Bow Ties
« on: May 05, 2012, 07:45:58 AM »
I get asked about my bow tie, frequently. Most people say, "Isn't it hard to tie a bow tie? I could never do that."

Give a look at Lucky Levinson of Columbia South Carolina as he demonstrated. This is the BEST video for how to tie a bow tie that I think I have ever found. I share it freely.

Just recently the manager at PF Chang's commented on my bow tie and asked "How do you tie it?"  I have him this link.

Thanks that is really cool!

I have always wondered how to tie it!

Oh, you don't need an occasion. Just wear one. I wear one most days to work. I'm about the only guy at work who wears a tie of any kind.

I wore one last night when I went out with my wife for dinner. 

Yes, you probably don't need to wear a bow tie to the football game or the swimming pool.  But wear a tie to the movies or out to dinner.  It's just fun.

I did wear a bow tie with my dress blues for the Military Ball in March. I was just so excited about wearing the uniform, I really didn't appreciate the bow tie until I saw some of the pictures taken. Next bow tie wearing for me: February 23, 2013 for sister's wedding....

Next time I see a cheap one I might just buy it!

Do you remember how long it took to learn how to tie a shoe lace?  And now, how long does it take you....

Same with bow ties.

For best results, wear a bow tie daily for a month (30 day rule, LOL). By the end of the month, you'll have it down and never forget how to tie a bow tie.

Thanks Mr. Zed!  I think I'll go out and get me a bow tie to have around for special occasions.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
