Do you wear your bow tie with irony or with absolute sincerity?
(Just the other week I was with my sister and I spotted some of those pre-tied ties on the elastic bands. For some reason I was previously unaware of their existence, but I certainly laughed very hard).
Of course a bow tie must be worn with absolute sincerity at all times, but the linked article attributes much to hipster irony, so I'm not sure it's a full-blown renaissance (not wanting to rain on your parade). Certainly, we womenfolk must be cautious of the ironic bow tie.

How could you ask such a question? Sincerity, all the way! The bow-tie is a much underappreciated item of gentleman's apparel.

ReplyDeleteFancy suggesting that Tim is anything but sincere in what he says and does!
ReplyDeleteI saw an older gentleman [an actual one] wearing a bow-tie the other night. He almost looked good.
That's clearly not what I meant.
ReplyDeleteEr...a thousand thousand apologies?
ReplyDeleteI saw an opportunity for a joke - albeit a slight one - and took it. Once again, I apologise etc etc etc.
Are you sure they don't mean 'botox'?
ReplyDeleteMaybe both at once? It would be a fearsome combination, to be sure...
ReplyDeleteIn sum: genuine jollity, dandyish one-upmanship and manliness.
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought that your little bit of fabric was so heavily symbolic of your very being Timmy?
