How to be a Cool Cat: Then and Now

How would I know about cool? you ask. (Or I should say, Myren asked this very thing. Numerous times.)
Let’s say, I’ve had the chance to observe many of the cool-as-in-hip over the years. Sometimes I’ve even acted cool myself.
Why should I care? you ask. Everyone wants to be cool, I say. What planet are you from?
Here are my coolest handy hints!
Top 6 ways to be a Cool Cat:
Don’t use the term Cool Cat unless you travel back in time to the 50s and join a band of beatniks.

Wear a beret. Preferably black.
Never smile.
Always wear sunglasses.
Get some bongo drums.
Wear black. Or black & white stripes.

Now you’re asking “Can I be a Cool Cat in the 21st century without imitating some ancient-times goth-looking characters?”
Sure, I say.
Top 6 Ways to be a 21st Century Cool Cat:

Change out the beret for a baseball cap or knit cap.
Wear very baggy pants or very tight pants.
Get a tattoo or 4 or 5. Large and colorful ones.
Grow a beard if you’re a guy and enhance your hair and nails if you’re a woman.

Join a gym. Muscles are in.
Keep the sunglasses. Shades are forever cool.
