The inspiration for the series came to Victor Gadino after watching the campy cult classic movie from the 1950s called The Queen From Outer Space starting Zsa Zsa Gabor. He liked the idea of combining retro looking women in futuristic fantasy settings.
Growing up in New York, Victor remembers the many images of women in beauty contests for Miss Rheingold (beer) and Miss (NewYork) Subway. This is a nod to that era.
