Retro Babe 

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.

Retro Babe 

A professional or amateur model who typically poses in the style of a classic pin-up like Betty Grable, Bettie Page, Pamela Green, or Bunny Yeager. The style can be that of the 40s, 50s, or early to mid 60s.

With her Bettie Page bangs and specRACKular figure, she was the very model of a retro babe, and she put these assets to good use on her website.

Retrobate 

n. One who can't, or who refuses to walk the bleeding edge of technology, preferring old, reliable tools. I.e. one who shuns PDAs for notebooks, pencils and pocket calendars; would rather meet in real life than on MySpace; and who'd still shoot with cameras which require film. A Luddite.

Bill is the kind of retrobate who rides an old, carburated Harley, rather than a new, reliable, fuel-injected sport bike.

Stephen retrobates every time he thinks about all the almost-clever things he said to his cyber friends back when they were still speaking to him. He is such a retrobater!

Retrobate 

A rogue from the good old days. A philanderer past his prime.

G was a notorious womaniser, a shocking reprobate, but in his twilight years he could only rise to the level of retrobate, dreaming of conquests, but not actually conquering them.
