text: Eh I expected more outta Retro Redux With a moniker like such how can the store be anything but an acclaimed showcase on glorified midtolate s chic nnThis place looked more like the old Wheel of Fortune set with my head in a oddly blurred bubble shopping for porcelain panthers and orange acetate couches with a very bored Pat Sajak behind the clerks counter loudly munching on Xtreme Doritos He could not have been more disinterested in his job if there were forty nude women parading around his workspacennI was surprised that other vintagey stores around Melrose were actually more believable than Retro Redux Sure they have got things worth perusing I am trying to remember but they had a Laszlo piece or something else remarkable as far as design goes but its priced out enough that invading an auction or maybe ebay is a better option nnTheir collection of vintage clothes almost seems as if its an ironic joke to see which scene kids will go in and try them on I think this would make a great public access reality show I think I could watch something like that all day sitting on my own early s nonvintage couch sipping a Pimms and crunching a bag of flaminghot Doritos Hey maybe Retro Sajak was onto something
