Jim couldn't resist buying that 2001 Harley as soon as he saw it. After a little retro shopping, he was thrilled to realize he also got a great deal on it.

When you re watch an old tv episode or film and recognise someone who you now know as a famous person/character.
Oh my God it's Oberyn Martell in Buffy the vampire slayer, and he looks so young!
Retro recognition can also be pretty much guaranteed by watchingt any old episode of tales from the crypt.

A drop-dead gorgeous or scorchingly hot woman who looks like she could have stepped right out of a classic Hollywood film or a vintage pin-up. She can be classy, suggesting someone like Lauren Bacall or Audrey Hepburn or (the young!) Katherine Hepburn, or a sexbomb, like Bettie Page or Jayne Mansfield Pamela Green or Sophia Loren. Her vintage beauty and/or sexiness can be that of any period from the 1920s to the mid-60s. Hippie chicks do NOT count, nor do women whose looks, however attractive, suggest a 70s roller disco queen or an 80s music video.
Director Tim Burton's ex-girlfriend Lisa Marie (the actress, NOT Elvis's daughter) was a real retro babe when she played Vampira in ED WOOD. So was Jennifer Connelly back before she got too skinny. Anna Nicole Smith was almost a retro babe, back before she porked out and the media revealed what her intelligence and personality were like.
