I came across a nifty site (
blogpulse.com) that let me explore the so-called "blogosphere" - an search for other bloggers writing about bow ties. While there weren't as many results for my searches as I'd hoped for, I found a few folks who'd recently become
Beau Ties customers. Naturally, my curiosity was piqued.
Turns out both fellows are teachers (I've always suspected the smartest bow tie wearers choose Beau Ties).
M. Sanford, a Canadian teaching French linguistics, was planning to wear his new ties with suits to lend "stylistic credence" to his "academic regalia" (I have to say I'm rather taken with his English linguistics...). The other gent,
Fat Jack, had quite appropriately chosen our
American Cursive and "wore it proudly with jeans and a sweater vest" as a "diversion from the biker me," as he puts it.
It's nice to know that bow ties are used for such disparate reasons in similar contexts - all part of what continues make to every day here at
Beau Ties so engaging. Also, I was delighted to know that both fellows were happy with their ties: Thanks for your kind words, and links back.
Vive le noeud papillon!
Beau Ties as it appeared from the parking lot on Thursday morning. Decided I'd be going in the back way.
Good thing this drift was a few feet to the right of the back entrance...
...But not so good if you were hoping for a view out of this window! (That's a bit of sky peeking through in the upper right corner).
The drifting wasn't quite as dramatic at the cafeteria door...
Here's a view out the front door over towards the shipping entrance. Looks like there's still some shoveling to be done!
