So you want to get a tattoo...

Fri Oct 06 20:22:53 EDT 2006
Coco Chanel once said that women over 18 should not go sleeveless.
After a trip to a highly crowded and popular Rhode Island beach,
followed by a night at the equally crowded Six Flags amusement park,
we couldn't resist adding some other style rules we are confident Coco
would back:

1. No tattoos anywhere visible. Come on, that fad is soooo over. If
you disagree, think of how you'll look when you're eighty. Or pregnant.

2. Part two: No visible tattoos on brides. Eew. Nothing spoils a
beautiful Vera Wang strapless like a tribal arm band.

3. Women over 40 and women over 40 percent body fat should not pierce
their bellybuttons. 'Nuff said.

4. If you are baring your feet, for God's sake, get a pedicure! There
is nothing more disgusting than dirty, unkempt feet. And chipped
polish is tacky. But you already knew that.

5. The chipped polish rule applies to hands, too. If you don't have
time to get weekly manicures, keep nails short, clean and moisturized.
It's not that time-consuming, and you'll feel loads better when
waving, shaking hands, rubbing oil on that hot guys' back...trust us.

6. Do not wear tee shirts with: profanity, heavy metal band logos,
stupid sayings, rips, fringe or holes. Unless you actually are a
roadie for Metallica. And then only while lugging band equipment.

7. If you are older than 20, do not dye your hair in shades other than
those normally found on human heads. Bright pink does not make you
look like Gwen Stefani in her No Doubt days. It makes you look stupid.

8. Leave denim overalls to those who need them: dairy farmers and, um,
I guess that's it.

9. If your thong is showing, it is maybe an indication that your pants
are too low. Just maybe.

10. Have fun with fashion, but for God's sake, man, consider that the
rest of us have to look at you too.
