Algernon's "Luau"

Thank you to my witty and loyal blog reader, Algernon, for this great picture featuring Luau, a sold-out Beau Tie that is still beloved by many.

"Attached is a photo of your humble correspondent, trolling for salsa and iniquity on an evening out in Long Beach, California. You will no doubt recognize the 'Luau' tie, which is among my friends' favorites. The tie earned me many invitations to dance. Sadly, even a tie as handsome as this one did not transform me into an able dancer, and I took my leave after crushing a beautiful foot or two...".

Here's a close-up image of Luau from the Beau Ties Archives, if you'd like a clearer look:

Goooooogle

Just for fun, I Googled myself last night. Aside from mentions of me, there were listings for a few more like-minded Bills out there.

There's a bowtiebill who likes to travel by RV, a bowtiebill who loves cars, a bowtiebill who barbeques, and a bowtiebill who shops on eBay. There's even a gentleman who has his own web site and makes his own bow ties. That's just in the first few pages of matches.

Who knew I wasn't the only one?

A note to "Family Doc" in Illinois...

To my anonymous friend somewhere in the Land of Lincoln:

Wrong-sized ties look great in your closet but a bit odd around your neck. That's why Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont guarantees that you will be delighted with whatever you purchase from us.

Of course, I want you to be able to wear and enjoy your Beau Ties. Please call our customer service department at 1-800-488-8437 to arrange an exchange. We'll help advise you on the proper size, and send you something that fits!

It's a mystery to me

I'm a bit baffled, but one of my recent posts seems to have disappeared. I may have accidentally deleted it.

I guess I will try it again and see if it sticks around this time.

Joel's successful conversion

Joel Kleinguenther of Andalusia, Pennsylvania, wanted to share this great photo of his one-of-a-kind Masonic bow tie. He recently sent us a long tie, which our Beau Ties handsewers carefully converted to a bow. Joel says, "It was the hit of the Masonic Temple..."!

Man, that guy can golf!

Congratulations to Tiger Woods, who won the PGA Championship Sunday just one month after winning the British Open. I'm just tickled that we named our golf tie "Tiger" in his honor!
