I am moving to jackson, mississippi. My wife and I have made frequent one day trips there to plan our new life. We had lunch a local hotspot last week and I was shocked by their ties... It was full of suits young and old. Some youngsters were wearing bow ties. It is no doubt a southern thing but you must be trying hard to make a statement to wear a bow tie.. Even if it looks great on you. Of all the posers I saw wearing them, one heavy set young lad caught my eye. He looked sharp, approachable, and ready to succeed at whatever came his way.. This thought crossed my mind.. Would all these idiots wear nickers on the golf course in Scotland, or the little cowboy string ties to work in Ft. Worth, Texas? Anyway my point is one guy in the bunch made it look good and it made him look good.
One of my coaches from high school does the old point from the hip wave when he sees you around town.. He makes it look so cool that I wondered why everyone didn't do it.. Then I told my wife about it and tried "saying what's up" with the six shooter wave.. She laughed and made fun of how stupid it looked. It is not for everyone..the same goes for many hats..if the hat is good looking on the shelf or greg norman.. It may not look good on you. One of my "things" is that can wear pretty much any hat. ugly hats look good on me (except for shallow golf hats) .. My friend Adam says hats look good on me because my head is a perfect circle from a "birds eye view" a gift and a curse no doubt..
How do black guys make tank tops look good? Don't say because they are muscled up.. Fat black guys make big tank tops look good.. Put a heavy set white guy in a tank top and women and children will avoid him and guys will mock him.. Put a ripped up white guy in a michael jordan jersey and hes trying hard to be something he isn't.
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!
But please research and choose wisely what looks good feels good and/or reflects well on you and those who love you and those that may not love you but are stuck being affected by the decisions you make! If you have any questions.. Post comments or check out a mirror!

I made sweats on sweats a new fab

the greg norman hat issue has come up many times for me... i want something to cover my ears lest they rot off at age 45, however...i am not willing to wear a shark hat, no matter how cheap you can get them at the reebok outlets in every vacation destination...also...but bucket hats soak up so much sweat that i would have to buy a new bucket hat to golf in regularly...not to mention, its a bucket hat which very few people can pull off...
"tweeting" down the block...a la Nick Huckabee.
-Flat Billed hats...never been a big fan. It looks a little too thuggish for me, esp. when cocked sideways just a hair...a la NicK Craighead
-REALLY Curved Billed hats- these are usually accompanied with a cold clip-on fishing hook and the occasional autograph...i.e. Chris Hart and Brando
-Upside Down Backwards Visors ...These can be viewed on Thursday Nites at the Q-stick or any family reunion in Choudrant
dog-tags when not in the military
loafers/boat shows sans-socks with pants without.

loafers no socks is risky with pants or shorts.
boat shoes (topsiders) no socks a little safer. though i will admit that the fact that Jackson, ms (or insert SEC flavored city of your choice) has adopted them as fashionable faddish irritates me as they are the standard footwear for those who actually are on boats and docks everyday. (insert ted knight laugh here).
i cant wait for boat shoes to go the way of the browningdownjacket and the 12gaguebelt and PING hats and birkenstocks when i will be rocking my sperrys and sebagos like a yachtsnob alone.
yachtingly yours,

highlighted and spiked hair
bleached baseball team hair...or any team wide fashion statement which becomes adopted by another team (a la phillies of Kruk era, or recent Bo Sox with their no shave and what not) blah blah blah
