Nice Tie

Sometimes a photo doesn't need a caption at all.  Found what I call "Nice Tie" on my personal FaceBook Page.  My life long good friend, Bruce Pavlow's son  had posted this image on his FB Wall -

 Alex Pavlow took a photo with Instagram.
AHAAHAAHAHAHAHA!


I guess he is getting all set for Halloween.

Why AC/DC Angus Young Plays Guitar Wearing Striped Neckties

AC/DC Rocker Angus Young wears neckties! It is this persona - the naughty school boy turned rocker that gives him a very unique appearance on stage.

AC/DC's lead guitarist Angus Young is among the top 100 greatest guitarist ever, ranking number 24 according to Rolling Stone.   That is without question a well earned title and certainly a position that will receive no argument from me, however I have a certain fondness for the devilish rocker that seems unnatural for such an icon of Rock and Roll.  It is his love of neckties that appeals to me especially.  Don't get me wrong I think the guy is terrific with or without ties.

According to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Director Hoard Kramer Angus Young first wore his Ashfield High School Boy uniform as a spoof in 1973.  His sister Margaret suggested that he perform in full high school uniform with a rep striped tie in future performances which he did, continuing through the next 40 years.  It was Margaret that came up with the cool name for the band as well.

I saw AC/DC live at the Miami Jai-Alai Fronton prior to Angus's use of such a unique rock and roll attire in 1972 dressed in a black and white stripped jump suit.  His guitar was screaming as awesome as possible as he held the hall in awe with his guitar licks and his signature strut on stage, in front of a wall of speakers on the very edge of the stage both left and right - a crazy choreography that seemed to defy gravity.

AC/DC's hard rock and roll has a Voodoo like  effect;, it's no doubt Angus is not just one of the greatest guitarists ever, he is certainly one of the greatest musicians of all times. So just how does he get away with wearing a conservative rep stripe necktie on stage.

The answer is simple enough - AC/DC fans love his portrayal of the school boy gone bad so much that his antics on stage while sporting a crushed navy blazer and shorts, accented by white socks with a very colorful love of neckties around his neck have become a rock and roll fashion statement.  His high energy performance ignites AC/CD fans into an explosive rhythm.

When asked if he would still be wearing his trademark school boy outfit and necktie at age 64, he described his attire as distinguished and “classic.” “Have you seen what some of the younger [artists] are wearing nowadays?” he asked. “They look like they’ve stolen their mothers’ skirts! If that’s fashionable, then you could say I’ve maintained a distinctively classic look.” Read more to see what Gibson.com has to say about  AC/DC and the ten things you probably did not know about Angus Young

Neckties Nooses

I wear neckties every day.  There is one thing that definitely separates me from most every other guy.  I am not afraid to tie a noose around my neck in the morning.

On tying ties.

A Funny Joke About Men and Clothing

I found this shot at a blog called Urban check it out
This has nothing to do with neckties, however it does have something to do with some men.  I hope that you will appreciate this as much as all of here at Nice Tie Store did.  I couldn't find any photos of men in drag wearing ties.   Although I did find this really great photographic artwork that should capture your attention for a bit.


So I took off her shirt.  The she said, “Take off my skirt.”  I took off her skirt. “Take off my shoes.”  I took off her shoes.  “Now take off my hose, bra and panties.”   I took them off.  Then she looked at me and said, “I don’t want to catch you wearing my things ever again.”

Geoitics, Racism, the War on Terror and Neckties?

Mahmoud Ahmadineejad the President of Iran doesn't wear ties
I thought that I had seen it all!

I have discovered a most disturbing blog post about neckties last evening called "On Men Who Conspicuously Don't Wear Ties."  I'll warn you ahead of time this post is a real sad statement.   The author claims that the reason that certain men do not wear neckties is because of their political beliefs and their hatred for the belief that others have in their faith.   Her words are very strong, it is the Muslims vs. the Christians, and she is quite graphic in her opinions .

In the last decade and the two years and a half years since I have become increasing concerned over the state of civilization.  Since the tragic day of September 11, 2001 our world has been thrust into a state of chaos that if anything is getting deeper and deeper with every day passing.  

There is so much misunderstanding, prejudice and hate that is apparently being fueled by what I recognize as pure propaganda.  I can hardly believe anything that I read or hear as anything else but fiction or the result of prejudice born out of twisted morals.  

Here is the first paragraph as a preview so you can decide if you dare to click the link below to read more.  You may easily recognize her first word as a clue.  It is her carefully crafted miss-spelling of the word Muslims.

Musloids believe that neckties are a symbol used by the infidel idolaters (Catholics) for the Cross of Christ, with the hanging-down part of the tie being the vertical beam of the Cross, and the bit around the neck being the horizontal beam of the Cross. 
In defense of his choice of attire and to clarify something here I will add this note  -
Mahmoud Ahmadineja, the sixth and current President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, does not wear neckties according to his religious beliefs – something that has been a guide in what is acceptable fashion for a very long time in many religions. His choice whether or not to wear a necktie has nothing to do with his political beliefs or as any special uniformed code that Muslims seek to display as a signal to others of the tie representing the Crucifix or their differences with Christianity.  As did the Romans the wearing of neck clothes is not an acceptable garment choice according to the Muslim faith.


A Necktie Patent

Something New for Ties

My PhotoShop - graphic designer brought an interesting blog post to my attention. Apparently these guys are seeking a patent concerning the design of striped neckties. Their novel idea is quite simple at first glance, however how they intend to approach this task is beyond me. The concept is to have the stripes of a necktie knot align with the stripes of the length of the tie that extends below the knot? Please note this concept in their photo.

Personally I have always thought that the tie knot should be a distinct contrast concerning the pattern or design of the tie. I have also come to terms with the realization that one man's idea could be an extreme one compared to another man's idea. What the heck do I know anyway - my taste has always been leaning towards trendy novelty neckties and wild fashion tie designs. I am not a very conservative necktie affectionado, although I do have more than two dozen stripped ties in my collection of over 400 ties at least.

They call it the Congruent Necktie. Here is their post from May 27th of 2009 on Brandish.tv

The “Congruent Necktie” is a patent-pending bit of neck-tech that allows the stripes of a tie to align with those of its knot, using some foul sorcery to be sure. Read more here Congruent Neckties or on Ask Men

A Necktie Camera Strap ???


Cool Things to Make From Ties

I found, yet another really cool thing that ties can be made into.  This very unique necktie conversion really interested me because I am a photographer.  Now don't get me wrong here, I would never make a camera strap out of neckties.  Making anything other than a necktie knot out of neckties would be a sin around here at Nice Tie Store    Check it out - Jeffrey Hunter


I don’t own a necktie, and I haven’t been clean-shaven since sometime in the mid-to-late 1990s. But that doesn’t mean I can’t brush up nice and get all dressed up from time to time. Which is why I’m seriously considering one of Photojojo’s smart-looking Camera Strap Neckties.
