Good Tiems for All

It is not often that a tie is worthy of this blog that is not part of my collection but this Perry Ellis Portfolio tie fits the bill.  Given as a gift to the Groomsmen of my friend's wedding, I wore it proudly underneath the shadow of the Empire State Building.  Little did I know but soon I would also be wearing that martini...oops  Congrats Mike and Katie!

Ziptie

I'm not too keen on talking about ties that are not part of my collection but this tie is definitely blog worthy.  The 8th wonder of the world, this Van Heusen tie is not a clip on, nor a regular tie.  Instead, it is tightened and loosened by pulling on a zipper hidden inside the knot.  Necktie innovation at its finest.

Tie The Knot

People spend months planning their weddings down to the most minute detail.  On this lucky groom's day, one of those small details was overlooked.  After an hour and a half of watching instructional videos on YouTube of how to tie a bowtie and a failed attempt by one of the most respected tie bloggers around, the Best Man was forced to think outside the box.  A quick trip down to the bustling streets of New York yielded the hero of the day.  A sales clerk from a men's suit store a few blocks away agreed to come to the wedding and 2 minutes later we were in business.

Happy New Year!!

What better way to celebrate Rosh Hashanah than having a good old processed fish eating contest while grossing out your co-workers at lunch?  It was a dead heat between me finishing off the gelatinous goodness of the canned Gefilte Fish and my co-worker slurping down a can of protein-packed, smoked kippers.  In the end, I won the TIE breaker by sporting a blue and white starred Van Heusen 100% silk necktie.      

4 Seconds of Fame

I usually try to be funny and take interesting photos for my blog posts but that is all ending today.  Now that I am famous and on TV, I can do whatever I want.  I'm not even wearing a tie today.  But if I was, it would  perfectly match my plum colored Polo shirt.  The paparazzi is probably going to follow me home tonight.

Rico Suave

This average Joe was transformed before your eyes into a lady killer as soon as he wrapped this Series 417 tie by Van Heusen around his neck.  With one wink of an eye, hoards of women flocked to him to the point where he needed to fight them off with a water hose.

Space Trash?

Surrounded by the destroyed aluminum hulk of a fallen satellite, this star patterned, 100% silk tie by Van Heusen hasn't been seen on Earth since the days of Sputnik.  Good thing for the NASA budget cuts because I kinda like this tie, and it looks like it won't going back into orbit anytime soon.

Working Like a Dog

Say goodbye to the dog days of summer and hello to cooler weather.  Nobody looks cooler than our new puppy office mascot sporting a Series 417 by Van Heusen tie covered in stylish amorphous blobs.
