Many of us (those over 40, WAY over 40, or hovering near 40) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:<br /><br />1. A nose ring and bifocals<br /><br />2. Spiked hair and bald spots<br /><br />3. A pierced tongue and dentures<br /><br />4. Miniskirts and support hose<br /><br />5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads<br /><br />6. Speedo's and cellulite<br /><br />7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar<br /><br />8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor<br /><br />9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge<br /><br />10. Bikinis and liver spots<br /><br />11. Short shorts and varicose veins<br /><br />12. Inline skates and a walker<br /><br />And last, but not least . . . my personal favorite:<br /><br />13. Thongs and Depends<br /><br />Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.

Just don't braid the hair that grows out of your ears at our age.

Does this mean I should restyle my BEATLE hair cut? I guess it looks old with the hole in the middle.

The leisure suit, no way man, this sucker is vintage, baby blue (mostly) but the yellow arm pits contrast so well. As for the hole in the middle Mr. Dolluper, I will have you know that it costs more because of the edging involved. This is critical. A gradual fade to flesh. Thank God for the HAT. You guys are groovy err ROCK

It depends.<br /><br />1. Open shirt and gold chains?<br /><br />2. Bermuda shorts and dark socks?<br /><br />Or, worse, a combination of the two. A definite fashion trainwreck.<br /><br />Pick your poison. :D
