Black Tie Joys

I'm not ashamed to admit it. I like dressing up. Fortunately this is pretty easy for a guy. Got the dinner suit. I was stoked when I got a descent formal shirt too. Being a tall and a bit long in sleeve finally having something that was the full 37 inches (and just peeking out a bit of white) made me far happier than it it should. It came from here(Brooks Brothers). Sadly this means I'm on their mailing list forever and a day. You would have thought it wouldn't have been worth their while sending me out their catalogues. Sure conservative dress is in (again), but I doubt I'll ever buy their preppy bullshit. It's like nothing has changed in American fashion since the 1950s.

Sitting in my quick link menu bar is the tie a bow tie link. No more pre-tied bow ties for me, thank you very much. The reason to suffer through the topological problem is so to untie later in the evening and let it hang loose in a jauntily debauched, devil-may-care, sort of a way.
