops of teal and black. Classic pulp details like a faux price stamp, deluxe edition badge, and breathless copy complete the look, turning menopause, mischief, and friendship into a gloriously unapologetic paperback drama.
