Retro goodness.

Oh mighty Isis...

Remember Electra Woman and Dyna Girl? How about Gary Gnu? MT Promises (c/o Arnold)? Sigh, they just don't make TV kid shows now like they used to. Click here to remember the good old days (or see what the fuss is about, young gen-Y-er.)

Speaking of retro, one thing I learned about fashion is that no style ever stays put, but they will always come back, so hang on to anything kitschy that you might have. For instance, have you noticed that puff-sleeved blouses are all the rage nowadays? My mom bought me lots of those when I was younger, but I didn't think they'd make a comeback this soon. (Aha, they still fit. Nu-ni-noo...*rummages thru closet*)

I also found this cool retro Roy Lichtenstein-inspired blog layout via my referrers, of all places. Say hello to The Girl with Infrared Eyes.
