Beauty Takes More Time Than I Have Left

Bow Ties o’ the Day and I have been on high clash fashion alert this afternoon because Suzanne, out of nowhere, texted me from her office that we are going out to dinner this evening. Date Night! (Not Bee Pig Date Night, which we haven’t done for months. Reminder to self: drain Bee Pig.) What you’re seeing in this picture is one of my attempts to wrangle my hair into a hairdo which won’t be unattractive and/or dangerous. This photo is incontrovertible, damning evidence I haven’t yet found a workable and appealing hairdo for my current hairs situation.

The list o’ things I need to do to gussy-up myself for a Friday night on the town is lengthy. I haven’t picked out the right bow tie yet. That always takes more time than I anticipate, because I end up getting pleasantly distracted in The Tie Room. The choosin’ o’ the neckwear for a public event is an exacting task. To me, creating the right clash fashion statement is both an art and a science experiment. And then there are the cufflinks, and earrings, and bracelets to be chosen. Oh, and I gotta decide on the perfect suspenders. It’s so hectic being a girl sometimes! Gotta go make myself stunning! But my giving spirit gives you these three Christmas bow ties to behold. Enjoy.

Another Bow Tie Convert

This morning we are pleased to present the TIE O’ THE DAY debut of our guest star, Lucky McGill. Lucky hails from Texas, and is part of Diana Clark McGill’s family. Check out Lucky’s suave look. A tartan Bow Tie o’ the Day sets the ambiance for any day or evening of the holiday season.

As the fashion consultant that I am, I do see one detail that, if added, could blow the top off Lucky’s hot-ness. I rarely suggest the fashion option I’m about to ask Lucky to consider. It is THAT remarkable. It cannot be worn flatteringly by most creatures on earth. I myself have never yet felt like I could pull it off, so it simply lurks in the bottom of my fashion accessories quiver until I feel worthy. Just what accessory do I think Lucky could pull off? What added touch is it that I wish for Lucky to rock? A cummerbund. It doesn’t matter if it matches or not, although I have a feeling Lucky is one of those “matchers.” But I can definitely tell that Lucky is a cummerbund pup, of elegant fashion breeding. That is the rarest of rare.

Woofy Christmas, Lucky. Drop by any time you want.
