    Show yourselves, retro girls!

    It seems like I've read a lot of articles lately about this hot hot new fad of pretending like it's 1955, but I've never met one person who lives this way. A while back there were a lot of girls running around with Betty Page haircuts, but they were all tatooed up and they seem to have morphed into something else now anyway. What is it, like some kind of rich NY thing to sit around knitting baby socks and baking luscious cupcakes? It seems fun, but a little random. I mean, why not parasols and possum pie? Or spinning wheels and honey mead? I wish someone would explain this a little better because it's interesting.
