The Tie Room has a few bow tie residents whose bow materials are somewhat irregular, relative to “normal” fabric bow ties. Each one of these three particular Bow Ties o’ Today is singular unto itself. Each is an orphan in my collection, in the sense that each is only one of its “kind.” In the Census, these lone-wolf specimen will be recorded thus: 1 button-attach, purple, 3D-printed bow tie. 1 hand-painted, camouflage-pattern, porcelain bow tie. 1 bike tire inner tube (complete with air stem and puncture patch) bow tie. What they lack in numbers, they make up for in panache.
BTW Every time I write or say the fabulicious word “panache,” it makes me think of pinoche made by Mom. And then I think of playing pinochle. And I mean EVERY time, for the last 50 years! Yup, that’s how my head works.
