So 2010 is upon us, it does has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? It really feels like we are in the future, not only because of the movie 2010 — but also because of the nice round number which makes me think of catchy retro futuristic theme songs like the one from The Jetsons and Captain Scarlet. Ultra Swank has been around for almost five years now so I thought that it would be interesting to share some numbers with you. As of today there are over 200 posts with 1100 comments, 10 very cool compilations and close to 900 images in the Flickr Photo Group.
Thank you everyone (close to half a million people) who have visited the blog over the years and submitted comments, tips, praises and contributions. Without you this website would not exist. Don’t forget that you can also follow Ultra Swank on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Here’s to another great five years! (Via)

Ultra Swank – Your one stop blog for retro living, style and design
Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s. We mainly focus on the design, architecture and the lifestyle of the happy-go-lucky and space-age-living mentality of that era – but also on the music and movies that takes you back to happier times. Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
