Nope. Having worked in a secret-Santa-mad office for a few years, I had a couple, but in the Great Wardrobe Purge that followed my open-heart, I did a compete KonMari on all the clothes and only kept the ties I actually wear and like.
On the other hand, I do like ties that are a tad brighter and bolder than may be the norm for WASPy old fogies like me, so some of my colleagues likely think that all of my ties are borderline novelty...
MUSCATO: I haven’t yet read "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" but judging by the number of “to do” notes on my desk, I could learn a thing or two from the KonMari method.
A pox on Secret Santa offices and all who insist on making you participate.
yesterday, i was asked to aid a beautiful young man tie a tie for a photo shoot he was going to. i warned him that i would have to stand behind him to do it & yes, i tied one on. haven't been that close to young, supple flesh in centuries!
Yay 1st!
ReplyDeleteIt's not really a novelty but I do have a tie that does depict James Dean in several smouldering poses... does that count?...
PRINNY: Yes, the James Dean necktie counts as a novelty tie.
DeleteHowever, I don’t recommend wearing it if you’re driving a Porshe 550 Spyder. Could be bad luck.

I am finding KonMari useful as a way to start attacking the heaps of junk. She certainly puts things into perspective.
DeleteSpeaking of which, I think a different perspective might be more flattering to today's cover boy, don't you?
MUSCATO: A different perspective?
DeleteYes, if only he’d move out out of the field of vision.
The last time I wore a tie was at my sister's wedding 20 odd years ago.
ReplyDeleteMITZI: It may be 20 years since you’ve worn a tie but rumour has it that you often “tie one on.”
DeleteMarvin is not having ANY of this dudes little pee pee crap. Look at the look on his face and he's even pointing to his ding a ling.
ReplyDeleteDAMIEN: Ding dong disapproval.
DeleteDon’t tell me you haven’t pointed a finger a time or two.
Never
Deletecoincidence...or not?

NORMA: I suggest you hire yourself out for this very purpose.
DeleteToday’s young men need all the help they can get.
Did you get a stiffy?
don't worry, he felt it.
DeleteNORMA: He may have thought it was your tie pin.
DeleteNah, novelty ties were something I vaguely recall from the 80s. However, novelty cock rings appear never to go out of fashion... Jx
ReplyDeleteJON: How true.
DeleteGUMMY cock rings are big sellers.
So are gummy blow-jobs in some markets. Jx
Deleteso THAT'S what a gummy party is. I decline.
DeleteYou know it's bad when I notice the tie first.
ReplyDeleteMISTRESS MADDIE: It's that age-old problem...
DeleteAre YOU wearing the tie or is the tie wearing YOU?
