I liked my hair long, just don't have the patience for the daily washing, drying, etc. - it's VERY thick

My wife and I will both be 30 in January, and we both still think it's alright. I guess cool is a bit of a state of mind, so if you dont think it's appropriate or feels funny then time to let it go.

I've seen women in there late 30s, maybe early 40s with a belly ring. Once it's no longer cool to show your belly, it's time for it to go, though. Seeing how little you are, I think you'll be fine for quite some time...

You need to post that pic, I think we would all like to see it.

I will be 29 in March. I am okay with it, to be honest I have had it for so long I rarely pay attention to it. Just wondering what other peoples time lines on that stuff is.

LOLOLOLOLOL....... In the 80s/early 90s, it was cool. I actually had THREE gold chains. A choker herringbone, a longer small rope, and a very long rope with a large crucifix on it...

Think: "How YOU doin'.... "

It's not cool to show my belly now, but I still have the ring. The only time it is seen is when I am in my suit so I think I am okay for a few more years.

Oh man your killing me, I'm picturing this all to well. I've got to dig up some pics, maybe if I get up the guts they will end up here later. I had the silver necklace, cross, and the hoops. Like I said, my 90210 phase, and oh yeah around that time it was very cool. Picture bleached out tips on the hair too... Oh gosh I'm doing a good job at embarressing myself. Good thing we are all friends now...
Edit- And cruising around in my 5.oh stang, complete with the black louvers on the back window...

Wow 52?

Anyway, lol. Cris, I agree with the others. I don't think its an age requirement..I think its a uh, physical standard requirement.

If you have a nice belly, I say go for it. If you don't have a nice belly, its probably time to put it away.

Or like Larry the Cable guy says "you don't get belly rings when your big, you get onion rings"

I am picturing you as David Silver. You are too good looking to be Steve, Dylan was too standoffish and Brandon was too goody goody.
