okay, so you've got me re-thinking my whole anti-tie stance. Still though, if were going to start producing articles of clothing just so we can have the pleasure of taking them off, it might as well be something more practical. Besides, isn't it sexy to unclip a clip on?

Okay, CunningL...I'm going out on a limb here.....
First of all, MsVision had a lengthy but good comment about men in ties...But no woman has mentioned this yet > I like undressing a tie off a man. I think it is very sexy to tug on a guy's tie and remove the knot, etc. Do I have to teach you guys something new here every day?

A female point of view
Ties look really good for formal occassions when a bit of good colour co-ordination makes a huge difference. With the right coloured tie and the right kind of shirt and a really well made suit and a good haircut, the tie blends and looks right (sometimes the look can be quite stunning).
Most of the time in the office ties look dull. They seem to say "I work in an office"
I'm more of a casual kind of person and can understand the dislike of ties. They are one of those formal kind of things that are going out of fashion these days (unless we are going to a really posh restaurant)

they never did anything for me either -- rather uncomfortable actually. Some guys have that fetish, though. Me, I have a nudity fetish.

I can't post about panty hose because I don't wear them! I've blocked out all memories of them, but I know they were unpleasant.

lol I really went to my best friend's wedding with no tie on, as a silent protest to neckties. It's in my head now and I'm convinced that I'm going to be Barney Rebel on this matter. I don't know why I picked this issue to fight for, but here I am. No ties on me :-)

ROFLMAO!
I have ordered the last fifteen years of my life so that I will never, ever have to be in situation that I must wear a tie. Aside from arraignments, shotgun weddings, and myu own funeral of course, and in none of those will I ever have a choice in the matter, anyway...

see, Eminem wouldn't wear a tie, though. There were going to be no ties in Grandma's book. I'm with Slim Shady.

I'm picturing it and I'm liking it. The tie with you isn't useless. We could partake in some Daniel James Bondage, ifyouknowwhatI'msayin'.

Never even thought of the button hiding factor, thanks. And, I would be honored to be immortalized in a caricature. :-)

FOR THE LOVE OF BOY GEORGE!!!
Cunning, you seem to have struck another sour note! Guess what I wore to the office today? Aha, Aha... a black blouse with a pink tie!!! It came in handy when I had to tie-up some loose ends. Miss Melody

At one point in my corporate career, designers had women wearing suits with ties...and I tried it.....and scored no points at all with my observation in staff meetings that I had finally solved the riddle of what was wrong with my male co-workers.....a lack of circulation to the brain caused by those things! On other topics....think of the days when men wore heels! I think it has really only been fairly recently in terms of fashion that the male wasn't at least as much into fineries as the female. Actually, I rather like to see one cleaned up, trussed up, and presented for eye appeal occasionally....just occasionally.

CunningLinguist,
Very funny post. The tie can also conceal missing buttons along the front of the shirt. hehe.
Would you like to be featured in my Caricature blog?

'twas originally used by noblemen on horseback to wipe the sweat from their brows. Now if you wipe the sweat from your brow with your tie, people will look at you like you just ate a live ostrich.

cummerbunds are so cumbersome, I don't believe that I'd fit in one. It's a man-girdle, and it's kinda dumb. A tummy-tuck's what's under 'em. Hiding the ugly truth is misleading. Burying the belly is deceiving. And just what exactly are you achieving? You're turning blue; no longer breathing.

What an interesting thought. Why was the tie invented? It is kind of a useless accessory huh?
