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.

When someone says they play video games but not this new age Halo generation crap. I'm talking SNES and earlier. Before the days of Wii, PS2, or the internet, video gaming in a simpler form.

An animation style were the animator make his/her animated cartoon emulate silent films of the 1890s-1930s.Or the animated cartoon emulates old film stock from 1940s-1970s.Other forms of Retro-mation may also be made to have a grainy appearance to emulate the classic era of film in Hollywood from the 1930s-1960s. Not all Retro-mation needs to be in black and white but it adds a Nostalgic effect to the cartoon.
This style is very common in Flash Animation.

The process that occurs when you toast your bread and save it for a snack later and the toast reverts back to more of a bread-like form.
Cant't wait to eat this sandwich, I even toasted the bread! *pulls out sandwich* Oh darn, my toast has become retro toasted!
