Welcome to Retro Shoujo,

where we party like it's 1999!

My name is Mezzo, and this is my unapologetically personal homepage.

This website is a love letter to the 20th century.
It is a collection of personal thoughts and stories, as well as reviews of old movies, games, things and ideas that are worth remembering.

It is also a love letter to Web 1.0.
I built this site to resemble the internet aesthetics of the late 1990s, when I had my very first website (more on that in one of my soon to come stories).
But more than the (admittedly tacky) aesthetics, it is the way the internet was used in its early days that I miss - when there was no social media, no search engine optimization, no content creators and no algorithms.

I hereby reclaim this little corner of the web as my own personal space, where I do whatever the fluff I want!
