I pop on here now and again to see if the
‘me’ that I would like to exist has thrown together a flurry of amazingly
inspiring and equally witty words and pictures to amuse anyone who took a wrong
turn in the land of the interwebs and ended up here. Alas, my post from June
still sits here pedaling toward an unknown destination. So, I can breathe a
sigh of relief that I don’t have multiple-personality syndrome but rather, am
too busy (ahem…lazy) to share with you the wonders of the world that I
sometimes behold, the wonders that result in smiles, good ideas, general
nice feelings etc etc.
In my recent internet trawling I have
struck fancy with apparel for the fellas.
The one item of guys’ clothes that make me
all brow-furrowed, are ties.
What are they for!? What do they do?
- Hide unsightly buttons?
- Point to the ground to remind the wearer
where feet should be?
- An indicator of importance in relation to
available time?
eg. Tie (both fat and skinny part) waving
over one shoulder like a kite tail = wearer is very important and is very
pressed for time so don’t bother stopping him to ask if he would like to try
a sample of your new yoghurt – too busy, too important.
That being said, I like a good tie.
Perhaps they are the necklace for the
well-dressed gentleman?
Yes, of course, time and place and all of
that… a tie is not necessary for a hasty supermarket trip to procure a new toothbrush.
But when it is the time for ties, I say get
onboard with a well-considered knot at the neck.
The above collar-huggers, from Good Heavens in
South Africa, saw where cartoon character and sport-themed ties headed and have
mapped a course in the opposite direction… forging onward into the great lands
of good sense and pleasant evenings.
And what happy timing… Here is spring right
now!
