Well, with another birthday around the corner, I need to start working on a “Middle-Aged Man” costume, apparently...
I’ve been slowly working on it, for the past few years.
I will need an accurate receding hairline, deep crow’s feet, various undefined aches and pains throughout my body, an accurately shaped “gut”, random khakis (I have also been told that “mom jeans for men” are an accurate alternative, as long as they are run through multiple washes, are not ironed, and are slightly high-watered), formerly white Nike or Reebok shoes with a dingy patina, white tube socks, and a well-worn Izod polo.
I am also consulting an industry professional regarding how to create a “world-weary 1,000 yard stare”—as if the weight of the world has crushed my dreams.
Wish me luck...
The “Drinking Buddy” is an optional accessory but does add to the authenticity.
