• Let your grow down to  your waist (women and men)
• Color your hair uniquely (sister and other women)
• Grow a beard or mustache
• Wear sun glasses indoors (women and men)
• Deck your neck with an ascot (men)
• Start smoking a pipe (women and men)
• Only using one name (Picasso, Beyoncé, Robespierre, Napoleon, Cleopatra, etc.)
• Writing with a typewriter (women and men)
• Wear a beret (women and men)
• Kissing everybody on the cheek, even people you don’t like (women and men)
• Hiring an agent (men and women)
• Listing your degrees after your name (e.g. Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile; Allen Mesch, B.S.and M.S.) (women and men)
