While I am on the subject of stuff made from ties or stuff that is made into ties or what ever - here goes another one.

What well they think of next?   I am afraid to even ask that question.  Here is the lateast nektie invention or the modern man.

Researchers at Iowa State University have found that photovoltaic thin film has advanced to the point where it is durable and efficient enough to be incorporated into clothing. Following these advances, they have decided to craft the photovoltaic material into a snazzy solar powerneck necktie, along with several other solar-powered garments. Talk about the ‘power suit’!

What Does Your Necktie Say About You?

A Necktie Is The Perfect Accessory To Show Your Personality. 

Are you conservative or liberal?  Do you love art work, sports - are you fun to be with or are you too serious and boring?   

Neckties play an effective role in a man's wardrobe. Whether it be to identify a cause, occupation, a group or just to wear great art. Ties are great conversation starters and give a person a sense of self.

"Tell a man you like his necktie and you will see his personality unfold like a flower." - Countess Mara, 1950. 


Hot Rod Flame Tie

The trend today in neckwear is more than a logo on a tie it's about individuality and style. From the latest trend to the conservative, a necktie says something about your style and reflects values.

The most popular colors have been traditional colors. Close to two thirds of all ties sold are either in the red or burgundy color wave.

Do You Collect Neckties? 
 
Some men have collected marbles, baseball cards or action figures as a boy growing up and even neckties later on. During the 1940s there were many famous necktie collectors. The owner of the New York Stork Club, Sherman Billingsley had a collection of three thousand ties.

Men started necktie swapping clubs in the 1940s. A man could take his ten worst neckties to the club and exchange them for another man's ten worst neckties. Hard to say if any of the men went home with a better selection of neckties but they did have fun.

Patriotic Neckties

Necktie swapping became extremely popular as a means of passing on unwanted neckwear. Men would stop each other in the middle of busy city streets to swap their necktie. Some of this swapping was done with perfect strangers.

The Beatles - The Fab Four

The Beatles Licensed Neckties Are True Collector Items

The "Fab Four" was the greatest pop music act ever.  It is no wonder that Beatles neckties are collector items. They started what would be known as the "British Invasion" not only all music to this day still but as well influenced fashion, hair styles and the way young people thought about the world. Beatles ties are cool.

In 1960 four young men in Liverpool England formed a rock and roll band that swept the world with what would be called "Beatle Mania" and changed the way young people everywhere and would alter music forever. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ring Starr became the most successful acts in the history of pop music. Originally their 50s style rock and roll created a sensation that would never be duplicated and later their pop ballads, intense rock with their songs eventually becoming quite sophisticated.

In 1962 the first big hit in the United Kingdom was "Love Me Do," with the band crossing the Atlantic the following year to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. They became the first rock group to be highlighted in full length feature films with a Hard Day’s Night first,  The Beatles Help, Magical Mystery Tour, The Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. That adaption of music in film became the driving force of today's music videos. In 1970 the band broke up after a decade of making music together.

Beatles neckties illustrating song themes were made
in the early 90s by the Manhattan Men's Group. Ralph Marlin also created wonderful novelty theme music Beatles ties with photo quality images and neckties illustrating the Yellow Submarine and other album themes both on silk and poly which were sold until 2002 when they were discontinued. The Beatles neckties are collector items now and soon they will not be available any longer.

New York City UFO Sighting? Mystery Object Provokes Rash Of Internet Speculation [UPDATED]

New Yorkers are certainly a savvy bunch, which is why it's surprising that there is a lot of chatter on Twitter right now about an alleged UFO sighting in the city. While there's been no documentation, it hasn't stopped thousands of twitterers from postulating. This website claims all the hooplah is in reference to a retired NORAD general predicting a UFO visit on October 13, 2010.

"It's been hovering there for a while. I'm just kind of baffled," said Joseph Torres, 49, of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, who spotted the object after leaving a movie. "How can it be ordinary? There is something going on."


Despite clear skies, it was not easy to make out the tiny object shimmering overhead..

The Federal Aviation Administration said it received several calls to its operations center but after reviewing radar data, the agency could not find anything out of the ordinary.. "Nothing that we can account for would prompt this kind of response," he said.
