Retro is back. But it's not old retro, it's new retro. If you know what I mean... Yeah. Btw, what was that at the end?

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Ice at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Probably from 1985 or so! Talk about retro! ;)

Hmmm, I guess that depends on what you mean by retro, and how far you go back. If it is to the 80s I remember taking my English friend to the mini-golf place that is in Karate Kid and he thought that was the best. I personally like to take it back much further than that. This is coming from a guy who wears a pocket watch and tries to be as dapper as possible. I think this is also where the steam-punk movement comes from, Mix the new with the old and come up with a style all your own. I am not sure if it will hit mainstream, or if it is just a backlash to the super casual fashion that has devolved since the 80s. At the moment it is only delegated to accessories. I do however, seem to remember Zadi having a really snazzy bracelet with gears on it that could be a key to a time machine. :)

I just missed all the retro fun. But here is something that I think goes along the lines and is pretty fun.

Yearbookyourself.com

Its a pretty cool way to modify a photo so that we can see what we might look like a decade or two ago.

Before.

After.

Retro is cool! I'll never stop listening to Devo, Blonde, and Donna Summer. I will never stop watching Underdog and Tennessee Tuxedo. I'll never stop eating Capt Krunch!

Oh, wait. Yes I will. That crap tears the inside of your mouth open.

I will NEVER wear parachute pants anymore. Pity the fool who does, though.
