It’s not only the women who strut around in their ’60s and ’70s gear. The man may be cool, too, in disco shirts or ’60s jacket. A pocket watch will add drama to their retro fashion statement, no fear here. Another thing – they may add a shine to their feet with platform shoes.
Dress Up Man
Men and women are wired differently; parallel, in reciprocation exclusive worlds that neither psychology nor lab work may change. But talk of retro fashion, the twains meet. Fashion unites the two diverse spheres and with good results. Women have their mini-skirts, fishnet stockings, post-war American Bebops, and Grace Kelly formals. Don’t forget the peddle-pushers and Capri pants.
Men, on the other hand, dress their hides with butterfly collar shirts, blazers, and sports coats. They also have their hot pink shirt and tie and knit dress shirts that make a powerful statement in the boardroom. On the dance floors, they rave in hot retro styles. Now who says men can’t go retro? Once they flash out a pocket watch, the picture is at last connected to the last missing dot.
Vintage fashion and accessaries do not diminish a man’s sexiness; instead, it enhances their looks and gives them the person style they crave. With the hip-hop fashion or thug fashion out there, there’s not one thing like ’50s, ’60s, or ’70s style to get into the right groove. Hip-hop is having it is day, but may you impress a business client or the boss in hip-hop fashion? Not a chance.
Heating Up Female Hormones
The 1960s vintage shorts with groovy cartoon graphics may hold the attention of curious women. They can’t support but read, “Love not War”, “Flower Power”, and “Goodnight David, Goodnight Goliath”, plastered all over the shorts. Why not strike up a speech with a stunning brunette? That’s good for opening lines at the beach.
During those camping jaunts with the gang, heat up the scene with a 1940s black and red hunting wool shirt. Boy! You’ll stand out from the herd in their popular get-up. The ’60s vintage jacket lightens up each mood with it is pale yellow shade. You won’t be out there competing for compliments.
Just imagine the stunning impression made when you wear the red hot leather coat, which steamed the night scenes in the 1960s and 1970s. It was an eye-grabber – guys lined up at the ticket booths to see the movies of Julie Andrews, Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, Kirk Douglas, and Sean Connery.
Pant Sexy
The ’60s was the scene for slogans on shorts, pants, and shirts. The flower power was everywhere, wall graffiti repeated on pants and shirts. Yes, it was the era of protest. Rare ’60s pants are expensive, but worth the crusade if you want the same anti-war slogans.
In the ’70s, the teens tripped the light fantastic in disco pubs lost themselves to the beat of disco music, drowning out the 1960s beat. The new wave was ruled by Pink Floyd. Eagles, Genesis and others made it to the charts with the disbandment of the 1960s pop icons – the Beatles. Another revolution was on the way and fashion went along.
Male Sexy
Remember the frilly tux worn by George Harrison? Well, it’s coming back with a vengeance! Men may party and look super sexy with the frills and bows. That was some attitude. Sexy Macho Vintage is here to stay. Giddy up!

From BooklistOn a gorgeous May Wyoming morning, a stranger contacts Father John O’Malley, head of the Jesuit mission on the Arapaho Wind River Reservation. The Drowning Man, a cherished petroglyph, has been stolen, and the stranger wants to ransom it to the tribe. Meanwhile, attorney Vicki Holden reopens the case of an Arapaho convicted of murdering his friend. O’Malley and Holden discover their cases are linked and join forces. This twelfth Reservation mystery proceeds to display the satisfying hallmarks of the series: well-drawn characters, pretty descriptions of Wyoming, an edgy air of suspense, and a difficult mystery. Along with a revealing look at the black market in artifacts, Coel formulates subplots concerning Holden’s kinship with lover and business-partner attorney Adam Lone Eagle, the complex issue of wilderness development, and the even more complex matter of pedophile priests. One of the best of various mystery series dealing with Native American issues and characters. John Rowen

 Excellent addition to an excellent series
By BJ
The Drowning Man is an excellent addition to the Vicky Holden and Father O’Malley mysteries. Each book in Margaret Coel’s series is original and tightly plotted, and her characters are very real with their human frailties and struggles. Even the characters with major flaws (for instance Vicky’s abusive ex-husband) have good traits as well as bad. She brings the Arapaho culture to life, and her understanding and respect for the people are evident.

 Remembering why we liked these characters in the first place
By Kristi
The great thing about this series is that the characters haven’t changed. They’ve grown, but they are still the same fundamental people they were initially, and one can see how they’ve tried to make themselves fit in better in their world, and in some ways succeeded, and in others, continue to fail.
