"  Years ago, I traded in my blue hair, Mohawk, and liberty spikes for a pompadour and rockabilly clothes, but now that I&amp;#039;m nearing the big four-oh, how do I go from &amp;quot;rude, crude, and tattooed&amp;quot; to a more age-appropriate way of dressing? (Note: The pompadour stays.)  \u2014 Raul Sanchez, Kapaa, Hawaii The pompadour is clearly the source of all your powers and suggests you&amp;#039;re not quite ready to embrace your age.
