Margo à la Maude

A lot of people ask Margo "How do you make being cool look so easy?"

Here are a few surefure tips from the Marmon.

Match your accessories to your accompanying colour, not your predominant colour.

Minou and Margo go back a long ways, but when Margo isn't wearing yellow, Minou clashes, and then it's "so long, old pal. Don't let the door hit your tail on the way out."




Wear your hat at a rakish angle.

James Cagney knew this.

Justin Timberlake knows this.

Margo knows this.

This is especially important if your parents bring you to uncool places, like a calf shed on an experimental farm. Bonus points for visible tags.




Distance yourself from pregnant women. They wreak havoc on your mojo.

Margo has said on many occasions that she loves Mama, but in public, it's best to just try to keep a few metres distance. Nothing against you, Mama, but the belly distracts people from moi and her purple Greek fisherman's hat. On the flip side, monochromatic blue pregnant Mama does make Margo stand out in my purple hat-blushing peach top-faded denim jeans-polka dot green shoes-yellow toy ensemble.

Okay, the jury's still on this one.






Anybody can sing. Cool people improvise.

I can't understand a word Snoop Dogg says, but he's created his own language loosely related to English, and that's pretty cool. Sure, anybody can sing Pat-a-Cake with the actual words, but how about these words:

Padacake
Bake a man
Bake a cake faster than can
Rollllll it
Pag it
Mark it a "B"
Puuuuuut Mama Minou

Bake a man by pagging him. Nobody knows what the hell she's talking about, but nobody understood James Brown either, and he's the Godfather of Soul.

I hope that these cool tips help you live better.
