    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    For the record, I'm an ATHEIST, ultra-liberal, ex-punk, nihilist, and misanthrope! I've never felt welcomed here, which is why I "lurk" rather than post.

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    How about "Revivalist" as a term to define/describe what we do to whatever extent we do it, as a definition/description? Or has this term already been considered and rejected? My thought is that the definition of the word revival (see #2) seems to cover a lot of the bases: re·viv·al ...

    Halloween costumes!

    Hi Audrey Horne- I think you'd be best off buying or renting a George Washington wig, since making one would be a pain. Since you're in Orange, if you don't mind a drive up to L.A., Western Costume in North Hollywood would have the most authentic George Washington wig, but I've seen them in...

    Golden Age Honolulu: 1920s-50s

    Great photos, Chasseur! Since my maternal family's roots are in Hawaii, it was a treat to see the photos you posted.
