For those who might not yet quite enough gaming garb, now you can get T-shirts featuring Diner Dash‘s main character, Flo.

PlayFirst, owners of the Diner Dash franchise, have opened Flo’s Closet where anyone can purchase onlinesix Flo-themed shirts priced US$14.99 to $19.99. The shirts include a large art image on the front featuring a slogan and a smaller slogan hidden elsewhere on the shirt:

• The Girl with Gumption / Take a Chance, You Can Do It
• Not Another Princess. I’m My Own Fairy Godmother / Dare to make a change.
• Roll Up Your Sleeves, Dreams Take Work / Do What You Love
• All In a Day’s Work / Believe In Your Dreams
• Dream It, Do It / Look At Life Funny Side Up
• Elbow Grease is the New Black / Dream Big. Work Hard.

According to the company’s press release, the T-shirts are not simply another income stream:

The launch of Flo’s Closet is deliberate in its timing as it aims to inspire and encourage women to strive towards success in challenging times. A recent study reiterates this potential showing that female business owners are surviving the downward trend better than other businesses and Flo’s in-game character notoriously rejected the corporate life and aggressively pursued a more meaningful venture as a successful restaurateur.

While games offer an enjoyable escape from tough times, Flo’s character also mirrors real life experiences and faces difficult decisions - her ultimate message in the game world and the real world is designed to inspire and empower.

All of the shirts are designed for women and range in size from Small to XXLarge,

The original Diner Dash restaurant management game debuted in 2004 for PC and Mac, spawning several sequels and portable releases (PSP, DS and iPhone).
