National Retro Day
On February 27, National Retro Day brings us right back to a time before smartphones and the internet. Until smartphones and the internet, we can remember.
"Remember when?" Every generation looks back and asks, "Remember when?" This commemoration honors our nostalgia for the good old days of the good old days while remaining in the present.
No matter the decade, pick a point in time when people talked more face to face than text to text, had dinner at home around the table, and the kids enjoyed games that didn't require internet access, regardless of the decade.
What's your retro? Make the hair swoop the hair into a mile-high beehive or strut those eight-inch bell bottoms on National Retro Day. Can you curl curls for a stunning Afro? Can you create the curls for a stunning Afro? Don't be afraid to break out the old roller skates and see if you still have those mad skills. Tie the hair up with a polka dot bandana and strike muscle pose like Rosie the Riveter. Or perhaps you like a moonwalk, a leather jacket, and a single glove.
When we were together, we spent more time focusing on each other than ever before. There were no smartphones, internet, or social media. Each moment is recorded in memory for us to look back retrospectively rather than for the entire world to see.
