I guess I have to start acting like an adult, but I don’t wanna. I still want to be the hip uncle to my niece and nephew and all the neighborhood kids. Does sixty four have to look like sixty four, and I’m not promoting Botox 20% off coupons. Better worded, does sixty four have to feel and define itself as sixty four?
I love being informed of the latest trends, what words or terms are in and what’s long gone. I’m not at all a fashionista but I can assure you I do not own a pair of Dockers or Skechers. My hair took a trip a while ago and never returned, yet I think when men either color their hair or sweep it (we know the king of the sweep) it makes matters worse.
I think being cool means being cool with the real edition of yourself, not the manufactured one. Doesn’t that sorta indicate your dissatisfaction when you’re primped, pulled, painted and polished?
But there’s one thing people in fashion should focus on; jeans for aging men. Here’s why. We have belly bulges, shrinking muscle mass in our legs and a flat ass. I’m sure if you placed velcro and synthetic padding just so, you could put a strut in our stuff better than Travolta. The color scheme will need to be more sedate and maybe a spandex crotch would hold our low hanging fruit.
So let’s give into the aging craze. Don’t fight it. Let’s refine it and make Stay’n Alive a goal worth embracing.
