No - not my hair, it's already grey... No - after the stunning purchase of the $99 retro leather jacket I have purchased the gheyest retro helmet you have ever seen....

Yeah - its a scooter helmet but it's for cafe pootling around Kapiti on summer evenings and poping to the shops...

Retro, huh?

Retro is the description I was given of the helmet... To quote....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro

Retro is a term used to describe aspects of modern culture which are consciously derivative or imitative of those trends, modes, fashions, or attitudes of the recent past which have or had come to be seen as unfashionable.

Since i am unfashionable it is arguable that I AM myself retro... Sadly - this could fall down as I'm not sure I'm part of modern culture...

Paul (retro) N

PS - Vicki points out that for accuracy I need to add that I never have actually been fashionable...

PPS - it has shiney bits....

Nup.
Silver's manly. Now if it was pink, and had colourful decals on it, that would be ghey.

And it's too high tech to be retro.

And you are obviously too pleased and excited about it to care whether or not it's ghey anyway.
