circa 1988

The retrosexual is a man’s man. He is as Old School as they come and set in his ways. He owns power tools you have never heard of and has “a guy” for everything. He finds comfort in drinking beer in his garage or basement. He takes pride in his ability to grow facial hair and make sounds come from his body.

He does not know the difference between the colors chartreuse and lavender, and could really give a crap less. He often does not care what he looks like and he will never give up excessive amounts of manliness for a woman.

He can be found at your neighborhood pub drinking a Miller High Life after a hard day at the factory, on the docks of the bay unloading cargo from ships, lumberjacking overgrown forests, or at you local firehouse ready to lend a hand.

This is a tribute to the retrosexual in all of us.

Raise a glass, and toast to the retrosexual,
for without him…

there would be no Mustache Bash!
