James Dean Guide to Body Language
Posted by Toni | on April 29, 2008
Just stumbled-upon this tasty article listing “Rules for Being a Body Language Badass” inspired by James Dean.
Rule #1: Lean on Stuff While Standing
Gravity is a fact of life, but a fact of life that Jimmy had little little time for. As a result, he expended little energy holding himself up and supporting his own weight. If Jimmy was near an object, you can put your money on him leaning on it sooner or later. Visit Site

Retro Japanese TV Commercials
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on April 22, 2008
I thought it couldn’t get any better then Nicholas Cage dancing with silver sphere-headed aliens in Pachinko… but it seems that back 1982 things were just as weird. Take laser beam-emitting cassette tapes, Jennifer Connelly (?), Break dancing, shorty-shorts and complete confusion and you’ve got This Thing… And while you’re at it check out the 1980 Space Commercial and this 1980s Whiskey Commercial as well.
Check ‘Yo Chucks
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on April 17, 2008
I know how it goes, it happened to me too…Your old roommate/girlfriend/boyfriend/buddy for the summer left three milk-crates full of his/her junk in the hallway and it’s stayed there for so long it’s actually become part of the linoleum. To top it off, there’s an ownerless pair of High Tops that live by the door. One day you tried ‘em on in a rush and like some sort of ultra-comfy parasite they took over control of your feet. Now your old Reboks live in the corner, alone and forgotten.
Show your love for Chucks and find out how old your buddy’s shoes really are at The Evolution of the Chuck Taylor High Top site.
Do It Yourself
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on April 13, 2008
Ever been caught daydreaming in Woodshop about being home playing your Nintendo ?
Did you tire of Decorating Cakes with the same ‘ol sugar roses in Home Ec class ?
Was shredding Commodore 64 Tunes on your guitar during band practice important enough to get you booted down to 3rd clarinet ?
Your teachers just didn’t understand your passion for video games. Now you’ve matured, and your friends and loved ones can’t understand what you do with all your free time… Don’t worry we won’t tell.
RIP Charlton Heston
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on April 6, 2008
Charlton Heston, Oscar winner and one of the most prolific actors of the 60s and 70s passed away Saturday night (April 5th) at the age of 84.He will be remembered for his iconic performances in historical dramas such as Julius Caesar (1970), The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965), and The Ten Commandments (1956)…. Oh who am I kidding… You and I both know he’ll always be known as the lone hero in the first two Planet Of The Apes movies (1968-70), Soilent Green (1973) and The Omega Ma (1971). The doomed, starry-eyed centurion of all things decent and human, and a hero for a generation of drive-in addicts and late night nuclear TV vampires.
Retro Transmissions in Deep Space
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on April 4, 2008
Before television ate the minds of the present generation, our grandparents curled up on throw rugs and imagined their very own entertainment with the help of radio. Now you can tune into The Radio Nostalgia Network and their collection of over 20 streaming audio shows. X Minus One and The Shadow are my favs… Turn on, tune in, and drop out.
