In an era where printed publications seem to be a thing of the past and one magazine folds as another multi-title conglomerate sacrifices a masthead like a wild animal caught in a trap might gnaw off its own limb for survival ... At a time when big electronics corporations battle to produce “the” electronic means with which to deal a final deathblow to newspapers, magazines and (dare we say it?) … books … Why would anyone in their right mind launch a new magazine?
Because some of us live in a different era. Some of us live with one foot in the past while others live in a surreal, quasi-past -- one where Buddy Holly’s Peggy Sue emanates from an MP3 player connected to the stereo of a flat black Merc with a Betty Page air freshener bouncing wildly from the rear view mirror like some alternative reality hula-dancer. We’re launching a new magazine because there is an ever growing army of fans of pinup as well as an impressive corps of artists producing an amazing body of work that is best served by this antiquated medium of ink on paper. We also want to ensure this art lives on, long after this internet fad blows over or some rogue state finally secures a nuke of their own, tripping off what we feared all along during the cold war and the power grid finally goes down for the count. It may be that a new bio-weapon, silicon-eating microorganism is developed that feeds on our precious electronics like they were candy, or simply that a solar flare hits, unplugging us from our high speed, Wi-Fi, 3g dependencies. If any such revolutionary catastrophe occurs, the pages of Retro Lovely will become very valuable indeed. Save the smart phone though; it should make a suitable paperweight.
Welcome to Retro Lovely.
This magazine will cater to no one single pinup style. It will bring you Classic Cheesecake, Hollywood Noir, Cabaret, Burlesque, Victorian, Deco, Kitschy, Atomic, Bad Part of Town Rust Queen and every conceivable cross-pollination of these you can imagine. You will find models with and without ink in all manner of settings with all manner of props. You see, Peggy Sue got married and had a little girl and then a granddaughter and now that young lady is a lawyer, but on the weekends she’s a Roller Derby Queen and goes by the name Peggy SoSueMe. She also models and has a devoted fan base who wants nothing more than to pin up her photo as they lead their quasi-past lives.
