Retro Culture, People, Life-Style
- Why Bother.org
- Whatever we feel like, whenever we feel like it: a hodgepodge of "Blank Generation" stuff, some serious, some tongue in cheek, most not quite right in the head.
- The Swank Pad
- 1950's retro, including american homes, Speigel's fashions, signs, architecture, and music.
Many know me as Swanky, creator and organizer of Hukilau and collector of Polynesian Pop. I am really more into Midcentury culture and Tiki is a part of that. I wanted to have a place where I could talk about anything from Tiki to retro preservation and exploration to just the things in life that bug and beguile me. And that’s what this is. I hope you’ll subscribe to the Blather or drop in regularly. - What's Behind Retro Virginity?
- The pressure to be a virgin bride is not felt by women from traditional Muslim families alone. In New York City, the majority of clients who visit the Plastic Surgery Centre, which offers "plastic surgery and reconstructive gynecology," are Latin American women.
"It's a lie out of love," says Esmeralda Vanegas, owner of the three New York centres. "Unfortunately, the men in our culture make us do these things. They are machistas. They do whatever they want out on the streets and then they want a virgin at the altar." - Gordon, Daniel
- Retro look and feel. Daniel Gordon, a student at the University of Cambridge, turns a hand-written note into a web page.
- Hippy Haven
- Nostalgic and retro look back at the 60's and 70's. News of the times including Woodstock, Civil Rights, Vietnam and also some live music sites to keep you rockin. This site like the generation of Hippy or Hippie children it tells about, is constantly changing. Just when I think I have told it all something else comes to mind.
- Dollfacepunk dot com
- Online magazine featuring martini time, dollface and budget bombshell. Retro inspired store for women and men's clothing.
Dollfacepunk started as a way for a frustrated young writer to publish articles that weren't completely gutted by editors. The young writer didn't get discovered for her pointless random articles and turned the whole thing into a store loaded with rockin' tees, tanks and hoodies. The pointless articles can now be found in blog format.
To clear up all confusion on the "punk" part of Dollfacepunk. Originally it was to be Dollface, but that was taken. It needed a little more spice. Punk fit so perfectly on the end. If you look up the word punk it means "insignificant young person." That is all that's behind the name. Dollface + Punk = dollfaced insignificant young person. - Lawford, Trevor
- Contains photographs, resume and some retro BBC computer stuff.
Mutant Spiders: The story of my first and only published game for the 8-bit BBC microcomputer. Includes the game itself!
Mutant Xpiders: The sequel to the above game, written for the PC. Play it now (requires DirectX5 or greater).
- Retro Software Designs
- General information and online plotting program.
Biorhythms are a method of calculating human cycles based on mathematical functions. It "works" on the principle of sin waves denoting high, low and critical times in one's life. Biorhythms help in predicting future areas of trouble and difficulty (denoted by the "critical day"). For more information on Biorhythms, visit the Biorhythm FAQ. - Retro Radar
- Current trends in retro living, from hot rods to swing bands, classic movies, World War 2 reenactments, jazz clubs, vintage clothing shows, rock n roll music, tiki bars, retro design, and movie remakes.
RetroRadar.com is an information clearinghouse for anyone enamored of mid-20th century pop culture, including hot rodders, lindy hoppers, classic film lovers, Art Deco aficionados, WWII re-enactors, vintage clothing collectors, and other retrophiles. Our goal is two-fold: To pay homage to the innovation and achievements of America’s golden era from the 1920s to the 1960s, and to keep alive the courtesy, class and timeless style of this period. We venerate movies that pull at the heartstrings, music that makes you want to dance, and clothing that flatters rather than flaunts. Our radar screen filters out the noise that surrounds us and allows visitors to zero in on the resources they’re seeking in the world of vintage Americana. If it’s hip, we’ve got the blip. - Narcissus
- Providing goth, industrial, electro, retro- and many other misc styles at Gypsy, Canberra.
