Default Appropriate style for retirees!

Many of us over 50 . . . WAY over 50 . . . 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 of the Villages, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Miniskirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedos and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist

11. Bikinis and liver spots

12. Short shorts and varicose veins

13. In-line skates and a walker

And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion:

14. A thong and Depends

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind
when you shop.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here
we might as well dance!!!!

A few teens and 20-somethings would do well to heed #9.

Thank you for the reminder. #8 almost caused me to violate #14.
