In 1955 there was a movie called "The Seven Year Itch", in which Marilyn Monroe enjoyed standing over a ventilation grate for the subway. When a subway train would pass through, it would cause a great rush of air to blow up her skirt and her skirt up. She loved it and the men loved to watch it.

Hence the expression "Whatever blows your skirt up" meaning whatever you enjoy or makes you happy.
