I AM A RETRONAUT.

So, I recently found out about what is now my NEW FAVORITEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET EARTH, Retronaut.
SO, here is my daily dose of inspiration, courtesy of Retronaut.





These pictures of Marilyn Monroe at her divorce press conference are really interesting to me, because back then it was really uncommon that you would see celebrities breaking down in public like that. Everything was supposed to be rosy and sweet for famous people (and if it wasn't, that was what the public was supposed to think), but here you see such raw human emotion from her.

SPEAKING OF MARILYN, here come the Kennedy's!
Let's just say I would totally steal some Jackie and John mannequins and have them be my best friends, and leave it at that.

I will pay $5,000,000,000,000 for any of these posters, if someone can, you know, make them real or something.
JUST KIDDING, I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.
By the way...

 Okay, I am totally diggin' that poster. 
Plus that dude in the front with the rad striped shirt.
WHO IS THAT GUY?

 WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
LOOK AT ALL THESE RAD PEOPLE.
I think I imagine high school in 1969 to have been this big party, where everyone dressed cool and just LOVED EACH OTHER.
Probably not true...

You probably wondered if Debbie Harry was always that cool.
Good news... 
She was.
And, I am really lovin' Dolly Parton in high school. DOLLY, WHY DID YOU GO THROUGH ALL THE SURGERY YOU LOOKED SO GOOD.
And, it is so trippy to the love of my life, my IDOL, Roseanne, in high school. BASICALLY I AM TRYING TO SAY THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE REALLY CUTE TEENAGERS.
And then we come to that kid on the end. YES, that is GEORGE CLOONEY.
I really wish he would've stuck with this look, because then I would totally be obsessed with him. 

So, Retronaut is "DEFF TOTES" rad (SEE, I AM SO IN WITH DA KIDS).
