I've always thought that the cut of that green shirt doesn't suit the shape of your body

I follow a few men's fashion blogs on Tumblr and I'm mildly annoyed by how often I'm seeing knitted ties lately. I don't care if they're suddenly de rigueur for the well-suited. I think knitted ties are fugly.

Today's Tumblr collection is enormous and has a lot of spoilers for the show. So if you've never watched Farscape, you might want to stay away. But seriously, watch the show sometime. It was amazing. Tuesday, December 4: Farscape.

Fugly?

Nope. they're Buttfugin'nuggly. Which coincidently, is the name of a Douglas Adams character who was in charge of the galactic presidents wardrobe...
Next? Spandex ties!

Oh jeeeezus, don't give the fashion industry any ideas.

Unfortunately, it's about time for them to circle around again, as they were hot in the early 80's....

I had a couple myself; never ever had a regular men's tie, though.

You should give them a try. I love ties! I often wear one to work, and if I'm not wearing a dress to go out on the town, I'm wearing a tie and jacket. I like skinny vintage ties best. Anything wider than 2" doesn't work for me.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

I dress so damned conformist anymore (darn uptight law office job!) that I'd have to go get the better part of a new wardrobe to be able to carry it off.

I miss it, though.

I always wore mine with a button down shirt and some sort of a blazer. Hmmmm.

May have to go do some shopping-hit one of the thrift stores in Wichita!

Hah! I've been watching a lot of classic Twilight Zone lately, and Rod Serling always sports the skinny tie (and usually a lit cigarette).

So, skinny tie is on the list.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

That's a good list!

[dotar-sojat.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can pull off the solid black, so I'm thinking they'll have to have some pattern to them.

Also, for what's it is worth, I don't know if it's hummanly possible to watch more than two three old Twilight zones before you begin narrating life in a Rod Serling Voice.

"Submitted for your approval, a young barrista who spends her days filling cups. But today, today she will open a unique bag of esspresso beans, beans roasted... in the Twilight Zone."

Really, it just kind of rolls of the tongue after a while.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I don't have a single plain-colored skinny tie. I don't know that I've ever even seen one! Even my solid color ones usually have a design woven into them. At the very least, there's a tiny little motif embroidered at the mid-point.

Mmmm. Now I want to go shopping for ties. Or just shopping. MmmmmmSHOPPING.

I loved your Tumblr!

Farscape was one of those shows that I only got to watch when I stayed up half the night, since we didn't have cable, and the darn free TV only would show the good sci-fi at ungodly hours! I loved the strong female characters.

For some reason, I liked Chiana, although I couldn't really explain why-it had to do with the way she moved, as opposed to her dialogue. Her movements had sort of a dangerous, feral quality.

And I TOTALLY ship your OTP!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

God, I loved that show.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

Gross! Knit ties are back! Ewwww!

[anomali.livejournal.com]

Uck! Who actually likes them?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

People who are told they should.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I am unsurprised that you are in my camp on the knit tie issue.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Knit ties, blech!!!

Farscape! Oh Farscape, how I've missed you.
I just realized that's one that the Jbird and I have never watched together.

:firmly places on list for next weekend viewing marathon:

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Happy watching!

[stuology.livejournal.com]

I need to watch Farscape again--after I'm caught up on Supernatural, which is currently at mid-season 4.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Us, too! But we're only a quarter of the way through Season 2.
