Hello Retroites,

Firstly, welcome to the fourth issue of Retro Magazine, and let me introduce myself. I am the newest addition to the Retro Collective, and, yes, the main reason/culprit (delete as applicable) as to why we’ve gone a bit girly this issue. I hold my hands up, and apologise to those offended, but it was about time we ladies managed to wheedle our wiley way into the coveted pages of Retro and give it a touch of gloss, glitz and glam.

However, fear not, far from running riot and stripping the mag of its cheeky chappy charm, we’ve merely added a touch of fashion to complement the gadgets, and balanced the enthusiast motoring pages with a smidgen of beauty. See, no harm done.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. In this issue we get down and dirty with NightBus, the newest hedonistic pop tarts to be spawned since the B-52s. Throw into the mix an interview with the minxy Kitten von Mew, the UK’s queen of burlesque. And chuck on your Persol shades for a stroll down memory pier as we get all 50s in our beachfront swimwear shoot.

If you’re happy, and you know it, swing your nipple tassels!
